A music player for Android that sends every sample to your DAC untouched, plays straight from your own computer or NAS, and tells you honestly what you are hearing.
For people who own their music: hi-res FLAC, DSD up to DSD512, and the everyday MP3s too.
Android resamples nearly everything to 48 kHz and mixes it with the rest of the phone's sounds before it reaches your headphones or your DAC. And a good share of "hi-res" downloads are CD audio, or even MP3s, in a bigger file.
Ondoq drives a USB DAC itself, so a 24-bit / 192 kHz file arrives as 24-bit / 192 kHz, sample for sample. When something does change the signal, a status line on the screen says what and why. And it measures each track, so a fake hi-res file shows up as one.
USB Audio Class 2 DACs get every sample untouched at its own rate, DSD as DoP or native, and the phone's volume keys control the DAC itself.
DSD64 to DSD512, DSF and DFF. As-is to a DAC; converted to high-quality PCM for headphones, Bluetooth or the speaker.
Play straight from Windows shares and WebDAV. A track starts in about a second, nothing is downloaded first, and a slow network pauses cleanly instead of stuttering.
Keep an album, or a single track, on the phone with one tap. It plays without the network, and Android Auto lists it under Downloaded.
A quality grade for every track from its measured dynamic range, fake hi-res detection that explains what it found, and a live spectrum analyser.
Graphic and parametric EQ, AutoEQ correction for thousands of headphone models, upsampling filters, and convolution with your own room or headphone files.
Also: gapless playback, crossfade, ReplayGain, CUE sheets, playlists, favourites and ratings, lyrics, sleep timer, playback speed, ListenBrainz and Last.fm scrobbling. FLAC, ALAC, AAC, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, WAV, AIFF, Monkey's Audio, WavPack, DSF and DFF.
Ondoq looks for computers on your network that share files and lists them by name. Pick yours and sign in with the same user name and password you use on Windows.
Browse to your music and add it. Fifteen thousand tracks take about a minute to appear; titles, covers and the rest fill in by themselves in the background.
Music streams as you listen, straight between your phone and your computer, never through us. Want it for the car or a flight? Download the album, or just the track.
No. Ondoq plays music files you own: on your phone, on your computer or NAS, or downloaded from a store that sells files.
No. Ondoq plays through the phone's headphone output, Bluetooth, the speaker and the car. A USB DAC is what makes bit-perfect playback possible, because Android's own audio path changes the signal.
No Bluetooth connection is: the phone always re-encodes the audio for the wireless codec. Ondoq sends the codec the cleanest signal it can, and its status line tells you the audio is being converted.
USB Audio Class 2 DACs, which is most DACs made in the last decade, are driven directly. Class 1 DACs are supported too, though fewer have been tried. Some phones need a USB OTG adapter rather than a plain USB-C cable. Write to us if yours misbehaves.
Windows shares (SMB), which is also how Synology, QNAP and most NAS boxes share files, and WebDAV servers. Your music stays where it is; nothing is uploaded anywhere.
Not yet. Ondoq is on Android 14 and newer for now.
Almost nothing. There is no account, no advertising and no analytics. Your library, settings and passwords stay on your phone. The only record kept elsewhere is whether you bought the full version, under a random identifier, not your name or email. The privacy policy lists every time the app goes online, and why.
Coming soon to Google Play, for Android 14 and newer. Ondoq is in closed testing now.
