## Review summary

Users praise USB Audio Player PRO for bit-perfect audio and strong DAC integration, including hardware volume control and a capable PEQ, with solid streaming support. Repeated concerns center on stability issues, flaky playlists, and DAC compatibility after updates. The UI is seen as outdated, and external playlist handling can be awkward. Overall, it’s a top choice for audiophiles when it runs smoothly, but reliability and workflow polish need attention.

### Pros

- Excellent bit-perfect audio quality when using a USB DAC
- Supports external DAC features like hardware volume control and bypassing Android DSP
- Strong support for high-resolution streaming (Qobuz, TIDAL) and local files
- Parametric EQ (PEQ) with multiple bands enhances tuning (10-band available)
- Favored by audiophiles as a top option for Hi-Res playback

### Cons

- Stability issues: crashes and bugs, unreliable playback
- Playlist/indexing problems: playlists not showing, metadata not loading for large libraries
- DAC compatibility can break after OS/app updates (e.g., BT-W6, OnePlus/Pixel updates)
- Outdated or clunky UI/UX compared to rivals
- External playlist support issues (M3U) requiring absolute paths and URL encoding
