As an LG V-series enthusiast, I'm more than happy to answer questions. Thanks for pointing out the FM radio, I didn't know that, as I only care about hi-res audio. Someone said that the Korean version is tuned different. I wholeheartedly agree, the difference is huge. I didn't like the US...

Does anybody know if the EU versions of LG are worse, audio-wise? I know the EU versions have lower volume and I fear getting an inferior device. G710EAW 128/6 (HKG, SGP, AU, EU) is what I intend to get, it also has Android 10 which the US unlocked version ULM does not have. My second questions...

You mention the Sabre glare and clinical sound. Absolutely no hint of them in LG V10. It is so warm, wide, detailed and musical, something between CS and AKM, as it is similar to the Jcally AP7, but way superior. V20 and G7 and V60 have newer chips and sound inferior to V10 in almost every way...

Thanks! How does it compare to the more expensive siblings, and to the LG? Sabre DAC has trucks of detail, so the LG might be more resolving?

Thanks! Did somebody compare it to the famous audiophile phones from LG, HTC? I know Vivo makes phones with CS DAC.

I only have HD 599 SE and the cheapest $ 15 balanced 4.4mm silver plated cable from AliExpress... isn't 9200 overkill for portable use? I don't know if it's the cable, but I don't like the sound from xDuoo Link2 Bal via 4.4mm...too forward and pushes most of the music way far back, like a...

I am eager to get a good DAP. Having LG V10 / V20 / G7...they all annihilated and destroyed Sony NW-A55 with Mr. Walkman`s mod. Focal Listen Pro is incredibly detailed with sparkling treble and bags of detail and separation. Maybe I should get something better as headphones? Denon 9200 was the...

Hi, guys! As you known I own at least 3 of each: HTC 10, LG V10/V20/G7. I did not like the sound from xDuoo Link 2 Bal dongle. UAPP says it is not compatible and refuses to play it, although under Windows, WASAPI and Foobar2000 bring great results. The JCALLY AP7 is said to be the same as 7Hz...

+1 for XPeria 10 III. Its display is much more forgiving to the eyes, compared to 10 IV. Sound wise, it is pathetic, but UAPP does sound better than Poweramp. The Notebookcheck review gives plenty of info, as well as how to achieve perfect white balance. Its display destroys any Scamsung, not to...

Yes, thanks, everyone. I tried the 7hz and some good chap told me it's the same as Jcally AP7, which costs 30 dollars but has a removable cable and I bought it. The 7hz is beautiful built and incredibly light. A joy to use on the go. And me, I'm all about functioning, so I'd carry a literal...

Right now, a refurbished, looks absolutely new, LG v20 costs 70 dollars on AliExpress. I'm amazed at the screen, fluidity of work and the polished software. I bought 4. So yes, I'm happy to own one as my daily driver. The Xperia 10 iii has an amazing, calibrated oled, and the difference between...

Thanks! So the quad DAC holds it's own and rivals the RU7? I guess it won't be a real upgrade then, no WOW factor...and it's also not a cheap dongle.

Can anyone elaborate on how does the RU7 compare to LG QUAD DAC? I need a higher end dongle. As my Xduoo link 2 bal is no match for LG QUAD DAC. I was thinking of getting the Huawei Y91 with modern Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 4G (6 nm) and an absurd 7 Ah battery. (Does it compensate your d*ck like a...

Thanks. But I didn't find any Vivo NEX S on eBay not on AliExpress. I tried searching for Ultimate or Special edition, which are it's other names... And I didn't like the demo of uapp. Not in the slightest on my LG G7.

Thanks! Do you mean the digital sounding CS signature, with fake analog sound and polished edges? I find it thin and boring. Soundstage is also narrow. I've heard Ibasso DC03 Pro and Xduoo Link 2 Bal. Both are no match for any LG I own. The Ibasso cannot even best HTC 10.

No, but I tested the previous one, Xperia 1 IV. It's such a joke, like the Xperia 10 iii, that's not even worth mentioning.The 10 IV is considerably better, although no match for HTC 10, let alone the 🏆 LG V10. By the way, Nihon has discontinued their V10 battery. It was proved to be the best...

Six full charges and 4006 mAh. Quite an achievement, rare for any removable battery on the market. It's heavy and sturdy, without preventing back lid closure.

Trust measurements more than anything. The Perfine 4.1 Ah took about 20 Wh to fully charge (that means at least one hour after hitting 100%). That's significantly more than anything the original 3.2 Ah one can achieve. Not to mention how many original batteries for the v10 had below 40% actual...

Bigger battery Even bigger

Perfine store from AliExpress. After 5 full charge and discharge cycles, they really show 4100 mAh! I couldn't believe it. I bought 10 of them. I haven't bought the extended one. It turns the phone in a brick and lasts for 3 days, so I have read over forums. Not to mention the absolutely new V20...

I got a decent deal on XPERIA 10 III. The red-pink colour is unavailable for the next two versions, and PWM is above 61%. Xperia 10 IV & V have low PWM at all brightness levels. I waited for Notebookcheck for so long to review the latest version...I checked so many times...Good thing is they...

Not only that... Since nobody elaborated on why the Korean V20 is tuned differently than the US and A version (yes, Borat), I purchased a refurbished or brand new one from Top CPE store on AliExpress for $ 87. I chose the pink, since I didn't like the black version and silver isn't my thing. It...

I couldn't believe it... Being angry and losing sleep may get you a deal. I browsed the classifieds in town and I found someone selling an Kranich 9.7 Ah battery with back cover....for 10 EUR, within walking distance from home. He said he used it for six months and laughed at my old V10. I told...

In Europe, there are still new Xperia 10 III phones, for about 250 EUR and 24 months warranty. I like that the display flickers at 61% and below, unlike the Xperia 10 IV that flickers at all brightness settings. Can somebody comment on the audio and the phone itself, please? Plus, it has better...

I tried the US version of LG V20 and audio was disappointing. It was clearly inferior to V10 and G7. I remember someone saying that the Koren version is tuned differently. Could anyone please give more insight? I might get one. I am reluctant to splurge for the Cayin RU7, since portable audio...
