Man, those are really fantastic news about the Hi-Fi Plus Module! I may get one for me, want to try it out. Yes, you should get it, it sounds at least as good as the LG V10 as per some research I've done in the past.

I mean that the volume even at MAX isn't satisfying... And i want more.
It happened to me when I had LG V 10 and Sennheiser HD 518, for example.
I wanted the result loudly.

max volume still not satisfying? then you really need external amp. I am not sure if hifi plus are going to satify your volume need also if you even said V10 high gain max volume isn't enough yet....

Or just find BA driver IEM.

Are you sure the high output was triggered on the V10, that you used the ESS DAC and not the integrated Qualcomm one ? (I see HD518 impedance is 50ohm, rather low, so I really wonder).
The volume could be low with the integrated DAC on the V10, but once in AUX or HIGH mode, with the Sabre DAC (and so the OPA1612 opamp for amplification stage), it was plentiful loud (with cans like AKG K701, or Sennheiser HD650, not to mention with more sensitive ones like Fostex TH-X00)...

Maybe on the V10 I had a problem with the amp..
I'm reading that the LG amp works if your headphones are more than 50ohm..if they're less than 50ohm,the amp doesn't work.
And my ex sennheiser HD 518 had 50ohm..not more!
Maybe, this is the reason why I wasn't satisfied about the volume..

Then try to listen to a V10 with the ESS DAC really activated : it's not the same phone anymore. Now you have volume, but above all now you have sound quality above all you have ever heard from any smartphone earlier, with increased depth, if you use headphones with enough resolution (the Qualcomm sound was just so so). Your feet will begin to tap. Really.

I haven't heard the V20 yet, though (not sold in Europe).

I know it. Then you just need extended cable (3.5 female to 3.5 male cable) attach first with phone. Then you attach with your cans. This will activate external mode which give more power.

I can't... :D
I hated the battery autonomy and i sold it...
I wanted to try also the LG V20 but like you said, it's not sold in Europe and i didn't want an advice without warranty..so, nothing!
Same thing about LG G6 that has the Dac only for Korea version...
Well, the truth is that for Europe there aren't many devices with a good Dac dedicated..and this is bad.

vivo xplay6 review is near to be served. Just a little question to ask you guys.
 
Do you think I should compare it with mid-range DAP not in quality term but only in character (warm/dark/cool/bright/bass/treble/vocal)?
 
Or better not to compare it ever? I am fed up with criticizing like “How do crappy phone comparable with > $300 DAP?” “Are your ears too compromised?” etc.
 
What do you guys think?
