Best player for iPhone, pad

The music player in yr iPhone/iPad plays lossless AIFF, WAV and Apple Lossless. No need to purchase a new player.

There's FLACplayer that I use to play FLAC but it is not as easy to manage my playlists and library with that.

ps there's a hardware limitation on iOS devices that limits playback to 48kHz and 44.1kHz. So no 88.2, 96 or 192kHz material will be played natively

"there's a hardware limitation on iOS devices that limits playback to 48kHz and 44.1kHz. So no 88.2, 96 or 192kHz material will be played natively"

There are exceptions to this...Example: iPad via Apple's $35 Camera Connection Kit will output digital 24/96 lossless, with incredible fidelity.

Yes but as some articles have stated, that's a hack that works and we don't know if Apple would disable this. As we know, the same connector doesn't allow that same feature on the iPhone so we know it can be locked out.

The official Apple endorsed method (eg using a Cypher Solo DAC type device or a digital dock like the Wadia) is still limited to 44/48kHz IIRC
