Do you even know how caching works instead of I see this and I see that?

You have to trade off a little bit. My vote for V20. The UI is still laggy a little bit, but it's acceptable especially if you're familiar with non Google original UI. HTC 10 is a little bit more fluid, nevertheless the SQ is in a same basket with V20, each to his own flavor. Beside V20 has...

I'm not sure about the SenseUI as its purely subjective. IMO from using HTC G1 Android since day 1, and later HTC devices, Sense is laggy as any other non Google original UI. It adds too much nonsense customizations hence sluggish. The bold part is what I want to emphasize. This isn't how...

Can you please elaborate more on LG software vs HTC software?

I've used HTC 10 for one day and agree it has good sound quality but compared to LG V10, the battery and software aren't better either, tho it's closer to ASOP.

With the same budget, why don't you consider v20?

820 is 2 times better performance than 650 according to AnTuTu benchmark. So it's far more future proof than 650. The heat and battery is only a problem when phone is put in intensive operation like 3D gaming. Contributing to audio quality might be better, as usability is concerned (lagging UI...

I can understand for their choice of 650, but id like to see a more future proof CPU, especially with Android. For now it's OK, but putting down 800 bucks for a phone which will be sluggish as new OS coming out is a bit deal breaker. Onkyo might never release updated OS for this phone, or you...

Specs looks dope except the CPU. Both the audio parts and smartphone parts are also promising.

Looks quite nice. Is that a Thoren TD?

Even with V10, I think there's no difference as well. DAPs are expensive not because of their SQ.

It's the problem with homebrew OS/FW. The guarantee of maintainance and long term support. Not so Luxury after all, eh?

80000 yen ~ $750, which is reasonably priced. However the battery and camera would be a deal breaker.

I have to suggest you go to sound science forum, especially this thread http://www.head-fi.org/t/570621/flac-vs-320-mp3/195 This topic has been beaten to death thousands times, and yet nobody could give proof or showed their ABX test to indicate their claims. None. Nada. Nothing. All they have...

Just for curiosity, what is the main reason for iBasso not burning in the devices so they can have best sound quality before shipping to consumers?
