I reviewed V10 audio, and I still stand for it being the best sonically quality performance for a smartphone in the U.S. It design is elegant and very desirable.
I am eagerly waiting the G5. It could be worthy with the new B&O module....or....a failures ? We do not know. However, V10 is proven, and most importantly....v10 was dead quiet for a DAP...let alone having a phone functionality. It actually beat the Zx2 in background blackness.
So I would say the V10 is still the best for the money, until the G5 prove itself
. Keep in mind if you care about paper spec, the es9018 in the v10 is 24 bits...and the G5 module will have 32 bits
