Best Smartphone for audiophile Part II (Updated: Jan 2020)
Question: i see in the gsmarena reviews, they always mention sound quality when an external amp is connected, and also when headphones are connected. But since most new smartphones don't have a headphine jack, what is it then that is being tested - the dac and amp in the usb dongle??- Amitl

I apologize in advance, i might have asked this question before. but i can't find it and the fact is, i'm still confused. So... is there a significant difference in sound quality between smartphones using *low impedance* in ear headphones? Thanks a lot- Amitl

I am familiar with that aptX list, you can notice many phones are not showing up there. Anyway, thanx :) So the LG G7 will have the quad dac as was announced today...too bad the battery is so small :S- Amitl

Are you saying that aptX comes built into some Snapdragon models? Because i gathered that having any specific Snapdragon doesn't guarantee also having aptX. Also, on the spec pages of gsmarena, aptX is mentioned only rarely. I would be very interested in reading your review of the honor 10...- Amitl

Problem with most of these phones is they don't suppot aptX. I'm waiting to hear about the Honor 10. Could the latest Meizu 15 support aptX?- Amitl
