X AIR vs USB Audio Player PRO Usage & Stats

The X AIR Android® App allows you to control all mixing, processing and effects functions of BEHRINGER's X AIR digital mixer series right from your Android® tablet or smartphone. X AIR for Android® delivers comprehensive control for the X18, XR18, XR16, and XR12 mixers. The user interface is configurable for either simplified access or expert level editing (S/E), for mixing 18 input channels to 12 buses. Control is also provided for the 4 internal stereo effects processors – all of which feature the critically-acclaimed BEHRINGER X32 audio processing engine. The X AIR app provides the mobility to go where you need to get the most out of your system, enabling you to adjust your house mix from any seat or fine-tune monitor mixes from on-stage. Since all BEHRINGER's X AIR mixers feature internal access points, setting up the X AIR app couldn’t be simpler – just select the X AIR network and connect your Android® device to it. Upon opening the app, your X AIR mixer will show up as a controllable device, and will even allow you to lock your Android® device to that specific X AIR mixer. You can also run the X AIR app in demo mode without connecting to your BEHRINGER X AIR series mixer. Additional hardware is not required, making the X AIR Android® App the ideal solution for seamless remote mixing applications. KEY FEATURES - Control all Input Levels, incl. Preamp Gain, Low Cut, Phase, Phantom, Stereo Link - Channel Parametric EQ Control – fine-tune EQ from anywhere in the room - Configurable RTA overlay on the EQ editing screens, or separate large analyzer screen - Metering Overview – whether you use the Android® tablet or smartphone remotely or at the console, all levels at a glance - Control bus send levels of input channels conveniently from their channel faders - Detailed Preamp/Configuration, Gate, Dynamics, EQ and Bus Sends pages - 4 Full Effects editing screens for Hall Reverb, Vintage Room Reverb, Modulation Delay, and Dimensional Chorus, or more than 50 other studio quality effects - Use single bus-send mode for personal monitoring application without risking to affect any other signal path - All input channels can be assigned to one of two AutoMixing (gain sharing) groups for conferences or panel discussions - 4 Mute Groups and 4 DCA Groups remote controllable from the app - X AIR Mixer's 64 internal snapshots can be filtered and recalled instantaneously - USB Return routing options to stereo Aux- and FX-Returns (X18/XR18 only) KNOWN ISSUES - NOTE: With version 1.5, we have dropped support of the former IDCA function in favor of the four new mixer-internal DCAs. The internal DCAs are causing way lower network traffic and improve the response of the app, especially when more remote control clients (e.g. for personal monitoring) are connected to the same mixer. REQUIREMENTS - Compatible with Android® devices running Android® 4.0 or higher, display sizes larger than 5" recommended - X AIR 1.5 requires X AIR series mixer firmware V1.11 or higher, or can be used in demo mode

High quality media player supporting USB audio DACs and HiRes audio chips found in the latest phones. Play up to any resolution and sample rate that the DAC supports! All popular and less popular formats are supported (beyond the formats that Android supports), including wav, flac, mp3, m4a, wavpack, SACD ISO, MQA and DSD. This app is a must-have for every audiophile, bypassing all audio limits of Android. Whether you use our custom developed USB audio driver for USB DACs, our HiRes driver for internal audio chips or the standard Android driver, this app is one of the highest quality media players around. New: route and play audio from other apps! With the optional Feature Pack (in-app purchase), you can now route audio from other apps and play it through the app's high-quality USB audio driver (Android 10+, fixed user-chosen sample rate). This allows playback of apps like Deezer, Apple Music and even Poweramp, all using UAPP’s superior sound engine. Note: This is a complex feature that may not work on every device or with every app: some apps like Spotify may require using a browser like Opera with their web player. The latency is too high for movies. On many Android 8+ devices, the app can also switch Bluetooth properties of a BT DAC, like the codec (LDAC, aptX, SSC, etc.) and switch the sample rate according to the source (feature dependent on the specific Android device and BT DAC and can possibly fail). Features: • Plays wav/flac/ogg/mp3/MQA/DSD/SACD ISO/aiff/aac/m4a/ape/cue/wv/etc. files • Supports almost all USB audio DACs • Plays natively up to 32-bit/768kHz or any other sample rate/resolution your USB DAC supports by completely bypassing the Android audio system. Other Android players are limited to 16-bit/48kHz. • Utilizes HiRes audio chips found on many phones (LG V series, Samsung, OnePlus, Sony, Nokia, DAPs etc.) to play HiRes audio at 24-bit without resampling! Bypasses the Android resampling limits! • Free MQA decoding and rendering on the LG V30/V35/V40/V50/G7/G8 (not G8X) • DoP, native DSD and DSD-to-PCM conversion • Toneboosters MorphIt Mobile: improve the quality of your headphones and simulate over 600 headphone models (in-app purchase required) • True folder browsing • Play from a UPnP/DLNA file server • UPnP media renderer and content server • Network playback (SambaV1/V2, FTP, WebDAV) • Stream audio directly from TIDAL (HiRes FLAC and MQA), Qobuz and Shoutcast • Gapless playback • Bit perfect playback • Replay gain • Synchronized lyrics display (.lrc file or embedded in the file) • Sample rate conversion (if your DAC doesn't support the audio file's sample rate, it will be converted to a higher sample rate if available or the highest if not available) • 10-band equalizer • Software and hardware volume control (when applicable) • Upsampling (optional) • Last.fm scrobbling • Android Auto • No root required! In-app purchases: * Advanced parametric EQ from effect vendor ToneBoosters (around €2.99) * MorphIt headphones simulator (around €3.99) * MQA Core decoder (around €4.49) * Feature pack containing a UPnP control client (stream to a UPnP renderer on another device), capturing and playing audio from other apps, stream from Dropbox and add tracks from a UPnP file server, Dropbox or FTP to the Library Warning: this is not a generic system-wide driver, you can only playback from within this app like any other player. Please have a look here for a list of tested devices and more information on how to connect a USB audio device: https://www.extreamsd.com/index.php/technology/usb-audio-driver For more information on our HiRes driver: https://www.extreamsd.com/index.php/hires-audio-driver The recording permission is optional: the app will never record audio, but the permission is required if you want to directly start the app when you connect a USB DAC or use the System audio capture feature.
