I can confirm the dac works with Tidal and Spotifi. No need for any app though you need an "adapter" to activate the hifi dac. Hopefully this will not be necessary with the V20.
To prevent any confusion: it's the high gain mode of the amp that you need to use an adapter or rooted system to activate as you please.
The ESS DAC itself can be turned on or off as you please in the system drop down menu.
And if you are not rooted or using an adapter, you can get high gain mode if you use headphones greater than 70ish ohms impedance. and the high gain amp works regardless of what software is being used as long as you have hifi dac turned on. Hifi DAC is the name of the menu option...
