Looking so good in that red. Be sure to tell us how it sounds if you go for it

Yes, the G6 will then very much be like the Japanese V34 Isai Beat, but perhaps even better.     The rumoured 5.7 inch screen is 1440 x 2880 pixels so that would equal a 5.2 inch screen of the old 1440 x 2560 ratio. So it could very well be a couple of millimeters smaller than the G5.   I...

  That will be interesting.   According to GSMArena, the quad DAC in G6 will be an upgraded version of V20:s:       http://www.gsmarena.com/the_lg_g6_will_have_an_upgraded_quad_dac-news-23373.php

Yeah xplay6 is a tempting gadget. Right now I'm leaning towards Ibasso dx200 or the new onkyo smartphone. We'll see when :moneybag: flies in :wink:

In which areas, soundwise, would you say DX200 is an upgrade over DX90?   I love the voicing of DX90 and maybe it's time to upgrade...

Yep, that's probably the EU regulations putting a software limit to volume. My Axon 7 basically goes as high as I need, but not more. With US firmware I've heard it can go crazy loud.

Wow, finally someone with first hand impressions of Gigaset ME Pro. Please keep us updated gugman.

I haven't heard the HTC 10 but I doubt it can compete with the Mojo or surpass LG V20 (though YMMV).   However, reading the specs of Snapdragon 835 makes me think that what you need for good sound is not really a better DAC but a top notch amplification stage:   "Qualcomm Aqstic™ WCD9341...

Does the HTC 10 have op amps or some amplification stage?

Still, I love the form-factor and that Onkyo makes a move into the phone market.   I Hope it's successful so Onkyo continues on this path. Then perhaps we will see smartphones from other audio companies in the future  

Onkyo is a small company compared to Vivo, ZTE and others who fork out every new model in tens of millions. They can't compete prize-wize with those companies.   I think 820 dollars is a fair price for a japanese high end DAP with full smartphone capabilities.

"Audio output has excellent loudness, very good clarity ..."   GSMArena has tested the Meizu Pro 6 Plus   http://www.gsmarena.com/meizu_pro_6_plus-review-1551p6.php

I saw that alcatel Idol 4s now is coming with Windows 10. The Idol 4s seems a nice audio phone. But what would the advantages/limitations be on Windows 10?

More Onkyo DP-CMX1 from a russian site:   https://translate.google.se/translate?hl=sv&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fmobiltelefon.ru%2Fpost_1477330833.html   Site claims Japan price will be ~80 000 Yen.

  Yes, and their optimized for listening at a distance of 30+ cm. I think most phones will fail the noise test when you listen with your ear against the transducer. Especially the louder ones.

If I put my ear to my Axon 7's speaker I can hear pretty much noise on low volume. So not only x900.

Try to get the plate to 50-55 degrees Celsius, it should take around 60-90 seconds. Batteries I don't know...

If the back plate is fixed via adhesives it should be possible to do that. I have used a hair-dryer to soften ahesive tapes a couple of times.   But please be careful!  

As I understand it you get higher voltage but not necessarily more "juice" in high gain mode on V10/V20. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hey,   Good your happy with you Axon 7. I like mine too despite its software limiltations.   Unfortunately ZTE has limited the volume and disabled output higher than 16bit/48K. For the moment this can only be fixed if you root your phone and edit the audio settings yourself.

Thanks for your help but that guide doesn't work for the European model.

€100 or sek1000 to anyone who can root my ZTE axon 7. Preferably in the Stockholm area or Sweden. I just cannot do it myself :open_mouth:

Nice, I wait to hear what you think about the Gigaset Pro. I like the Gigaset ME form factor and 5'' FHD screen.

  Hi, have you considered rooting your device? My experience from ZTE:s Axon Mini and Axon 7 is that their sound is heavily tuned and output limited, and I have read similar report from owner of Nubia Z11.   I am waiting for a simple way root my Axon 7. When that is availible I will try to...

Meanwhile, I wonder if LG V20S won't actually come as LG G6..?   The G6 is rumoured to have 32/192 capability.   http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g6-8466.php     edit: I just saw that LG V34 (LG 20S) has a 5.2" screen while the G6 is supposed to have a 5.3" screen, so I might be wrong.
