I also confirmed the implementation from ESS as they were the company designing the audio specifications for the LG V30- yklee118

There shouldn't be any confusion here. The diagram clearly displays the routing of the audio signal, DAC configuration, and HP/Line Output Amps. The ES9218p is a 32-bit Quad DAC SoC "System-on-Chip". When you disable the "HiFi Quad DAC", the audio signal is routed to the Snapdragon 835 SoC...- yklee118

Please look up the term "System-on-Chip" The ES9218p is a System-on-Chip. As shown on the diagram I provided in earlier posts, the entire SoC includes processing, Quad DAC, HP Amp, Power Management, etc.. Seriously start looking up the term System-on-Chip. If those whom ask this question...- yklee118

No need for confusion. The diagram link I provided should be quite clear as to how the QUAD DAC feature in the ES9218p SoC operates. The Quad DAC is essentially a System on Chip package, not that dissimilar to the Snapdragon SoC handling the processing functions of the LG V30. To be quite...- yklee118

When the "HiFi Quad DAC" is disabled, like the diagram I posted suggests, the Snapdragon CPU SoC handles the audio signal including MQA. Please view the diagram as it closely displays how each DAC operates. As I have stated, I confirm the operation of the ES9218P DAC SoC. The Quad DAC...- yklee118

Here are the list of headphones that I have listened to for nearly a day each through the LG V30 and with the USB Audio Player PRO. - HiFiMan Edition X Version-2 with 1.5m Arctic Cables with Cardas Cable upgrade - HiFiMan HE1Kv2 with LavriCables Reference Silver 1.5m upgrade. - HiFiMan Susvara...- yklee118

LG V30
The Tidal app doesn't quite deliver the sonic experience on the V30 that UAPP does. I say this because I had an opportunity to analyze the code and the HiRes Driver for UAPP versus Tidal. The Tidal app basically wrote a simple script to bypass Android's default parameters for the audio driver...- yklee118

Here is the clarification. And please don't inject anymore personality as I will remain as objective as possible. I am aware of the MQA capability of the Audioquest Dragonfly Red DAC. What I am stating is that when using the USB Audio Player PRO with the LG V30 without any additional hardware...- yklee118

I should be more clear. Or I think I was. A previous user for whom I was replying to was stating the equipment he had at the time. UAPP HiRes Driver was specifically tailored for the MQA integrated with the Snapdragon processor in concert with the ES9218 DAC, which could only be activated...- yklee118

The high resolution capability and full MQA is only available when the stereo minijack is used. By sending the digital signal to an external DAC, the internal ES9218 is bypassed hence the lowered resolution. There is no work around as the combination of the MQA hardware decoder and the ES9218...- yklee118

To activate MQA, you need to (in UAPP) go to Settings. Tap on the "Internal Audio Driver" and set it to the HiRes Direct Driver. Tap the Back arrow and click on the HiRes Audio menu and then tap on HiRes driver flags. Make sure that the checkbox for MQA V30 is checked. Tap the Back icon and...- yklee118

You would need to configure the Hi-Res Driver and select the "MQA (for LG V30)" flag/check box. Restart the player by exiting completely from the application. It should work after restarting the UAPP application.- yklee118

The Internal Qualcomm SoC doesn't have the ability to natively decode DSD. To activate the dedicated DAC, the headphone jack must have something such as a headphone or line out cable to function. The dedicated DAC is designed to be with the 3.5mm headphone out. It serves no other purpose if...- yklee118

Good evening. Since creating my own blog site about all thing audio, I haven't been really participating on this board.

IBasso DX50 vs Fiio X3 comparison thread
To answer the original posting about the Q701. The X3 delivers more than enough power reserve to drive the Q701 as it does with the K701 and K702.

HD380 vs. HD280
I think this would qualify as a very late reply. I own both the Sennheiser HD280-Professional (since 2001) and the Sennheiser HD380-Pro. I can tel you both are different in the sonic delivery. Both require extensive burn-in before they sound their best. If one is seeking an expansive...- yklee118
