Morph Audiophile – Android music player for Emby, bit-perfect USB DAC driver (free beta, testers wanted)

[sMorph 0]

Hi all,

I'm the developer of Morph Audiophile, an Android music player that plays your Emby music library alongside local files, SMB, UPnP, Jellyfin and Navidrome. Disclosure: it's my own app, built by a single developer.

What it does with Emby:

• Browses your music library by album, with favourites, play history, playlists (create, edit, delete) and instant mix.
• Plays the original files at full quality, including hi-res, without transcoding.
• No Emby Premiere needed on the phone side: it talks to the server API directly.

What it adds on the playback side:

• Its own USB audio driver for external DACs: bit-perfect PCM up to 1536 kHz, native DSD and DoP up to DSD1024, multichannel, bypassing Android's resampling.
• Optional DSP (parametric EQ, AutoEq, room correction), all switchable off.
• Android Auto, Chromecast and DLNA output.

Emby support is new: I tested it against Emby Server 4.10 with a small library, so I'm looking for people with real Emby libraries to tell me what breaks.

How to connect, in the current test build: Streaming → Server e NAS → Add NAS or server → choose Jellyfin (same API) and type your server address by hand, e.g. http://192.168.1.10:8096, with your Emby user and password. A dedicated Emby entry with automatic discovery is coming in the next update.

It's in a Google Play closed test, free and open to anyone, no approval needed:

Thanks, and happy to answer questions.
