Endgame. This is exactly as oOgenesisOo's review describe it : desktop-like performance in the pocket. To me , G5 is like having a portable DX7 Pro. You honestly don't need anything else if you own this , no DAP nor USB Dongle.

The main problem of dedicated device like DAP is that they are obsolete even before their announcement.

Tried the Bathys on a local shop (APTX). The first thing that bumped me was the bass , that make this Focal sounded to me like any other Bose & Sony ANC headphone , despite its separation quality and level of detail. When compared to the Listen Wireless, Bathys seems less neutral , i didn't...

If you like Listen Pro , try Hidizs S9 Pro :v:

There is tons of dongle beasting DragonFly Red lol

Xplay 5S Xplay 6 ... If you can find them.

Otherwise, since Oreo (Android 8), every Android device have LDAC. You can enable LDAC by going in developper options :

Indeed. Listen Pro sound tuning is quite unique as most headphones are tuned to match the Harman target curve , while the Listen Pro is more like listening to an artist in his studio ( Anechoic chamber). I will try :sweat_smile: Vivo ditched 3.5mm headphone jack , they are not focused...

What is a " good " DAP ?

It was irrelevant since day one.

Black style could be night theme ...

Yeah , it's desktop. Yes. Don't forget that USB dongle are just the audio segment in audio phone but deported outside. It's only a question of sound tuning and qualibration , regarding power consumption & size ... USB dongle can be very small , while still being powerful. It's possible , i...

I have 3 audio phones ( Meizu Pro 6 Plus , Xplay 5S & Xplay 6). I have 2 USB dongles ( S9 Pro & Link2 Bal ) & a Topping DX7 Pro. I have a Spirit Pro , Listen Pro & Elegia. While they sound awesome , i don't use Xplay 5S & 6 anymore. Mainly because of the UI. I use S9 Pro with Pro 6 Plus (plug...

You're correct. Vivo's latest phones don't have headphone jack anymore.

None. Get a USB dongle : https://andyaudiovault.com/donglemadness/

With 4G and even more 5G , you can now easily stream Hi-Res. So MQA is completely useless now.

After that , only missing a Tube dongle and the circle is complete.

You already have a DAP ( LG G8).

C'mon, we are not in 2002 anymore ... Notifications can be configured as you like , it's the main advantage of the Android plateform over iOS for example.

Me too. USB dongle and BT are the future.

Amazing work ! As you add many over tested items in the future, this should be a reference thread regarding USB DAC Dongles.

Or maybe it's yours ears that get used to the sound ? If not , why don't we see frequency response graph before and after that so call " burn in " ?

Decency start at 800 $ ??? Damn .... Regarding OP question , considering you already have an Iphone, which would be more future proof than any past , present and future DAP on the market (regarding streaming features , OS update... ) , i would go for a dongle if i were you. There is plenty of...
