Is Android a non option for a good streamer ?

Hi and sorry if the topic has been already discussed.
In case please redirect me to the discussion.
I have a cheap chinese media player with some Android 4.X operating system.
I have installed the USB AUDIO PLAYER PRO app and the device sees a Gustard U12 usb to spdif converter.
Even using VLC player the sound is nice and not worse than my win 7 pc.
I mean, if i am not wrong Android is a rib of Linux OS that many Inmates use with success.
The question ... has an Android player any chance to be a good audio streamer/renderer ?
I remember some issues about latency for instance.
I would like to know if someone has tried one of these media player as digital source.
Thanks a lot.
Kind regards,
bg
