Morph Audiophile

Your music, exactly as recorded, on Android.

Morph is an Android music player with its own USB audio driver. It bypasses the Android mixer and sends your files to the DAC untouched: bit-perfect PCM up to 1536 kHz, native DSD up to DSD1024, up to 24 channels. And it shows you on screen what the DAC really receives.

Join the free beta How it works

In closed testing on Google Play, open to anyone. Public release on the Play Store coming soon.

What it does

An audiophile player that stays simple: the advanced parts switch on by themselves when they are needed, and everything that alters the signal starts switched off.

Its own USB driver

Bit-perfect PCM at 16, 24 and 32 bit, from 8 kHz to 1536 kHz, on stock phones from Android 9. No root. Hardware volume on DACs that have it.

DSD the way it was meant

Native DSD and DoP from DSD64 to DSD1024, DSF and DFF files, SACD ISO and DVD-Audio ISO images, also multichannel.

Up to 24 channels

Multichannel with speaker layout mapping, and a standard downmix (ITU-R BS.775) when the DAC has fewer channels.

Your library, wherever it is

Local files, SMB and WebDAV, UPnP/DLNA media servers, Navidrome and Subsonic, Jellyfin and Emby. Your Tidal and Qobuz playlists through BubbleUPnP.

DSP done right

31-band and parametric EQ, AutoEQ headphone profiles and headphone simulation, room and speaker correction. Bypassed automatically in bit-perfect mode.

Everywhere you listen

Chromecast, DLNA renderers and Android Auto. Morph can also act as a UPnP renderer for your controller app. On Bluetooth it recognizes and shows the codec in use, including LDAC and LHDC/LLAC, when your phone and headphones support it.

Measured, not claimed

The driver is tested against real device data and on a hardware test bench that records what reaches the USB port and compares it sample by sample with the source file.

661audio devices whose USB descriptors are tested
4,338descriptor variants in the automated tests
2,526device profiles covered by the bench
100%stereo and mono PCM profiles bit-perfect up to 768 kHz
  • 124 of 128 edge-case profiles bit-perfect; multichannel up to 24 channels and DoP bit-perfect.
  • The Telemetry screen shows the whole signal path, from the file to the DAC, and says when something is resampled or processed, and why.

Join the beta

The closed test is free and open to anyone, with no approval needed.

  1. Join the tester group: groups.google.com/g/morph-audiophile-tester
  2. Open play.google.com/apps/testing/it.paolo.morph, tap "Become a tester" and install Morph from the Play Store.
  3. Google asks testers to stay enrolled for 14 days, so please don't leave early.

Have a USB DAC? Plug it in, play a track, then open Sound and tap "Send DAC report". It sends the USB descriptors and the measured result, with no personal data, and every new DAC becomes a test case.

For DAC makers

Send us one or two units and we will measure them, fix any quirk and add them to the verified list, at no cost. The USB engine is also available to license for your own Android app, and we can build a complete player under your brand. Get in touch.
