Hello everyone. I'm a long time lurker, first time posting here. I'm trying to deciding what to use.
I currently have two phones.
Sony Xperia Z3: Used this from since it was released in North America at T-Mobile.
HTC One M9: Got this for free
My Gear: VMODA M100, Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear, Sennheiser Momentum On-Ears, Sennheiser HD598SE (use this on Receiver)
After using the HTC for the first time, I noticed right off the bat that this phone has a great AMP compared to the Z3. It powers up my VMODA M100 amazingly. The Z3 has done wonder but it a little low on output power. It did however power up my old Sennheiser Momentum Over Ears very well, I sold them because the inner ear was too small for me.
Now my question is, out of these two, which one has the best SQ?
I know some have mentioned the LG V10 has the best DAC/AMP combo but I can't really notice a difference when using my M100 or Momentum in ears, it is because the DAC/AMP is only limited to the stock player? My wife owns the V10 if you are wondering.
Thank you everyone.
HTC One has better SQ technically. (gsmarena review)Soft mods are highly recommended. (Viper4Android, DragonFi, etc...)
The Loudness and the speakers are the main advantages. For more alternating of sound, you can always use Poweramp, one of the best players/decoders.
A big contestant for best DAC/Amp combo are also the LeTV Pro or Max models and of course the Meizu Pro5...but if you are living in the US, no chinese Phone is going to be that practical as these do not support the country´s LTE bands (as 'Murica wants to have his own special things - as always).
For the V10, there is a simple "DAC-fix" app or program, so it is always on.
