Yes, that occurred to me earlier today... but it does play flac and wav:
"Supports FLAC, WAV, APE, MP3, WMA and OGG." from here.
Kind of expensive as an ipod at $699.
the specs on this are outstanding, no doubt it sounds very good, but, for only @$200 the samsung galaxy 5" mediatab will handle up to 24 bit 96khz hi rez wav/flac and has similar specs. either of these will smoke any i-pod,pad,phone. but i would definitely save the $400 and go for the samsung as it is highly doubtful any noticeable improvement in sonics would be detected through headphones with a 192khz sampling rate over a 96khz sampling rate.
Only Android 4.1 aka Jelly Bean support mch audio, Android 4.0 doesn't.
I was looking for an automobile solution where you could plug one of these into a multi-channel car amp.
...the DAC specs probably aren't good enough to warrant using it as a serious player...
There's a little silly problem... if you connect the hdmi out of the tablet to a external pre/amp, you can get the digital audio out of the tablet but you loose the video part, since the tablet screen will be deactivated*.
*unless it supports hdmi mirroring - very few do that.
Me too don't care about video in a car, but... if you have the tablet screen completely black, how do you manage the audio player?
