It works with iOS devices as they do bitperfect output via USB. Android sends all audio through the Android audio stack, so it all gets resample. So, the only way to get MQA on an Android device is through STREAMING through UAPP. That is how Android works, unfortunately

This.

What IEM/headphones do you use with S1 and will you consider buying the Luxury and Precision W2 for higher power output?

What about the bit rate info sorry? Mine says the ofs x4 too but the bit rate remains in 44.1 and 32b

Tidal Identified PAW S1 as MQA device.

S1 can decode MQA both software and hardware level. If you use passthrough MQA in Tidal desktop app it decode via hardware.

24bit 352.8khz MQA decoding via UAPP. Sorry for the poor quality image.

With iOS Tidal app S1 shows OFS/4X 44.1K/32b, on Mac Tidal app S1 shows MQA./4X but still only 44.1K/32b (Audio output S1, Passthrough MQA disable - i think full unfold made by S1 - this is right way?)
But iOS Tidal app haven’t option Passthrough MQA, what´s the right way to setup???

That was easy!!

Lotoo engineer told me that OFS 4X means 2X from software decoding, and 2X from hardware decoding.

I think this should effectively work the same as MQA 4X which is 4X hardware decoding?

Edit: OK got the follow-up answer that OSF 4X and MQA 4X both give the same output. The SQ should be the same so long as you see 4X. No need to worry.

TIDAL iOS APP (HI-FI), MASTER quality song
S1 before upgrading (1.0.0.7): PCM 88.2K/32b
S1 after upgrading (1.0.0.9): MQA 44.1K/32b, OSF/4X
Which one output is better??
