Converting my unused old smartphone with a 3.5 mm jack - a One Plus 5 into a DAP

[rwnano]

I have an old Android phone a One plus 5 with stock Oxygen OS. I can reformat it and load a custom ROM into it. Whats the best way to do so, so as to use it as a DAP please?

Any other better software or custom ROMs?
Also, can I use Apple Music to stream to this Android DAP?

Viper audio mod if it's still around

Dont go for custom ROMs on old phones. Sometimes it goes so buggy it will crash frequently. To use as DAP you can try to stay in the stock version of Android.

If you are not bothered about the android sampling issue, You dont need a custom rom. I use spotify on an older device and use the connect feature from my handset.

More advanced setup would involve a network player app on your older device to play files hosted on the network. I use kodi & yatse for this.

If you want maximum flexibility, you could run a LMS server instance somewhere in your network and use your OP5 as a player. There are squeezelite instances which run on android. Sound quality could be addressed by a usb otg dac, for example Fiio.
A simpler approach would be to install Spotify on the OP5 and simply use it as a Spotify endpoint.
