Sorry for all the posts, now I am facing an issue were the MQA song pauses at the very beginning for 1sec and then it resumes automatically. Anyone with this same issue?

I actually also find MQA tracks to have a bit of a stutter when an MQA track follows a non-MQA track on my MQA enabled SMSL M500 DAC. Once I upgrade the FW on my S1 I will check that out as well.

Same here especially with UApp!
It often stopped playing in UApp, respectively made app crash or stole priority when using Tidal app on same Android phone, all in all I don't recommend UApp at all currently with S1 after my experience with old Motorola phone...
On IPhone / IPad and Audirvana S1 is running the most smoothest so far...

Other than UAPP, Sony Music Center app I think can play MQA without a problem because I tried with my downloaded MQA files, they played perfectly as it shows MQA/ 4X or MQA./X4 on the PAW S1, but not showing in the app like UAPP did. When you connect your S1 to Android and having both app (UAPP and Sony Music Center), make sure to clear the default so you can choose which app to use with PAW S1.

Can you provide more details on clearing the default? Thanks.

Adding a picture of UAPP and PAW S1. UAPP reports USB DAC @ 44.1kHZ / PAW S1 MQA. X4

Look at the bit rate
In your case it looks like S1 is showing full unfold to maximum bit rate but I don't believe 32 bit is true or S1 is doing upsampling which I don't believe
Is operation stable in your case without stopping or crashing?

Anyone knowing a way to report the irregularities for bit rate display to Lotoo?

I read on some older post in this thread that UAPP fills the remaining bits with 0's and the reason PAW S1 shows 32bit.
Operation is stable, only issue I found is that at the starting of a song it freezes like for 1sec (also report by other users on some posts).
Othe than that it sounds amazing!

I only find these when using UAPP. Using Sony Music Player it shows the right bit rate.

Same irregularities with Tidal native app regarding bit rate display on all platforms android and ios
I will test local files tonight...

If you are using Android' its in the Setting > Apps & Notifications. Then search for USB Audio Player Pro > App info > Advanced > Open by Default > Clear Defaults. This is only applicable if you set UAPP an Default Player every time you connected your DAC/AMP to your phone, that you unable to allow Music Center to access PAW-S1.
