How can we confirm if spotify or tidal is in bit perfect?

on previous versions of lurker firmware you could check ALSA state by launching the USB Audio application (as Tidal is playing for example). This should tell you the sample rate and bit depth the bitstream being sent to the DAC is. However, I don't know if this works on his latest dx160 firmware. Certainly does on my DX150.

It happened that OTA update to 1.01.084 is available. Until iBasso made local firmware update available for downloading, those who have 1.00.055 with add-on v1.22 can do the following:
  1. Return DX160 back to official firmware 1.00.055.
  2. Perform OTA update.
Having firmware 1.01.084 up and running, you can download add-on v1.23 with all the bells and whistles and apply it, as usual :)

Has anyone tested the battery life in real world usage? I reckon the screen, yes that gorgeous screen may be a guzzler!?

I have had it for a couple weeks
Oh really! Thats great.. what do you think about the UI speed in general and the overall SQ. Have you really got around to test the battery life?

How does it compare to your M11 or M11 pro?

Still getting used to it. M11 U.I is a much smoother experience so far

Sound is good. Speed is herky jerky. Mango player has crashed several times (1st F.W.) updating library also froze at 71% 2x?? (256GB card)
Screen depth of color is amazing. The colorfly 8 player of M11 both take colors from album and make background or just stretch the album.....would be great. Looking at 25% of the area taken by a dark blue bar below album art is unfortunate.

I expect FW will address most things as I have never seen any droid based dap come out the box issue free
