Interesting - when I use the line out from my Max into my desktop amp (which is now 99% of my use case) my digital battery drains normality but my Max amp battery drains much, much more slowly, maybe 5-10% after a full day.
Well it worked. I cleared my history and downloaded the Google play store app. I then was able to purchase UAPP.
I didn’t say TIDAL or Qobuz yet but I’m kind of in a hurry I’ll have to revisit it later this morning. Am I supposed to give access to my system? I was asked that, but didn’t click on it yet.
I was able to access Tidal and Qobuz through UAPP. After comparing it to just playing through the individual apps in the Android system, I prefer the latter. It is definitely more airy sounding though UAPP, but at the expense of richness, body, and impact. Its has more of a NOS sound as well.

With that said, are there any recommended settings in those two apps to optimize the sound? Also is there a way to save UAPP as an icon on the home page?

There are a few optimisations, main one for me is enabling bitperfect. There's a few guides to be found for UAPP and Neutron. Also a UAPP thread kicking about in here somewhere.
Edit: you'll also want to make sure Tidal is setup for highest quality, not sure if it defaults to this as stock. I don't use Qobuz but reckon it'll probbaky have the same features. You can usually set quality for streaming and downloads.
Press and hold, should give you the option to move to home screen or can press/hold/swipe to home but can be a bit more of a faff.
NOS "might have" been a bad analogy. I can only repeat what I said. Through UAPP it definitely sounded more airy, thin, and holographic with a bigger space between instruments. However I found here, and pretty much any components I have owned previously that this comes at the expense of a meaty thicker, and more musical sound.
I have always found these two be mutually exclusive. At least with headphones, maybe not with speakers, but I don't know that for sure.
Since I listen to almost exclusively to classic rock, I don't want airy, thin, holographic. I want bold, impactful, thick, and musical.

I have Tidal and Qobuz set for highest quality and I have there best plan. I have it set for bit perfect. I'm sure it sounds the way to is supposed to sound, its just not my sound signature. I'm happy with using the individual apps through Android system. I was just curious about UAPP.
I do as well, however two things.
1. You have to have the CD's to rip.
2. Not all CD recordings are good. for example. you could listen to 5 different Hotel California CD pressings and they all sound different. Some good, and some bad. At least with Tidal/Qobuz you get the chance to choose.
