is there any quality advantage using VOX as a player, and of course higher quality music files, if the quality is limited by the iphone output anyway available through the headphone jack, without an external additional DAC?
Iphone audio quality
One of advantages of using higher resolution and sample rate files is that they experience less quality loss during processing (i.e equalisation, re-sampling).
Other than that, Vox is using different approach of playing audio than Music app or another apps. It also tries to use original codec libraries for iTunes-unsupported formats (FLAC, APE, OGG, OPUS, MPC, etc), while also trying to use Apple's own codecs for Apple's supported formats (ALAC, AAC, MP3, AIFF, WAV). This ensures best decoding quality possible.
Definitely, Vox is advantageous when using as a player, from sound quality point of view. Many users seem to notice that in reviews.
Feel free to ask me if there is anything I can help You with.

not sure if I should be asking this on your forum, but since you offered...
Files uploaded to the phone via itunes file sharing are not
showing up
anywhere in the VOX app, library or collections, anywhere that I
can
see. I'm not using Loop nor want to, just needing to evaluate hi
res
test mixes from time to time on the phone. Just need it as a stand
alone
simple player. This worked on a previous version, not now...
VOX 1.0.7
IOS 8.4
iphone 4s
the files are ALAC .. extension .m4a
they show in the VOX Documents section of the app file sharing
window,
along with a "Downloads" folder and a file named queueData
thanks for any help you can offer

This is a known issue, In Library, enable iTunes source to see them. In future, the previous behaviour will return - file sharing files will always be visible despite visibility filter setting.
