    DS audio Does Android DS Audio bypass the Android resampler, passing untouched 96khz/192khz audio?

    Android by default resamples all audio (usually to 48khz) before passing to the device's D/A converters. Certain HD audio Android apps bypass the Android mixer, allowing HD audio files (FLACs) to play in full resolution. Does DS Audio do this? If not it would be a killer feature.
