Yes the Sabre DAC is used even in Normal Audio mode, i can vouch for that because i heard the Snapdragon Sound of the "Standard G6" and it sounded completely different. Less neutral, less clear but with a wider stage.

@OctavianH Yes, if you want to use the full potential of your DAC then there is no way except using HiFi mode (also known as High Impedance mode). It will surely drain your battery faster because the amp is driven harder for your HD600. @cardeli22 According to a LG Technician who did an...

I guess so.

Well i was exagerrating with -16 DB but thats basically how it sounds to me. Power is not a problem, i tried High Gain mode and Normal Audio mode. This is just how the Sound signature is, people prefer the V20 sound and every G6 review says the same. Its way beyond neutral. Which doesn't make it...

Sure but it still lacks dynamics and stage. This is something that every music lover wants, im able to differentiate between my own taste and Audiophile Reference. And imho the G6 just sounds ... well not neutral, its way under neutral, its more like plain boring because everything is turned...

Well i also got a sample from Zorloo. I intendet to get a European LG G6 with a "Standard" built in DAC which doesn't sound any special. But then my OCD got triggered and i bought the Asian version which has a Quad DAC (ESS 9018+). Its a upgraded version of the LG V20's Quad DAC but people say...

Well i also have the LG G6 Quad DAC and i can tell you that none of my Earphones sound good. The DAC is very clear and precise, but lacks dynamics, and reading this thread i also noticed a few people saying the same. The Sound character of the DAC is extremely neutral, not just a bit neutral...

No im talking about the Export Version of the LG G6 which has Dual Sim, 64 GB and the upgraded Sabre Quad DAC from the V20 (ESS 9218 "+"). Model name : H870DS. I will try my USB Dac and see if the audio improves.

Well there are Soundmagic E80's which have 64 Ohm, and don't ask me how this is possible with the DAC, but i can feel when the DAC opens his full potential.

Nah, i really want above 50 Ohms, my OCD can't handle that. Edit : The 1MORE got really good reviews. How does the Bass handle, is it something for me as a basslover?. I could buy a high quality impedance adapter to still get into High Impedance mode. I read that only One DAC is working in...

Well i bought the LG G6 with the Quad DAC. I'm currently using Soundmagic EC10s which sound just boring and non alive. They are loud, but the Bass is completely lacking as well as a wide stage. My DT 990 Pros are beautifull combined with the G6. The DAC does only trigger with Headphones over...

Well i ordered the EU Version of the G6 but then i got a bit worried about my OCD not having the perfect phone, that i cancelled my Order and bought the Aussie/HK/Rus G6 with Quad DAC. Well the biggest problem is that i only use In Ears when listenting to music on my phone. I tried my 990 LE's...

Hey Guys, i got a LG G6 non Quad DAC and want to have a really good Quality. The Zuperdac for example uses the same Sabre 9018 Chip as the LG V10. Would the G6 with Zuperdac sound as good as the V10? I know it wont be as good as the Quad DAC, but how big would be the difference between non DAC...

Hey, I just registered Here because I'd like to know what sou guys Think about the European Version of the G6. How does the Sound Compare to the S8 or AXXON 7 for example? I Really would like the DAC version, but its insanely expensive to import. And i got a real good Deal with a contract for...
