My Vivo Nex S is currently being shipped. Does the stock music app bypass Android resampling to 48kHz? Or is it best to use the Neutron settings from the 1st page of this thread for the Xplay 6?

Related to other music apps (ie Spotify) - does checking the DSD box in addition to Hi-fi negatively affect battery? Or have any other effect as far as bypassing resampling? Thank you much for your help.

1. Stock music can bypass using hifi toggle.
2. Dsd will comsume more battery when playing dsd. By playing normal format, it wouldnt cause any more comsumption.

Hi All,

Long time lurker here would like to seek some advice on my next phone upgrade.

I'm currently using LG V20, while it has been serving me well, it has been showing signs of slowness when doing multi-tasking or gaming.
So I'm now looking out for what can I replace it with in the near future (Perhaps in a couple of months).

While looking around I came across this article talking about HiFi DAC in Redmi K20 Pro, URL: here, so I begin digging around.
It seems that it is using Qualcomm Aqstic WCD9375 Hi-Fi audio chip, quick googling around doesn't reveal much about these.

And additionally based on this XDA thread, URL: here, one user had feedback that it appears to be on par with my LG V20.
With all this information I would like to seek opinion with you guys here in regards to this phone.

Cheers.

LG V50

Hi @artpiggo,

Thank you for the response, I would have consider that and the rest of LG's line of phone if not for the cost.
A Redmi K20 Pro is half of the cost for LG V50 & V40 here in my country (It's not even sold officially too), whereas I can get Redmi readily now locally.

Thanks.

Hi guys I'm new here and I have a question. My Axon 7's battery kicked the bucket last week and I'm looking for a next phone. I don't have any specific needs apart from decent audio quality, and also I don't really fancy carrying around separate DAC (so i guess it's should. The problem is my budget is limited. I can buy LG V40 but it would be really stretching it. Is there any cheaper alternative?

I'm not really an audiophile. It's just I can easily tell difference between music played on some cheap Xiaomi and my Axon and I don't want downgrading in that matter.

Also @generalwu I've had Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro 9 (it's a global name for K20 Pro) for like a month before selling it and while it did not impress me all that greatly it was somewhat decent when it comes to audio quality. It was worse than my earlier Axon 7 but still better than it's competion (in its price range)

Does anyone know if the iBasso DC-01 will work with a Samsung Galaxy S9+ (AT&T US Snapdragon model)? I really hope so; I'm about to purchase on from a fellow Head-Fier and obviously want to be able to use it, lol!

Use it right out of your phone.

If you are looking for a dap there's no need to get the DC-01 simultaneously.

I'm using Redmi K20 Pro and it's a good option for what it costs but not at all exceptional. My Redmi Note 4 sounds equally good with Ainur Narsil. Plus Miui is a pain and most audio mods dont work on this device so it's depends on what you want out of this smartphone - simple audio performance or an overall package.
