Even with an external DAC, playing a 24/192 audio file is going to tax the processor.

Oh, you are welcome. One more thing that I noticed today that is weird is how quick you get used to things. My eyes are spoiled with that high resolution screen now. After practically using the Note 4 nonstop the last 2 days I thought I could use my Nexus 7 on MR for a while today. The screen is bigger and it has a keyboard-case. Very surprising the screen was not very nice to look at - almost as if everything is washed out - and that with its 323 ppi screen. Earlier this week that screen looked just fine even hours at a time.
A very good thing that the Note 4 has quick charging - it is impossible to run the battery down while it is charging. It will still charge the battery up even under very heavy use. The same cannot be said about my Nexus 7 - plugged in and being used at the same time the battery still goes down. Not sure if my charger is defective, but I remember having the same problem with my S4 losing charge when using while plugged in.
As for audio - is there any test I can try out for you to see if the cpu is able to keep up with 24/192 ?
Edit: Found 2 sample files - one in 2 channel 24/192 flac and the other 5.1 channel 24/88.5 flac. They play just fine in the background with the stock player even with a game playing at same time. Not sure if Powerboat Racing qualifies as taxing on the cpu - but neither the sound skipped or any lag in the game noticeable.
