Don't know about you, but I have found that the recent firmware bring significant sound quality improvements and, ever more obvious, an output power increase, especially on the balance port. Pairing with PM-3 is simply fantastic now. 
Playing Tidal off SD card still has some glitches every now and then but I can live with that. Still exploring to find out what else in new after the upgrade.

Second that on SQ improvement, Using my Heir 10.0 in Low 2 gets me the cleanest sound ever

Thanks. That's also my feeling when I was listening to Fleetwood Mac Rumours album, this morning.

I'm amazed that there has been a huge difference in sound quality (whatever that means) with the following updates:
 
1. Enhanced Android system security.
2. Enhanced read SD card stability.
3. Enhanced the LCD panel brightness adjustment.
4. Added the new item in “Gain setting”.
 
Who knew that Android security patches could have such an obvious effect on the way the devices produces audio.

Well, the whole mistery might be explained by #4. Some 7% power increase according to my guestimate and that could easily explain perceived sound quality improvements.

Well, I would say at least, sound quality isn't decreased.
