It is me or everyone facing a strange thing, Tidal tracks sounding more crispier than same music that I have purchased before with Ztella. With other DACs their is no difference.

the difference would be subtle but it is there, even on mqa and non mqa tracks on tidal that are from the exact artist, like one is a single before they album it, and in the mqa album version it will sound different than singles

MQA sounds different and better.

just set up my ztella on my pc with tidal, MQA gives better sense of depth and soundstage compared to my UD-301 which cant do crack on MQA

Tested with Hibby music player and sounds very good better than neutron.

I try Mqa ztella with : Fearless S8f , BGVP dmg, EMU teaks , with tidal masters and UAPP . On my phone and laptop and always get a hissing sound when they're plugged in and no music is on. Any solution????

I think there is a good chance that yours could be defective. I asked about this before back on Kickstarter and they told there won't be any hiss even in high sensitive earphones.

I checked it with SE846, which known to have hiss with most of the DAC's don't any hiss whatsoever in Ztella

Seems like it, that is too bad. Luckily they have good service.

I got mine!!! It arrived today. I can believe how this little thing can sound as is.

My setup is Android 8.1 on Xiaomi mipad4 lte. UAPP as player and Soundmagic ,e80 earphones and AKG K240S headphones.

I have set up Tidal into UAPP and MQA files sounds in general at 96/24 resolution even though the audio file shows 192/24. Tidal put USB DAC 96 and the file with it own resolution. The DAC light is magenta. Is it normal?

Regarding sound quality, it sounds good.... Like Ztella would have some kind of reverb within which reflects in deeph.

magenta means mqa path, so its correct
