## A Magisk module resampling for cheapies

This module has been developed for casual users to overide re-sampling parameters of AudioFlinger (the system-wide mixer) in my other modules (["Audio misc. settings"](https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Alt-Repo/audio-misc-settings) and ["Hifi Maximizer"](https://github.com/yzyhk904/hifi-maximizer-mod)) so as to significantly improve audio quality of LDAC Bluetooth earphones and DAC's under $30 (probably) especially when replaying 44.1 kHz tracks up-sampled over or equal to 96 kHz & 24 bits by AudioFlinger, but also the quality of internal speakers and a 3.5 mm jack receiving 48 kHz & 24 bits audio data (except 48 kHz & 16 bits) up-sampled by AudioFlinger. If you are an audiophile expert, please use "extras/change-resampling-quality.sh" in ["USB SampleRate Changer"](https://github.com/yzyhk904/USB_SampleRate_Changer) which can change the parameters on the fly flexibly.

And its effect is accomplished almost without pre-echo, ringing (post-echo) and aliasing noise by very long filter length re-sampling near ideally cutting off a frequency zone from just above 20 kHz filled with ultrasonic noise generated by high frequency dithering and deteriorating audible sound by intermodulation significantly amplified by large amplification non-linearity of LDAC Bluetooth earphones and DAC's under $30. Furthermore this can be considered to be a kind of decimation filtering from 44.1 kHz & 16 bits samples to 40 kHz & 24 or 32 bits ones except the ultrasonic noise by hight frequency dithering. So it has little effect when using AAC and SBC codecs which transmit audio data by 44.1 kHz & 16 bits.

By the way, although most people might wonder how this module improve the audio quality of such devices, it is accomplished by very long filter length re-sampling near ideally (almost without pre-echo, ringing (post-echo) and aliasing noise) cutting off a frequency zone from just above 20 kHz filled with ultrasonic noise generated by high frequency dithering and deteriorating audible sound by intermodulation significantly amplified by large amplification non-linearity of LDAC Bluetooth earphones and DAC's under $30.

However, as the noise has a merit adding mellowness into audible sound in the case of none cheap DAC's having very small amplification non-linearity, please use this module only when using LDAC Bluetooth earphones and DAC's under $30.

However, as the noise has a merit adding mellowness into audible sound in the case of none cheap DAC's having very small amplification non-linearity, please use this module only when using LDAC Bluetooth earphones (any devices, as far as I know) and DAC's under $30 (typically using DAC chip CX31993, ALC5686, KT0210, etc.).

Finally, this module is designed to override re-sampling parameters set by my other modules, but can be used by itself only. You can install this module and enjoy its effect whether you are using one of them together or not.

Notes:

-
* This module doesn't have the effect for Hires. tracks (greater than 44.1 kHz sample rate) which not having large pre-echo and ringing, and high frequency dithering noise, except ultrasonic noise added on purpose for mellowness. Anyhow, if you want to improve the quality of only Hires. tracks on "cheapie" devices, edit "service.sh" script in the installed place or its ZIP archive as described in the script.

* DAC's deteriorate the quality more or less by their internal over-sampling filtering when receiving low sample rate data.
13
+
* If you feel your LDAC earphones or "cheapie" DAC wouldn't become to sound good at all, try editting "service.sh" script in the installed place or its ZIP archive so as to replace "94" in it with one of "93" down to "87" for appropriately cutting off ultrasonic noise causing intermodulation.

* Don't forget disabling "A2DP hardware offload" on Snapdragon devices (if you can), because it forces double re-sampling (44.1 kHz to 48 kHz, and 48 kHz to 96 kHz) and it is so much worse that the latter re-sampling guts the former one at all.
