No comment on the stock app, since I use UAPP. Having said that: UAPP works perfectly with 9.

Camera app > settings > toggle sound off. (some locations require camera noise by law, though) Battery life seems fine: from 100% at 7am to 91% at 10 to 6pm. Very light usage today.

In case anyone wanted to know: I got my update to Android 9.0 (Pie) on my V40 today. USA - Verizon

Are there some upgraded audio features in 9.0?

The Dragonfly does not have its own power. It uses what is available over the USB connection. So, if you plug one into your phone, it'll be running off of the phones battery.

Tried it with mine, but it doesn't seem to work over wired USB. If you were intent on getting something, you could probably set the phone up as a Bluetooth device and steam audio to it. But that would be compressed/lossy. Seems to me that would defeat the purpose. A quick prayer to the...

There was an earlier question regarding whether or not the V40 has an FM Radio: There is no app (on Verizon, anyways), but for sure this version of the phone has an FM chip in it. I installed NextRadio, and when I started the app, it said "Lucky You! Your Device has FM enabled so you can...

(USA, Verizon) My unit seems to be working fine - Driving a pair of 250 Ohm Beyers very well. As expected, given the 50 Ohm switch from single to quad, the results with KEF M500s and Oppo PM3 aren't as impressive, but I can still tell the difference when switching the DAC on and off. I...

<VERY long time, no post...> I just got mine, and spent some time digging around before I figured out I had to activate the DAC in the settings before it would come on: Settings > Sound > Sound Quality and Effects, and toggle the High Quality DAC switch. Once done, the phone auto detects the...

  Balanced Inputs - my source (the Oppo) has balanced outputs, which I want to take advantage of.  :)     I will definitely check this out :D   Thanks Guys!

Heya guys - I'm in the market for a new amplifier.  Budget is in the vicinity of US $1,500.00   Made the choice to go with Amplification first.   Better headphones will follow as finances allow.     SOURCE:  OPPO BDP 105 (has balanced outputs, and an excellent DAC)   Current...

From the manual of my Oppo 105, for comparison purposes:   600 Ohms - 17mw 300 Ohms - 34mw 150 Ohms - 63mw 120 Ohms - 77mw 60 Ohms - 120mw 30 Ohms - 187mw    - Be reminded that a 3db increase in sound pressure requires a doubling of power.     As pointed out above - It'll...
