LG G7 ThinQ DTS-X

[gmalik]

Hi Everybody!

Which is better for sound?

- lg g7/v30
- shanling m0
- hidizs p80

each one has a 9218p dac

Too much hassle for me when on the go

Less hassle than carrying a separate amp or DAP.

The main improvement I would like is a mic for. Phone calls, so I don't have to do it again after a phone call.

Nothing is too much hassle for supreme audio reproduction...

I honestly belive that there is no audible difference between these, unless you are using +800$ IEMs.

The differences may be subtle, except one of them can read emails, the internet, takes photos even in wide-angle and EVEN answer phone calls...

One thing to note: many have found the LG music player sends the audio through the qualcom sample rate converter if it is 44.1kHz 16bit. I converted all my music to 24bit (no dither so the file size is the same) , and I think they are right, it's better. Not sure if this applies to the G7 as I did this on the G6

I'm trying to find out if the LG G7 Thinq supports Tidal Masters like the V30. I have contacted Tidal who said that the only phone accredited by them is the V30. However that isn't the same as saying the G7 doesn't support Masters. Anyone have any first hand knowledge of whether the G7 does or doesn't?

This is what i saw on MQA partner's page and it does shows G7 as a supported device.

It does. I got the phone at launch and it wasn't supported right away but now it definitely supports MQA on Tidal.

A picture is worth a thousand words, Yes, is compatible with MQA (master quality), from the direct application.

Brilliant. Thanks to all of you. This is what is so good about head-fi. I know what my next phone is in a couple of months!

Hello Head-fi-ers

First post but long time lurker and all that malarkey. I'm normally over at CA but have followed and enjoyed some threads here for last few years.

Anyways I have the V30 and love it. Finally my phone sounded good enough and supported enough storage for me to save carting a DAP around as well.

I've cracked the screen tho and for last few weeks assumed I'd buy the V40 when it came out.

Initial launch reviews seem slightly underwhelming tho so I'm now thinking that since the cracked screen is the only thing I'm trying to remedy I might be better getting the G7 and saving myself some dough.

Super bright LCD instead of OLED and slightly different form factor seem the main differences. But on the audio side the G7 and V40 seem to be equals. Or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance and its nice to join the Head-fi community

Cheers,
Alan

Audio Hardware is the same (and it's awesome). The phone is better than reviews suggest.
