Best Music And Video Player For Nexus 6

Today I'm going to shortlist some Music Players and Video Players which are supported with Nexus 6 and device with running Lollipop and will also discuss pros and cons of some of them
Music Player:
1. Power AMP: This is the most balanced music player available till now. It can deliver the PERFECTLY BALANCED BASS The equalizer is much effective. Another advantage of it is that it has many themes to choose from. Some are paid and some are free. It'll fully compatible with lollipop so there will be no crash of the app. And it's dirt cheap. You get 7 days of free trial and then you'll have to purchase the unlocker
Link: 1. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer
2. Full version unlocker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer.unlock
2. JetAudio Plus: This music player is mainly targeted towards the common people who is not too much serious about the audio but it doesn't mean that it's bad. It's the second best music player available on google playstore. I'll always ask everyone to purchase the plus version as this music player is not that effective with the two plug-ins it comes with (plug-ins are available to purchase through IAP) which are AM3D Audio Enhance and Bongiovi DPS. AM3D is a great plug-in which actually control the audio out-put of your taste and with Bongivoi DPS you can switch between different headphone's audio drivers. Though it's costly but it worth the price tag. Last but not the least, if you're using Pebble SmartWatch then it can be great addition for you because it has Pebble watch support

3. Google Play Music: As a free music player it prove itself as a great musicplayer, always
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.music
4. Musixmatch music & lyrics: A great music player with material design and tinted statusbar and great for those who want the Lyrics of their songs. Please note that for lyrics, the meta data of the audio file should be correct or else it'll fail to show the lyrics.
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.musixmatch.android.lyrify
5. Neutron Music Player: This is a balanced music player. It can deliver very balanced bass. Worth trying
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neutroncode.mp
Other:
Player Pro: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tbig.playerpro
DoubleTwist Player (New): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.doubleTwist.androidPlayer
Video Player:
1. VLC for Android beta: Don't go by the term 'Beta'. It's a beast while playing video. If your device is capable enough to run the video file, it'll make sure that the video runs in buttery smooth FPS.
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videolan.vlc.betav7neon
2. MX Player Pro: It's a great video player with all video format supported. get the pro version to remove the add and some pro features
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.pro
3. KMPlayer: Another video player with all video format supported
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kmplayer
PS: To test the audio out-put through headphones I've used AudioTechnica ATH M50 and Sennheiser CXC 700. Please note that audio quality mainly depends on the audio driver (hardware based) of your device and also on the out-put device you're using, such as headphones and portable speakers.

Thanks for the helpful information.
Also worth noting is that yesterday I needed to play an MKV video file with AC3 audio and MX Player did not support the audio. I didn't download the pro version but it looks like this is a known issue with MX right now. VLC worked flawlessly. So looks like for the time being VLC is the go to until some plugin support gets worked out if you have need of AC3 playback.

It isn't a known problem, MX Player was forced to remove the AC3 audio codec due to licensing problems. To workaround this, download the custom codec.

and then your mkv, AC3 audio videos will work the same before. VLC is great though. It's my go-to player on the desktop but on Android, I prefer MX Player.

Didn't know that. I'll have to check out the workaround because I'm in the same boat, like MX Player a little better than VLC on Android but they are both great.

I can't believe nobody uses Shuttle player, I hardly ever hear it mentioned...by far the best music player to me, great UI, nice eq and sound quality, gapless playback (which is huge cause I listen to a lot of live music), no ads, very smooth...

VLC is the best so far. As far as I know MX player had to terminate AC3 codec due to some license codec.

Did you actually listen to the sound, or just look at it? Not great to look at but side by side with any of the others it blows them out of the water sound with sound quality. I don't work for them or anything, I'm just impressed with how much better it sounds. I'm mainly concerned with the quality over bluetooth in my car, so maybe with headphones its a different story.

Don't know man how can you praise it? :-/ It's not that good :-/ power amp and jetaudio plus with those two plug-ins sounds great for me At least with my headies And most of the people agree with this fact that these two ate great As I mentioned in my post that audio out-put device pays one of the most important role I'll rather ask you to check it with some quality headies rather than car speakers

Update: As many users are rating Neutron player good, listed it to the thread

Favorite music players?

I've been out of the loop for a long time. The last music player I used has seemingly been abandoned (Mort Player), so I'm curious about what everyone uses (and why).
I'd love something with decent widget support (something with cover artwork). All (or at least the vast majority) of my albums have a folder.jpg.
flac fupport would be HUGE, but I don't know of many that support it (Neutron does, I think). EQ would be helpful. m4b (audiobook) support would be awesome, but that will probably need to be a separate player, plus I have an old iPhone that I use in my car for audiobooks.
I guess this is a combination post. Looking for what people use, as well as recommendations for me.

That's one I'm considering. That or Neutron are leading the pack in my mind.

google search "android music app" and there are a ton of threads, but IMO neutron player has by far the best sound quality. I tried a lot of apps and even though it doesn't have the best interface you can without a doubt hear the difference in sound when using Neutron over any other player. Sure, I guess poweramp or any other player could use eq settings to sound better but neutron doesn't need anything.

Poweramp will be the bone pretty much everyone goes with.

Eleven. Or the dark version. Google it.

If you're looking for something different, check out N7 player

Not to break with the pack but I'm using Gone mad music player. It's paid but has a great eq and processor. It supports crossfading and gap less playback.
For me it's been fantastic.

Long time poweramp. Since a few month Shuttle

for me it's Poweramp. since i have a Macbook and use iTunes as my primary player, i have to use Apple Lossless (alac) instead of flac. Poweramp seems to be one of the only players to support this format. if you're using regular flac files, Shuttle (better visuals) or GoneMAD (more customization) should do the trick since they use the same audio engine that supports lossless.

I looked up this one since you mentioned it and found out that I have already purchased the full version...
I'll install the trial on my Nexus and see how it sounds through my DT770s. I'd desperately love for one of these players to sound good enough with them that I don't have to bring my headphone amp with me when I travel. So far, Poweramp is sounding the best through those headphones to me. Not as full as with the amp, but better than my stock iPhone for sure.
The fact that it supports m4b is icing on the cake.

Have you tried viper4android yet? It requires root but is a great amp and even has custom headphone profiles that are adjusted for a wide selection of headphones for different manufacturers. I have Sennheiser Momentums and it makes the music sound amazing.

Looked at it, but since I'm rooted stock I wasn't sure if it would work.
I have to say that of the 4 that I've tried (Play Music, Neutron, Poweramp, and Gone Mad (the latter 3 all trials)), GMMP has so far yeilded the closest sound to my desktop rig using the same headphones, albeit not as loud or with quite the note separation.
I would have sworn that Neutron would do that.
The headphones I have really do need an amp to help bring out the full potential, but I'm pretty impressed with how everything sounds out of the N6. Better than out of my old iPhone without an amp.

Stock rooted w/custom recovery? If so it's really just a matter of flashing a zip and opening the app, installing a driver, and reboot. (edit) You also have to flash a permissive zip for SElinux.
There are configurations for headset, phone speaker, Bluetooth, and aux output.
On the gmmp , I've really enjoyed it tbh. I pay for apps rarely but I've been happy with this purchase. My only issue is it not sending album art to my car stereo very well but otherwise worth it.

Good to know. I didn't know if it would work with the stock kernel (yes I have TWRP installed).
I will have to give it a try. I plugged my E6 into my phone and headphones and was very impressed. I gave up on the E6 shortly after getting a proper headphone amp/dac, but the sound was the closest yet to my desktop rig which is a huge plus to me.

I like Rocket Player. The free version has a 5-band equalizer and the premium version a 10-band one, so you can get a lot of the functionality of Viper4Android there.

Best audio enchancer EQ?

Hello guys, from your experience, what would be the best audio enchancment software that can take control over apps like soundcloud and regular music players?
Im realy looking towards high quality sound, some basic EQ would be great too, but its realy more about the sound quality.
Cheers!

It affects all sound whether playing music, games or YouTube. Recommended!

LG Quad DAC Tips, Tricks, Etc...

Howdy All,
For those who have had a LG V device in the past you'all know what's coming - how do we trick the quad DAC into high impedance mode (HIM) or AUX mode?
For those who don't know here's a little background. The previous LG V series phones have had a very nice DAC and AMP setup which can almost meet the standards of audiophile quality. The thing was that in the later phones (V20 and V30 AFAIR) the software was designed to "smart switch" which mode the AMP was in. HIM and AUX mode settings had the loudest volumes and was corresponding to the headphone impedance value. The normal setting had the lowest volume designed for low impedance IEMs. Note that the AMP setting doesn't really have a bearing on sound QUALITY, just sound VOLUME. I'm guessing but the reasoning for this is to prevent blown IEMs and blown eardrums. I'm going to find the link for the old V30 quad DAC thread and some stuff tried and what worked in order to activate AUX mode and/or HIM. BTW having ROOT on the phone allows for adjusting this setting as needed, which is why I went with the unlocked version this time around. My pair of MrSpeakers Aeon Flows have low impedance but need power in order to drive properly and the AMP in the V series phones would only trigger normal impedance mode.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/help/modes-quad-dac-t3690567
So that brings us to the V40. Does it have a quad DAC? Yes it does. Does it have a smart switching AMP? So far my indications are yes it does. Do the old tricks from the V30 days work on the V40? I don't think that they do. I have multiple extension cables, which I use for triggering the AUX mode as well as an impedance adapter (50ohms I think). The old methods of using the extension cable, the adapter, and both don't seem to have an effect on the AMP setting. My Sony MDR-1As are much louder than my Aeon Flows...bummer for me.
UPDATE - Upon further testing with the help of this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apptrio.hi_fi_status I was able to trigger the AUX AMP mode and it kicked up the volume on my Sony's quite a bit! Unfortunately when I triggered HIM the volume of the sound did not change from the normal mode. Basically what I did was take a 2ft 3.5mm cable extension (male on one side female on the other) and plug it in WITHOUT THE HEADPHONE CABLE ATTACHED. Once the HIFI status app displayed AUX mode I then plugged in my HPs and BOOM, here comes the volume!
Anyways if you have anything to add or have any questions feel free to hit us up. When root is available I'll also make updates to this thread if need be.
Have a good one :highfive:

Is that why the volume is stuck at 75?

If you have your volume go up to 75 and it doesn't blow out your ears then it is due to the AMP being in normal mode.

I just say one thing:

Demands some fiddling before you reach your preferred settings, but for me it's the best DAC player out there!

Have you tried the mobile version of foobar2000? As it's the preferred app for FLAC files and such on the PC, I imagine the mobile version is quite good as well. I wonder how it compares to Neutron Player. I definitely will give both a shot and compare.
On the note of music players, despite making fun of it (it's quite easy to do) and being certain it would fail, I recently converted to Tidal. The quality is really astounding, and the music library is almost as complete as Spotify/etc. Additionally, some albums are available as "masters" that are actually encoded with MQA!

Your right about Tidal. It sounds awesome. The price difference isn't worth it though.

Treesap! I'm comparing those players right now! I'm listening to metal (Tesseract), jazz (Yellowjackets), all flac, and so far I like both foobar2000 and Neutron. The built in player is not satisfying me yet, except for mp3 (I See Stars - Treehouse). Does anyone know if it's necessary to disable the built in effects to make other players work independently? That's what I did with v20. Just remember how different expectations and taste we all have in regards to music/sound
And maybe I should add that I'm just a regular user (with high demand on sound quality), who can't afford too fancy earbuds or extras right now. Any advice regarding good quality sound (budget price) earbuds would be very appreciated

Went back to Poweramp (poweramp-alpha-build-705) and so far it's the best one for me.

Well I'm sure there's some tech guys here who can give us the correct details, but for me the answer is yes! After tuning it up for my ears, the Poweramp does it in a perfect way. If I play mp3 or flac it's giving me perfect sound all over, compared to the lg app were I had to tune it up for individual files.

have any of you engaged the DAC for streaming, for Google music in particular?
there was mention by some last year that one DAC player and an add-on app could do that for Google music. i just don't keep much on my phone and streaming is my way, so I'm still looking at taking advantage where i can. I'm running V4A on a rooted V30 now and looking at the V40's development.

(Poweramp-v3-build-805-uni)

I realize there probably isn't much benefit from forcing high impedance but I do want to do some testing with it among other things so I'm curious has anyone figured out any tricks to forcing it with an extension cable or anything of the sorts. I'm still trying to find ways and it looks like similar ways done to the v30 isn't working the same way for our v40's

I'm not 100% sure about how poweramp and the built in eq interacts, but after fiddling for a bit, it seams like what I'm sharing here works best when it comes to volume and sound. Have in mind our individual reference of sound and of course, what kind of earphones/buds you have (this is based on flac files).
You can see I've put replay gain on max in Poweramp settings. You can easily change RG in the eq later to fit individual album.
If anyone else have suggestions, please don't be shy

What settings have you set your Poweramp to? The LG app is sounding better and much louder to me.

I realize there probably isn't much benefit from forcing high impedance but I do want to do some testing with it among other things so I'm curious has anyone figured out any tricks to forcing it with an extension cable or anything of the sorts. I'm still trying to find ways and it looks like similar ways done to the v30 isn't working the same way for our v40's

I put details in the first post. Maybe you missed it?

Speaking of the DAC, does anyone know if the V40 has support for MQA? The V30 has it, and they recently added support for it to the Essential PH-1, but no mention of it for the V40, just "high quality Quad DAC". I suspect that it does, because they probably used the same chip for the V40, but I see no mention of it anywhere, so far.
