You reckon the Rog dac beats daps? Im gonna take a wild guess and presume you're talking with 0 experience lol.I'm not sure about that. Most dongles and DAPs are not that good. I reckon the Quad DAC LG phones beat most of them. The ROG 5 might also (I haven't seen any measurements yet).
Besides, this thread has "best smartphone" in the title, not "best dongle."
High end DAPs will absolutely decimate the Rog phone. There are DAPs which most people agree sound better than a Chord Mojo (wm1az). You're absolutely kidding yourself if you think an asus phone has anywhere near the fidelity and expert labour going into it compared to a Sony audio product. I doubt it'll beat most of them either, even cheaper DAPs are getting damned good these days. A secondhand AK70 or Sony Walkman will likely be a solid upgrade to the asus.
But if it makes you feel better about your purchase, sure dude.
