Is It possible to listen to youtube videos using the dac chip with Meizu smartphones? There are some great rare albuns in youtube. Lg V10 had a program to allow other apps to use the dac.

Beware, the last Meizu Pro (after Pro 5) don't have microSD slots anymore... (a pity if you intend to stock Hi Res music on the phone).

Too bad indeed, especially when they sell brand new Pro 6 Plus at 200€ to finish stocks...
I believe meizu is using cirrus logic chips with their newer models which if i am not wrong is the same dac which samsung is using on their galaxy s8.
I recently got s8 (exynos version) after returning my faulty v30. From what i am hearing with my galaxy s8, the cirrus logic chip has a really good quality amp which provides near black background and almost no noise can be heard with my flc8s which i can't say for my le max x900 which is using allegedly superior ess dac and amp.
Now comes the main part which is cirrus logis dac and i have no hesitation to say that it can't hold a candle against ess sabre dac. The highs are nowhere as detailed and extended while there is too much mid bass bloat that is shadowing vocals. The sub bass is nice though which is only good thing about it's dac.
I know tuning can be different with the same chips meizu is using bit still their warm signature can't satisy my audiophile ears tbh.

Pro 5 and Pro 6 Plus use the same ESS dac.

Finally i got bored with my VIVO X6 Plus. Somehow I was not satisfied with its Hi-Fi sound anymore despite its 9028 DAC (which should have been better than 9018, right?). Amplifier 9603 is a bit weak, IMHO. Moreover, there is no Hi-Fi support for 3rd party apps, so I'm tied to stock player only, which does not have access to worldwide online music (everything is reported as "removed due to copyright", except some Chinese whatnot ).
Also 5.7 is a bit too much for having it in the pocket. And I don't like AMOLED screen - i was unable to get used to it
So i've bought a used Lenovo Vibe X3 64GB and happy with it now. It has wide support of players, good amplifiers.

Enjoy your vibe x3. It's a great device and i miss mine time to time because of its awesome stereo speakers.

With vibe x3 only stock player are capable of using the saber dac with proper sampling rates. According to logs there is not a single third party app that can take full control over the saber dac and sampling rates, you will only get 48khz signal to the saber dac with anything else than stock player if even that. Neither poweramp nor neutron support our device.

But then, why you got rid of it?
Thanks, btw.
Mainly because i wanted to try various signatures. I am still fairly new to this stuff.
