@MAK1975 Thanks for the rec and I’m already using it since day one of owning LG.
Shame Tidal doesn’t allow UAPP to playback offline tracks as it can correctly play 44k ones without upsampling.
Tidal app interface is nicer than UAPP for its streaming tracks and than they bodge it up with upsampling. All none upsampled MQA tracks sound great of course.
Looks like you are using an extension lead to enable AUX mode ?
I ended up rooting the LG this weekend so I can ditch using additional adapters to enable the Aux mode. Root Mod works well.
@mr.karmalicious only 16/44 tracks suffer. Would love to hear a comparison of sound quality by someone with LG V30 and the USB C Apple adapter attached.
Agree on UAPP, I figured you knew about it. The app has nice playback capability, but Tidal has the better interface and search capability. Plus of course Offline when you don't have a WiFi or a solid LTE connection. Too bad UAPP can't play Tidal Offline tracks.
I have not rooted my V30, but it would be nice to not have to plug in the aux cable and always trick my phone into high impedance mode. I'll have to look into that as I have an unlocked V30.
With my DM6, I am using an LZ A4 OCC crystal copper cable with 2.5mm balanced termination that I ordered from Penon Audio to pair with the DM6. Very nice quality cable. Then I have the short 2.5mm to 3.5mm pigtail cable plugging into my V30.
I have never noticed much difference with cables affecting sound besides volume changes.
To me good quality cables provide a solid signal, should remain tangle free, and look nice. Beyond that I don't hear much difference in sound quality.
I'm currently using the Symbios W peel (defoamed) tips from Hungary and they provide a very balanced/clean sound. Not hearing the siblance in the treble like I do with the JVC spiral dots and getting very tight/clean bass. A little less bass than with the stock tips, but the Symbios Peel fit better and stay in my ears. The regular foam Symbio tips brought the midrange forward and created a very narrow soundstage. Very beautiful midrange, but the foam really kills the bass. Silicone tips give me the most balanced and pleasing sound.
Purchased my DM6 from Linsoul before the order frenzy in November and I don't have a pair that has hot treble. Mine seem to sound like HBB's set and are non-fatiguing. I can listen to them for several hours without any problems.
