May 28, 2019 at 2:45 AM Post #2,492 of 5,166
Hello,

I looking for a new phone.
I listen music at work with a xonar essence + shure se425
At home I listen with a xonar essence + Adam A3x
Last year, I've lost my ibasso dx90. I think I could'nt find a phone as good as an Ibasso but I'm looking for something neutral for the travels

Price range: 100-400 euros
IEM/ Headphone used: shure se425
Screen size: 4 to 5,5 inch smal smartphone will be great
What kind of sound you wanna get: precise, neutral, analystic. Close to a studio sound.
What kind of music you mainly listen: Orchestra, epic, sometime metal
Special request: an Ess technologie dac or one with neutral response. An original phone should be nice. Avoid apple.

I've found a Meizu pro 7 for 200 euros. Maybe a LG could be nice? Could you help me to find a neutral music phone?

Thanks

It is LG V30+ that will be suitable.

To those of you who has the vivo xplay6, do not update to the new software version( 71112).
Do you know where to download Android 8 for xPlay6 and to flash on the phone?

No you shouldnt do that. It is a hell lots of bugs.

Stay simple at android6 or 7 is the best.

Ok good to know thanks...

Guys, I am simply in love with this phone. Last time I had this feeling was with my MX4 Pro. I listen to music 2 hours every day on the go, but even at home, I tend to use the Xplay over my Concero...
Funtouch os is less sexy than Flyme to me, but it is more stable. The sound is amazing for a phone, truely.

Did anyone here listen to Sony's flagships (wm1z or wm1a) and compared them to the Xplay 6?

It's crazy: I am very happy with the Xplay 6, but since I have it, I am more and more tempted to go further soundwise

Good that you still have this phone. And I truely understand your feeling at all. (I sold it and need to buy it back at last ^^)

Sony wm1a and 1z is more limitless than xplay6 by far margin especially 4.4 balanced.

More black background more 3D more resolute and better vocal.

I think the maximum it can comparable is fiio x5iii /M11

What saddens me is that I suspect the Xplay 6 was the last Xplay produced by Vivo.

Do you prefer the DX200 over Sony's daps?

Yes. Sony dap is too bassy for me. Ibasso matches with my fitear 335 more.

I need Android 8 as I am going to use LDAC codec and it's only available in versions starting from 8th.
