One thing I love about the newest Poweramp Alpha is being able to adjust the number of volume levels on the V10. Technically the V10 has 75 volume steps with the hifi DAC out of the box, which is good, but the physical volume buttons only move it in increments of 5, so it's really only 15 steps unless you turn on the screen and move the slider. But now Poweramp lets you set the number of volume levels up to 100, and each increment works with the volume buttons! No need to turn on the screen! This sounds small but it solves one of my only big annoyances with the phone. 

Poweramp sounds great too, and the sound is very adjustable if you're a tinkerer 

Cool

Not sure but when I upgraded to build 702 it detected I had already paid for the unlocker. You should know for sure right after you install it.

 

Don't see it on the playstore. Where do I get it?

Recommend enabling the SoX resampler and turning on Hi-Res output for the wired headset (just be sure to touch on the settings next to Wired Headset/AUX and check "No Headroom Gain").

Nice! It carried over. No need to buy it again

  But why they are selling it here in Canada:

Thanks for the link. I will order DAC module from them and try it on Canadian model and report back

It can also be found on eBay too.....and for this price ? I guess, give it a bit more, and you can find a much better standalone DAC/amp

Seems like this is two different versions my link is AD-1200 (European version like the one you see on Clevo or Amazon Germany), while the one on ebay is Korean AD-1210. Also the price on the first link is Canadian dollars, so if you convert it to USD it's about 180$

Hey guys. I'm here to deliver some extremely sad news. While reading Android Authority (fairly reliable source) I noticed this part about his review of B&O dac:


So in short womp womp womp. Oh well there is always gigantic V10 I guess, or maybe International version of G5 or HTC10 or magical Chinese unicorn >< 

Android authority didn't get this 100% correct.

yeah, the new LG Tone Platinum will.  Sony H.ear On support LDAC, not sure about aptx HD

I had the original LG Tone headphones. They weren't anything special so I'm not over optimistic with the new ones. Really looking for over ear type. I'll probably try the LG ones though.

Can anyone comment on the headphone out volume and quality WITHOUT the dac amp ? I like the removable battery, but I dont like 2 headphone outs and that black bulk with the module...

The standard dac sounds pretty good, up there with the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge plus I have. And it's pretty loud more then enough for me, I am using the b&o h3 iem's that came with it. I will write a full review when my hifi plus module arrives. Should be Tuesday, should have a detailed review up within a week.

Then why don't people just buy S6 edge plus ? Why G5 and module instead ? ...hmmm. Thanks for the impression though

i might be going deaf, but i could barely hear the lg5 through the headphone out. according to this:
(http://www.phonearena.com/phones/LG-G5_id9819/benchmarks)
the s7 had headphone output of .707v (which i believe is slightly better than the s6 and the note 5); the g5's was .29, which is terrible. by  way of contrast the iphone 6s is .986 and i believe my htcm8 is 1.28. other than trying to sell the dac module, i just don't get lg's strategy here

Because the G5, with hifi plus along with a 200gb sd card and poweramp alpha will be awesome. This will be my dap, won't even have a sim inside.
