Please help!

I have just purchased a pair of focal bathys (upgraded from B&W px8) and have started to delve into their DAC mode.

I had a pixel 9 pro xl I used them with and they were quite loud, just not as loud as the px8s were but I put that down to focal opting for decreased volume to achieve greater clarity.

Then I upgraded my phone to a razr 60 ultra. All of a sudden they were VERY quiet! I tried changing all kinds of options in the Bluetooth developer settings for only a slight bump in volume and that's when I started looking into what I can do in DAC mode.

I have since started using usb audio player pro and played with morphit, parametric eq and bit perfect mode but I can't quite settle on a sound I really like, one that truly shows why the bathys are so expensive.

Can anyone please help me with some suggestions, maybe a different app gives better results (I use usb audio player alongside tidal), or there are certain eq adjustments I can make that really make the bathys sing?

What I want is crystal clear vocals with deep tight bass with no distortion from the audio while bringing the volume back to its original level, like it was on the pixel phone.

Thanks in advance!
