Looking for an older phone that can output 192khz over USB to my DAC. I can get 96khz out of my old Honor View 10. I’m using it as USB C out to USB in on my DAC. Works good for Amazon and Apple Music streaming.

Most phones have USB2 highspeed which is enough for 192kHz. But driver for the DAC is needed. Google says android supports only USB audio class 1 out of the box officially, the driver is part of the android linux kernel and the android sound layer accesses the snd-xxx drivers using standard tinyalsa library. There are android apps which include a USB audio class 2 driver, IMO implemented in userspace using the libusb library. So the support really depends on the particular DAC.

Yes but not to the extent what you need to do. And you can't change android output dependences from standard apps either (including USB). So you need both costume player (with it's own USBA 2.0 driver and infrastructure) and you are limited to it's streaming capabilities.

why would u need anything higher than 48kHz? unless ur USB DAC is broken and can properly decode only 96kHz or 192kHz....
