ddHiFi TC44B - Tidal shows a DAC connection request, but if you agree then Tidal freezes.
I got this as well, I got the pop-up but Tidal would freeze if I accepted.
Workaround for me: start Tidal playing something (through the phone speaker) before you plug in the USB-C. Then with it actually playing, plug in the USB-C, it will pop up the request and then you can accept it, and it seems to click off and on and works OK.
EDIT: I spoke too soon, the above works on a "HiFi" track but Tidal then crashes if it gets to a "Master" track. It's not clear to me if it is actually getting sending bit-perfect after accepting either, I seem to still get Android switch on/off noises mixed in so seems to still be going through the mixer.
