Try it with power amp, neutron, YouTube and Netflix. Does the sound change in volume when you toggle hifi on off ? Loudness changes is good enough, no need to observe quality

OK< I just tried it with Power Amp and Netflix. No change in volume with toggling DAC icon using either app. Just went back to Tidal, and it's night and day when toggling DAC on/off. I'm so confused 

 
I mean, I mainly listen to Tidal and local files, so it's fine for me but What? I just installed Power Amp, are there any settings I should be looking at?

Could you also try with Play Music?

I'd be plenty happy if it worked for Tidal. I don't really need it for Netflix or YouTube.

Lol...my guess is that either these apps need updates, or.....LG needs update. Yeah, you got it exactly like I did....power amp won't work. Even if streaming from website or YouTube, Netflix, it just refuse to work.

Well it's a good start if it works with one 3rd party app.  That means software patches can be made to fix others.  Assuming that patch actually happens lol.

Just checked. Big difference in volume when turning DAC on/off, so I would say it IS working with Play Music

This is excellent news. This might hold me over now until I get my Onkyo.

That's great news.  Thanks for checking.  Google Music is my go-to streaming service.

Works with tidal, works with google play with local files only. Will not work with streaming music from google play or spotify or downloaded music with google play or spotify.

Thing sounds beeeeeastly with my Q701. 40 out of 75 on the volume is the volume i normally listen at. I guess ill be quiting google play. Just started a free trial of Tidal. So we are good to go.

So this will be an incoming upgrade for Spotify apps and other apps ? Guess so. So far we have a couple that works, and others that don't eh ?

That's perfect.  You can upload 50,000 songs @320 so when you're not listening to the FLAC files on your SD card or if you forgot to put something on your SD card you can just use the DAC to listen to your uploaded Google music.

I will wait for Flex 3 next year,if the rumours about it are true then will be a mighty phone.

Doesnt work with neutron, and the stock app or google play dont play alac. So i have to rerip all my alac files to flac, not a huge deal though.

And i can see why some people are not hearing a difference. Pressing the hifi button on an app that works with the hifi mode with my RE-Zero in ears you hear the audio cut out when it switches like it should, but when it resumes the volume is pretty much the same. With the Q701 the voulume is about half as loud when you turn hifi mode off.
