There is no inherent difference in quality between DoP and Native DSD. They are merely different structural containers for exactly the same data. Any issue is an implementation bug in one of the two... (in case it matters; I master music for a living, some in DSD, and consult to a DSD/DXD...

There is hardly a more trivial and transparent process than padding a 16 bit audio sample into a 24-bit pipeline. It's a non-issue, really. As to why LG is stuck with 16-48K and don't take advantage of the capabilities of the ESS chip-set? Consider that (at least) two entirely different teams...

I've heard rumours that Android V8 is in the hands of Korean testers at this time. Would be nice to know if that's actually a fact... Regarding the V30 CPU: "MSM8998 Mobile Processor With an advanced 10-nanometer design and a 64-bit octa-core Qualcomm® Kryo™ 280 CPU based on ARM Cortex...

Regarding your comment in the 'DSD Spoiler': UAPP has supported SACD_ISO playback for a while now, both locally and over a network. Thanks for your (and others') work to bring light to the V30 HiFi DAC...it's been very helpful. (I'm using Neutron while I not-very-patiently await the new version...
