Philips A5-PRO "Armin Van Buuren Collaboration" (Owners and impressions)
Gonna buy the cable now for sure lol. I also noted the thickness difference, im hoping i can perhaps make it less thicker by slicing the foam to 20mm if there is a sound difference. Unfortunately this is as cheap as it can get for sheepskin earpads as most ebay sellers are selling them above...- GouryellaIV

Philips A5-PRO "Armin Van Buuren Collaboration" (Owners and impressions)
Just bought these sheepskin earpads on aliexpress for 15 CAD, pretty cheap, better than those protein ones since they peel off just like the stock ones. Mine are absolutely destroyed... Anyone who bought those angled Vention 3.5mm cable, are they still working? are they durable??- GouryellaIV

Best Smartphone for audiophile
Samsung is not really known as a hifi smartphone brand, they rarely integrate dedicated audio chips to their phones, its only the Galaxy S7 Exynos out of all their phones that has a dedicated audio chip which is a Cirrus Logic one. You would want to take a look to Vivo, ZTE and Meizu, they often...- GouryellaIV

Most likely they will stick to the Qualcomm Aqsitc, or they might integrate a Cirrus Logic DAC- GouryellaIV

Best Smartphone for audiophile
Even if its a discrete DAC (of which it could be the still WCD9335 of which Qualcomm themselves said so) that still doesnt make the phone have dedicated audio chips. "But here is where Qualcomm is making a meaningful difference as the HTC 10 does not actually include a third-party DAC...- GouryellaIV

Best Smartphone for audiophile
I would get V20 spec wise, better storage and battery life, and as well audio wise. You could get Vivo Xplay 6 for a $100 more but thats up to you. HTC 10 is a bit cheaper than the V20, it has great audio but i prefer V20 purely for its specifications. HTC 10 doesnt have a dedicated audio...- GouryellaIV

ZTE Nubia Z11 is using the Asahi Kasei Microdevices AK4376 chip. i'ts the same one being used in the Vivo X7 and X9 Plus. it is indeed a dedicated audio chip, so it should be better than the average Qualcomm DAC. Buy it and review it for us- GouryellaIV
