Soundiiz ap. Difficult to figure out for me, but once I did that I can quickly use any ap. But in some cases Tidal will have the album/song but it just isn't picked up in Qobuz or vice versa.- garysohn

USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android
I'm a fan of the apparent remastering that I've read goes along with the MQA. I guess that is what I am responding to when I prefer the MQA file on Tidal. If I listen to various Etta James songs, for example, I will always prefer the MQA version. To me there is usually no comparison. Is that how...- garysohn

mods or upgrades for MP-301?
It seems you've found your sound. You could do a few small things like rubber rings around the tubes. A power conditioner of some kind. Tube rolling is easy. You like what you have.

Aegir can be auditioned for fifteen days. I guess. Probably not supposed to send it back if it functions correctly. $800. And you can use them mono a mono for more power. You have to wonder what that would sound like.- garysohn

HiFiMan Susvara
Youtuber Currawong has stated in two videos that Susvara is available for $4000. I've never seen it sold at that price. I believe he lives in Japan. Is that some gray market price for a unit sold on a backstreet near the Acihabara?- garysohn
