I admit it's complex (and I haven't done a fresh install on a device in about a year) but it seems the default settings are pretty close. However it's a one and done scenario. Also if you get it to where you're really happy with it, you can transfer those few settings that need changing over to a new device easily. Not sure how Hiby compares so I can't comment on that. I have to say I'm not a "bit-perfect snob" if there is such a thing. I listen about 98% in my stereo room and 2% headphones. While I do feed bit-perfect into my Gustard U18 DDC and X26 lll dac (both connected to their C18 clock) I do disable non oversampling and let the dac work its magic. It helps noticeably with 44.1/16 but it's debatable if it helps with hi-rez tracks. At any rate it doesn't seem to hurt so I've been using that setting for everything because I got tired of changing back and forth all the time
Bit-perfect means it bypasses the android sound server. It has nothing to do with marketing. Whether or not it sounds better isn't the point, it is to avoid the music being resampled before the DAC.
You felt the need to respond, but you clearly misunderstood my message. Now that (almost) all DAPs bypass Android's SRC, the HiRes Direct driver is no longer an argument for using UAPP. Some vendors even license/use this specific driver for their DAPs. And as for bit perfect: apart from the fact that some people don't know what this means in the context of UAPP, I'm having a great time reading all the nonsense about (the need for) this setting (and the perceived impact on sound quality). But hey...feel free to disagree.
Bypassing the limits of Android
When connecting an Android phone or tablet to a USB DAC, USB Audio Player PRO will unleash the full power of the DAC, by using our custom developed USB audio driver. This bypasses the Android audio system completely, meaning that Android's limitations regarding bit resolution and sample rate (16-bit/48kHz) are made irrelevant and high quality audio streams are fed directly to the DAC, making playback up to 32-bit at 384kHz possible (depending on the DAC capabilities) or even DSD.
This may no longer be the case with newer android versions (from 14 onwards) but it certainly was the case and still remains so on the android devices I use with UAPP

am trying to buy the para eq but google giving me the stupid gotta be in UK to use gift card balance even though account is set to UK and I am in UK not on vpn.
not related to uapp but thought I would moan lol
You seem to be alone on an island regarding this subject. Reminds me (a little) of the guy who tells a psychiatrist "I'm not crazy, everyone else is" but if it works for you keep doing it. If you really want to stir the pot tell everyone how MQA has been a game changer
A troll, really? All those factless claims about UAPP and bit perfect and you're calling me a troll? Anyway, I'm using a DX340 with the native Qobuz app, fully optimized for low latency performance. You can find my DX340 specific code here . With years of experience in tuning/tweaking Linux-kernel based streaming devices and hundreds of users, I think I have the right to say what I want, and - more importantly - know.
And yes, I still use UAPP on my Z-Fold6, not for sound quality, but because I have access to all my music sources through it. But as long as it requires Google Play Store/Services to run in the background...I would never use it on a DAP. Low latency has a much bigger impact on sound-quality than a questionable bit-perfect switch.
Btw, in response to someone else's comment: music apps can play up to 192 kHz on my Z-Fold6 (Android 15), without SRC.
