    Best Smartphone for audiophile Part II (Updated: Jan 2020)

    Can someone explain me one thing please, just out of interest. Why does a DAC (in my case the B&O dac from LG) does sound different depending on what device you connect it to? When i connect it to a phone for example, it sounds just good, but when connected to a PC, it sounds absolutely...

    Best Smartphone for audiophile Part II (Updated: Jan 2020)

    Hi, i can`t really fully help you as maybe one external dac will behave different than another and different android versions will probably do their thing, but i remember having your problems when connecting the LG G5 dac to some phone with android 7. It would refuse to play and i had to use...

    Best Smartphone for audiophile Part II (Updated: Jan 2020)

    I have both the Xz premium and the HTC10 here. When i bought the Premium, i still had the V20 and had the chance to compare them. First things first: The sound is very good. BUT: You have to root it and do this...

    Yes, i`ve had all mentioned devices and the X3II. This is why i mentioned only the pro 5 and pro 6 plus out of the meizu`s, didn`t own any other.

    Hi, for 130 bucks of course it`s good, but i was wondering why these phones are recommended when people ask for phones in the 200€+ range. What does TOTL stand for?

    Xiaomi Mi Note/Pro has a similiar soundprint as the X3II, but the X3II has a wider soundstage and much cleaner sound, especially at high volume. That phone is old and not worth buying for the sound or for anything else. Same goes for Meizu pro 5/Pro 6. I also don`t understand why anyone would...

    I also heard a lot about issues with the V20, but from my experience with both phones (had the 6p for about 7 months last year and the v20 for ca. 6 months until i sold it a few days ago), i would replace the 6p with the V20 without even thinking about it. It is better in everything except the...

    Did someone here try an Xperia xz premium? I`m quite surprised by the sound quality. The stock volume is too low, but after rooting it and editing the mixer paths file to make it louder, that thing sounds gorgeous. I compared it with my V20 (B&O tuned) and with the B&O Hifi plus module, and...

    Hi friends, i just wanted to give a quick tip: If your smartphone sounds crappy and you don`t want to spend a lot of money, get an LG Hi-fi plus from ebay or something (it`s dirt cheap) and be happy. I have an LG V20 with B&O logo and just bought an xperia xz premium to replace it. Phone is...

    There is no need to buy an adapter if your low impdendance headphones have remote control buttons. You just hold the play button (the one that toggles OK google) on the headphones while connecting them to the phone and then release immediately after connecting. You need a little bit of the right...

    According to Pocketnow`s audio review, the Oneplus 3T has surprisingly good audio performance, and in contrary to most other reviewers, they know what they`re talking about when it comes to audio. Huawei is generally no good choice when you`re looking for good sound. They all have very weak...

    Where did you guys order the Xplay 6 and how much did you pay?

    Best Smartphone for audiophile

    The FIIO devices have excellent audio quality. I can`t speak about the X5 2gen, but the X3 II and the first X5 do sound better than most smartphones, and yes, better than the LG V10. They are also both better sounding than the X900, which should be comparable to the X800. The sound is louder...

    Best Smartphone for audiophile

    Nubia is overpriced crap with nice design. The Z11 sounds worse than many phones without any dedicated sound setup, it has tons of annoying software problems, their updates are completly useless and the camera also sucks. Also, despite the 6gb of ram, that phone lags like a snapdragon 810...

    Best Smartphone for audiophile

    I bought from a private Seller. It`s the Gold version and the Phone is just 3 weeks old in new condition, so it was luck. But there are sites that sell it for a reasonable price, this one for example: http://www.grossoshop.net/index.php?route=product/search&search=meizu pro 6 plus They even...

    For those who are interested in bigger Phones: I got the Meizu Pro 6 plus 2 days ago and so far, i really love it. The Audio Quality is good -compared to the HTC10 it`s a little bit colder and not as full and i`d say the HTC1o is still a tad better overall, especially with very loud volume...

    Review on HtC 10 and Sound quality (AQstic Dedicated Integrated DAC)

    You shouldn`t give too much about the DXOmark ratings, they`re very weird and many people are complaining rightfully about their nonsense. Maybe by their methods it`s ok, but it`s another story when you compare those phones in real life. As i have gone through tons of phones in my never ending...

    Review on HtC 10 and Sound quality (AQstic Dedicated Integrated DAC)

    Could be wrong on the camera. I just never saw a Sony phone with a decent camera in comparison with other flagships and considering the price they charge (Had the Z2, Z3 and Z5 for a few months each), so my bias was speaking. Maybe it`s different with the X, but yeah, the 10 is a much better choice.

    Review on HtC 10 and Sound quality (AQstic Dedicated Integrated DAC)

    Yeah, i don`t know what they were thinking. I`m hoping that the G5 will somehow affect the processing like my PC apparently does, we`ll see. For that price it`s still superb. My PC sounded like crap anyway, but as i said my hope was to buy it for never worrying about smartphone audio again. The...

    Review on HtC 10 and Sound quality (AQstic Dedicated Integrated DAC)

    The Xperia X has a Snapdragon 650, so it won`t be the fastest. The camera will also probably be crappy, as with all Sony devices. The camera on the 10 is not great either though (blurry edges, weird things when using manual iso and low shutter speed at night, focus problems here and there, bad...

    Review on HtC 10 and Sound quality (AQstic Dedicated Integrated DAC)

    Oh, and to answer your question about the setup after restarting windows: Well today i didn`t have to do it, don`t ask me why. It saved all settings all of a sudden. I know all this sounds weird, but really don`t understand this device yet.

    Review on HtC 10 and Sound quality (AQstic Dedicated Integrated DAC)

    After listening more to it, yeah, i`m absolutely sure. That thing sounds fantastic to be honest and yes, better than the HTC10. It`s not a super big difference, but it has better separation, the Bass is more controlled without being less and the soundstage is a tad wider. The difference is...

    Has someone tried the LG HiFi Plus?

    UPDATE: The above post is wrong, but i`ll leave it so people understand what i`m talking about, so here is the explanation: It did sound bad and distorted because it wasn`t set up properly. I thought that everything will work after just installing the drivers, but turned out that i had to go...

    I removed the original post because what i said turned out to be completly wrong. It did sound bad and distorted because it wasn`t set up properly.

    Review on HtC 10 and Sound quality (AQstic Dedicated Integrated DAC)

    How do you enable hi-res in jetaudio, i can`t find any option? The 24bit audio in Poweramp seems to be giving the best Audio output on this device, but the constant fails are extremly annoying.
