What actually happens: 44.1kHz is upsampled to 48kHz and 24bit is downsampled to 16bit. Due some -very- stupid Android tie-up, only a very few manufacturers have a workaround for this (but which also proves that it wouldn't be impossible, just don't expect the same from HiMedia).
i heard that there are some android players which can output up to 192/24, but they have dedicated DAC for hi-res and DSD media processing, in the same way Sony used a dedicated audio chipset DSD for native  playback on their laptops

It seems Mediaplayer lost the capability to play FLAC files at high resolution in 2.0.9.

never really has it. output was limited at 48khz/24bit - is an android stuff

if yoy don't want bells and whistles [amore than that, if you haven't a dolby vision capable tv], stay with q10

So you have Oppo? Than you can tell better than me.  As far as I know, playback from network shares only available with the CFW, which you also must buy separately and will cost you a mid-priced Android Media Players price on it's own.
you have message in private , as here is another forum

5
...but what I've really meant is the missing network share access and playback.
what???? on oppo? i had problems with q10 and password-protected shares, solved them using simple fie sharing, or with folder named using spaces. but oppo?

6
I have Oppo 205 and it can't replace Q10 pro.
well, don't you want to trade 205 for my q10 ? :)) (huh huh... if i had a 205.. i would change my entire audio system to match the sound quality!)

Well Oppo won't beat HiMedai in picture quality (there's a test that proves that it has clipping and banding issues).  With CFW (which is inevitable for network share playback and proper format, like .iso support) it costs a way more than any Android Box jet. + You can't have KODI or any other Poster media browser/Library on Oppo at all. And as far as i can remember there's a mayor bug with subtitle handling,  special characters displaying improperly in case of some languages (like mine: Hungarian) with CFW. 

I would rather go UP on the HTPC route for that money for sure. IMO.
clipping and banding will be there on 203, as in q10 or directly on tv, via internal player. kodi and posters and library ... i'm not a child anymore, i know all my titles and favorites where they are
romanian subtitles work very well, probably hungarian too (must select proper country code page in 203 subtitle settings).
no iso? extract the content into avchd folder, add some subtitles on usb stick. no streaming (and) apps? tv will handle perfectly netflix at 4k with dolby vision.

i tested 203 a lot; i bought it with intention to return before 14-days grace period expires, because initially i considered that a minor video difference doesn't deserve five-fold price. In this time i asked some of my friends to assist me in these tests - same movie, all default settings on both devices. results was mixed, some preferred darker image on q10, other brighter on 203.
then dolby vision kicked. no more words to say :). "better" became "far better".
to add more kick, i seasoned the experience with some 96/24 flac files, and some 2.82mhz dsd files. the audience remained silent, because neither me or them are audiophiles. but sounds better. suddenly, my old collection of sacd and dvd-a became usable.

long story short, i kept 203, i transformed q10 into a NAS, at least until i'll sell it.

... i'm remembering the c3po dismantle in SW5

What are you going to replace it with?

Already replaced. Oppo 203.

captain, my captain...
futeko, so long - and thanks for all the fish.
you worked harder than any other supplier to compensate the lack of professionalism from himedia.
but enough is enough. my q10 is now for sale, or giving it as a toy for my nieces. whichever comes first.
hope is for sale.
at least i sold first the power source, was a great part. hdmi cable - mmm., so-so.

HiMedia Q10 Pro, Q5 Pro / Re: Color space which setting to select?
« on: June 06, 2018, 07:37:25 AM »
is enough for standard bluray and below.
for uhd you should select  at least 4:2:0 10bit . i'm using 4:2:2 10bit.

HiMedia Q10 Pro, Q5 Pro / Re: Feature Request: HLG/HDR
« on: May 14, 2018, 08:34:49 AM »
seriously speaking, HLG is easier to implement than DV, just metadata, not dual video stream or so.
what i don't understand, razorback, is how you set up the video line; isn't the tv decoding directly the satellite signal, using internal tuner?  where are you recording streams, external hdd? (i suppose that those recordings must be encoded and playable only on recorder tv).
anyway, a sample could be useful, if you can provide one.

using cfw2.0.8, clean install, i observed that the problem from cfw2.0.7, with google play not opening, has reappeared.
later edit; was cfw 2.0.8 v1, which was broken; v2 is working ok

i think u mean tv with androidtv.
yes, i hv that too, very handy.

neah, i have an oled from lg, that means webos [html5 apps, mostly] - with native netflix app, supporting 4k and dolby vision.
as i know [corrections plase, if needed], on android this isn't possible

15
you could use a hdmi splitter, sending one way to tv and another to audio system [but the tv will no longer send audio via ARC to player, if you're using this configuration]
it's not neccesary to be a dual hdmi 2.0 splitter, it's enough to have one hdmi 2.0 and one hdmi 1.4 [for audio]
