Article: An Audiophile Switches From iOS to Android
chjan replied to The Computer Audiophile's topic in Article Comments
I purchased one new, then several used LG v10. As its newer brother lg v20 this is a true hifi phone. Read the spec and see the fantastic DAC and headamp section. The sound is amazing and will dance backwards around my son's iPhone of latest model. It drives Focal Elear as if it was destiny, not to mention Audiofly AF1120 and Shure SE846 (which are other models used in the family) I use one phone as my traditional multipurpose portable smartphone and the 2 others as wireless DACs in a Roon multiroom setup. I repeat: It is a wireless audiophile grade hifi DAC (not on the grid, even!). It is amazing that these hifi phones are not on everybody's lips, so let me give that as a suggestion to ComputerAudiophile: Write a long article on these emerging phones and help bring awareness. It is much more fun when we are crowd. I wrote a blog on this here: http://www.noach.one/blog/lg-v10-the-smartphone-prodigy/ -

Comparing Dragonfly black to red, red (with 9016 ess sabre DAC), wins. Comparing LG V10 (with the newer 9018 ess sabre DAC + a companion analog headphone amplifier), then LG V10 wins with a margin on a pair of Focal Elear, and on various speakers. This High Fidelity PRODIGY of a smartphone is just something very special for audiophiles. In addition to offering true hifi on headphones, it is also a wireless HighRes DAC when connected to a preamplifier, and it automatically detects an AUX input and adjust to input impedance etc. Anyone here that had the chance to compare LG V10 and V20?
