Then you have a good ear. The Tidal app is not bit perfect like UAPP is. The answer is really only subjective if you don't care about bit perfect, and don't mind DSP, etc... But subjectively speaking, with bit perfect off in UAAP, I still prefer UAPP. It has much better DSP (graphic EQ, PEQ, Tonebooster Morphit, etc...). Also keep in mind that the Tidal app upsamples their music through the app. I can't prove or disprove this, other than looking at the numbers at the top of the screen, and have read that is what is going on.I know that the answer to this question is highly subjective and probably a worn out topic but…is there a difference between usb audio player and the tidal app soundwise? I tried comparing them and think that I like the sound from uapp better (when using tidal). But is it possible?

I don't know right now. Our software team has their own space, of course, they are very focused and will work on the different bugs that have been brought up. Software people are very different, you try to leave them alone. :^) I do know that the Wifi and BT will not really change. There isn't much we can do about it.
New firmware of DX160 will come, but what improvement will iBasso achieve? MQA8x? Some changes at digital filter (including NOS) ? Hmmmm. My poor head can't imagine.
It seems that Tidal app is bitperfect now with usb dac...don't know more about that...Then you have a good ear. The Tidal app is not bit perfect like UAPP is.

Could you elaborate on what makes you think it is bit perfect now? Are you using the DX160 as a transport, or as the DAC from some other device? I was looking and couldn't find anything that verifies this. The last I saw, it was not bit perfect in any form except on the Windows 10 app.It seems that Tidal app is bitperfect now with usb dac...don't know more about that...
It already has NOS if you install the Lurker Mod.New firmware of DX160 will come, but what improvement will iBasso achieve? MQA8x? Some changes at digital filter (including NOS) ? Hmmmm. My poor head can't imagine.
People who use it with usb dac say this on the Tidal facebook page with android phone and put pictures of the message they get...but as I said I don't know more about thatCould you elaborate on what makes you think it is bit perfect now?

NOS is available since the last firmware update of IbassoIt already has NOS if you install the Lurker Mod.

I don't use Lurker. And I am using NOS of course. The thing I was thinking was something to compensate
the bass weakness of NOS filter. At now, I compensate it with parametric equalizer. I am thinking, but
can't say it clearly. I like the clearness of NOS filter. The center image never becomes vague or fat.
Anyway, I thought iBasso might do something to improve it.

Don't think it will change something for our Dac running on android...but maybe in a near future...

Any idea of what that means ?
@YanaMJ This probably means that there is only first level decoding of the MQA file happening. Are you on the Uapp player? This happens when there is no second level renderer on the output of the UApp first level decoded file.

Thanks for your answer. Yes I'm using UApp@YanaMJ This probably means that there is only first level decoding of the MQA file happening. Are you on the Uapp player? This happens when there is no second level renderer on the output of the UApp first level decoded file.

I get the same thing. I also clicked on the link and sent an email. I got a reply of failure to send. Wonder if iBasso forgot to pay their bill for the domain? That would suck!What about the iBasso page www.ibasso.com. Yesterday I could call her, today this message:
