Does the Xiaomi 14 Ultra really have Hi-res Audio?
I have a question about the Xiaomi 14 Ultra and its compatibility with high-resolution (Hi-Res) audio output. I’ve noticed that in apps like PowerAmp, the Hi-Res output option is not available, and in USB Audio Player Pro, a Hi-Res codec is not detected, which is something that works on the Xiaomi 12. Additionally, on the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, I can only use the OpenGL audio output, while on the Xiaomi 12, the Hi-Res option is available.
This is puzzling, considering that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra has Hi-Res certification on its packaging, while the Xiaomi 12 does not. Furthermore, the 14 Ultra is a newer and higher-end model. After doing some research on Reddit, I found that even lower-end devices offer the same options that the Xiaomi 12 includes, but the Xiaomi 14 Ultra doesn’t seem to support them.
For this reason, I have the following questions:
Could this be a problem specific to my device?
Is there a way to enable or fix this limitation?
Or does the Xiaomi 14 Ultra simply not support these features despite its Hi-Res certification?
