Just got my marshall london in the mail yesterday. This is my first real DAC other than intel integrated laptop junk, and an old creative audigy. It sounds amazing, AptX bluetooth on my Blu-100 Brainwavz is awesome, and I'm already hearing things on FLACs that i didnt know were there. The included edjing app and 4 channel mixer is really fun to play with. When i've used the onboard mics the output is stereo, and very clear. The front speakers are loud without much distortion when cranked to 36. I absolutely love this phone.

​How about the phone itself ? is it good enough for daily task like browser on google/facebook etc and watch movies/xxx videos xD ?

Totally quick enough for every day use; though I manage my expectations for mobile devices. I generally watch videos and movies on my laptop, or cast them to a tv. I was previously using a first gen moto x (2013), which after the 5.0 upgrade, began to slow down. The london is quicker than that phone. My main phone right now is a Moto G4, and I'd say the london is a tad slower than that. The raw specs dont tell the whole story, as the very lightly skinned stock android helps the phone to run smoothly. However, i did not purchase this phone for those functions; if anything i would use it to make and recieve calls and texts, which it does fine at. Unfortunately the radio bands only allow it to be in service on AT&T here in America. The camera is alright, plenty for selfies and social media, but a bit slow to focus.

More Onkyo DP-CMX1 from a russian site:

Site claims Japan price will be ~80 000 Yen.

Gave in and ordered the Axon 7.
 
As much as I would have liked the native DAC recognition without having to worry about compatibility that the LeEco x800 / x900 have (not to mention them both being considerably cheaper), the x900's screen size is just far too unwieldy for my purposes and the x800's 64GB limit and no SD card slot was bound to frustrate me to no end.
 
Perhaps nothing infuriated me more in researching this than seeing LeEco ditch their AKG tuned custom DAC solution and headphone jack for their janky USB only solution. Their latest models would have otherwise been perfect. At the end of the day I guess I'm glad to be able to support ZTE with my money for focusing on audio quality particularly since their handset division recently experienced layoffs.

My Le Max hasnt arrived yet after 20 days
 
Can someone tell me  what to expect about its camera? also battery?>

Later on this year, I think it crown will go to the Onkyo DP-X11 phone. It has almost everything of a popular DAP: dp-x1.

But we still don't know yet how it compares against the likes of LG v20 which in itself is no weak performer by any means.

 

[Onitsuka]

80000 yen ~ $750, which is reasonably priced. However the battery and camera would be a deal breaker.

oh dang, Le Eco and Coolpad released a new phone called S1 and it has a headphone jack, and also it has Harman Kardon audio, it has NXP smart PA, im sure it has a dedicated one. Also you can still use their CDLA throught its USB type C.

It meantions AKG, perhaps it has a new ESS DAC costumized by AKG maybe like the Le Max?
 







 
 
Someone translate these plz
 
EDIT: found this quote in another web about the phone
 
"The Coolpad Cool S1 comes with symmetrical dual stereo speakers, dual-type sound chamber design and dual 10V intelligent audio amplifier. The phone is also bundled with Harman Kardon AKG N18 earphones as well. The headphones themselves are said to be word around 999 Yuan (approx. $144 USD) and are made of aluminum (that's cool!) - this is definitely an amazing value by itself."

it is coolpad's version of le pro 3, same device.

I find the S1 better than Le Pro 3 honestly, Coolpad S1 has a headphone jack with HK audio and it has almost the same specs.
Le Pro 3 is a deal breaker since it has no jack

 

[eio]

  Coolpad S1 has a headphone jack

no it doesn't.
they have the same hardware & software, branding is the only difference.

Hi all,
Just looking for some advice on the Lenovo x3 lite.

I was originally looking for a decent-for-the-money flag player and thought I was going to get the fiio x3. However, I just don't like the interfaces of these players. Since before they were available, I always wanted a way to browse by cover art. I know it's superficial, but sometimes it inspired me to listen to something I wasn't going to originally. So I started looking at flac players based on android. Way too expensive for what I will use them for. So I decided I could use a smartphone with decent sound as a compromise. I know it won't beat a dedicated player, but this won't be my main device.. mainly something to use on holiday. Obviously a smartphone also has the added bonus of other apps I can use on it, as well as watching movies.

The Lenovo x3 lite is pretty cheap on eBay at around £140, and seems to have been mentioned on here quite a bit.
Does anyone actually have one who can vouch for its sound quality? Did I read that it has the same DAC as the Marshall London? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
