Hi there I just recently found out that Android by default is programed to output 44.1 khz and any file above it like the hi res 94 khz is suppressed and played at 44.1 khz is it true and apple music on Android which is an excellent app for hi res audio not worth it, if so please suggest how to listen to hi rea audio on mobile phone (Android) Thanks for the help.

This hobby got so much more enjoyable when I took the NPR audio quality test and just accepted that I, like 99.9% of the population, can’t really tell the difference between hi-res and lower-res audio in a blind test.

For me that's when I looked at flac vs 192 kbps mp3 versions of the same song (converted myself) in the spectrogram and found very little difference between the two. 320 kbps almost look exactly like flac. 128 kbps is where there's a big visualize difference
