Hi,
Korean seller answered me that LG V50 can read MQA and lgv50S can read both MQA and dsd.

Do you guys can certify this?
V50s is more expensive than v50 so I am kinda suspicious that they just try to get me buying the most expensive product

Since v50 is ess chip and v50s qualcom I would have think the opposite.

V50S is Korean version of G8X, and is certainly more expansive because the second screen is in the box.
Also , V50S has 5G ( with Snap 855) , G8X don't.

And a phones reviewer answered me that v50 has no problem reading MQA and DSD since Korean seller told me only v50s can read dsd, not the v50 so my feeling seems to be right and they attempt to fool me unless v50s can read dsd too. They anyway told me that v50 could not...

Since V30 with UAPP can read DSD, why V50 shouldn't?? :wink:

Since ES9218p can play natively DSD , i don't understand why he told you that.

You can easily verify this statement : http://www.esstech.com/index.php?cID=422

OK brothers help me with the math, PLEASE.

I currently thinking about buying Massdrop x Hifiman Edition XX that is:

Sensitivity (at 1kHz): 93 dB,
Impedance: 20 ohms

How many watts output that would be needed to drive that headphones to 75db on average LG v30 that has 2Vrms in high-impedance-mode?

What's the math process? Teach me

I measured that I listen to music mostly at 55-70db only and that's loud to me.

Thanks, perfect tool! :)

20ohms 93 SPL/mW requires 158.42 mW @115db SPL.
20ohms 93 dB SPL/V requires 8W~ @115db SPL

How do I know which is right in my case?

Ask manufacturer. Most likely the first one.

I think I will wait until next summer to purchase the 5G phone I want. Now is too early. There will be new 865 phones (I know that upgraded processors are an unending circus) and the prices will come down. In my rural local 5G would be very beneficial. I also would like a larger screen than the one on my LG G7.
Peace to All

Wrongly copied at first time the readings of converter.

20ohms 93 SPL/mW requires 158.42 mW @115db SPL.
20ohms 93 dB SPL/V requires 8W~ @115db SPL

Corrected right there.

So if most likely the first one, then this reviewer is completely wrong, who tells they need 8Watts to drive to 115dB for EDITION XX headphone that was designed to be used out from portable players/phones, guy is praising his TOTL amps he have:

Thanks artpiggo, I sent hifiman an email to find out.

I am trying to prove a point to that shitter :D

I do listen to my Quad Era-1, which have similar specs, at level 45 in high gain mode.
It's enough for me.
At normal mode at takes up to level 60 on my V30.

But to really enjoy the Quad sound, i'm listening to my R28.
It plays with more authority, better bass and without the sizzle high from the sabre on the V30. :)
