hi there...would be for my sony z1r cans or flc 8s iems..maybe senn hd650 (if i keep them)

Switch the role on the nexus 5 + mojo/ipod brick to a V20 and you shall get the simplicity and the convenience of having the V20 as your daily quality source of audiophile on the go , without the hassle , troublesome of bringing a thick stack on the move , just a piece of extra spare battery is enough for the day .
But having said that , first thing first you got to find out , experience it , whether or not the V20 types of audiophile standards meets your expectations with your iem / headphones .

In my case , my ultimate objective is having a stand alone set-up of just 1 device 1 Iem which is capable for all occasions , currently my primary usage for the V20 is reserve strictly as my daily dose of portable music on the go , for home use I enjoy more on desktop with the creative labs sound blaster E5 which I purchased initially to use it as OTG with the HTC one .
With the current V20 enormous amount of output power at high impedance mode to powered my beloved asg2.5 daily on the move , apparently I don't need having extras , for now .

thanks...for home I have a separate desktop setup.
so yes seeking v20 for strictly on the go but want primo sound.
also considering a real dap: AK300 or such, too, (need streaming for my tidal)

Yeah , that AK 300 is on my radar , mostly for its muscular looks . Haven't got a chance to try it out , too many commitments too little cash

question: if the lg v20 were a dap or dac...which one would it most resemble in SQ/signature?

 

[capetownwatches]

Looking to source another piece of micro SD card with the V20 , preferably one with the latest generation and a storage of 128 or 256 GB .

I heard different brand / types of micro SD card does has some effects over quality on the audio files while playing back on players . True or false I'm not sure .
But would like to seek opinions on which type / brand is most suitable to be used on the V20 for audio files ?

Currently I'm using my 4yrs old Samsung evo 32gb class10 card for audio storage .

Any Top notch , reliable card to recommend ?

I use Sandisk Ultra Class 10 exclusively, never had a failure. Fast and bulletproof. No need for anything fancier (and more expensive).

Cheap cable .

question: if the lg v20 were a dap or dac...which one would it most resemble in SQ/signature?

I say most resembles as a DAC , apparently the LG engineers had found a good way of how to correctly implemented the 4 dac in a way that could somehow cleverly shield off interference in a way of having absolutely Zero hiss , noise floor which I hasn't picked up any since day one on my iem with the Sensitivity of 123dB @1mW
( in high impedance gain mode + maximum volume )

That's remarkable from a mobile phone pov

I had a couple of days left till next Tuesday to make a decision .
I had been using the Samsung evo for years and hasn't got any user experience with the SanDisk sd , but I did owned a 128gb SanDisk ultra dual usb 3.0 OTG for close to 2 years and speed , performance wise I got no complaints consider the purchased price .

I guess it's just Samsung or the SanDisk , I'll see what's the price difference for both @ 256gb

Hey guys, how would Beyerdynamic's T90 Chrome (250 ohm) sound through the LG v20? Any ideas?

 

[Forty6]

Enhance my music further with a relatively simple to use equalizer from play store . been using this eq for many years on my note2 and htc one .
It's by far the best stand alone equalizer i had used on all my mobile devices .
Even though its a 5 band and a very simple looking one , it's capable enough to tuned your music .

It works flawlessly on spotify , YouTube , Google play music , and most music player , but not on the stock player .

LGV20 ( high impedance gain mode )
Aurisonics ASG2.5

Equalizer paid version .
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.equalizer

spotify premium

Share one of my settings on the equalizer .
Better dynamics overall , without losing the details , clarity or changing the SQ , signature with the enable of the Sound amplifier at maximum lever .
volume on the V20 is between 40-50 , very loud but without distortion on my asg2.5 .


The slider on the eq are very sensitive and responsive even by a slightest touch . so move the slider slow and steady bit by bit .

The Sound amplifier does not work with my previous mobile , this is the first time im able to activate the sound amplifier , working very solid on the V20 . i could not believe what I've been hearing .

Simply incredible.

Thanks for the share...

Can't speak for the T90, but I have the 880 Chrome (250 ohm) and they sound great. No matter what cans I have V20 does a great job driving. Also have HD650, AKGK702. Beyers I've been using more as my daily with the V20.

Does anyone know how many dacs are used when in AUX mode?

Does anyone know how many dacs are used when in AUX mode?

The number of DACs used does not change with the output level.

 

[ZoneX23]

@Dellwolf You mentioned powering your DT990 600ohm headphones with the V20 at a reasonable volume, which is incredible. I'm actually looking into getting DT990's myself, for pairing with the V20 as well.

1) Should I go for the 250 ohm DT990 for the V20, or is the 600ohm still a good choice?
2) What volume level are you at for your personal listening? Have you ever found yourself wanting to increase the volume, but couldn't?

Thanks!

 

[briant4pres]

The number of DACs used does not change with the output level.

According to lg it does, in "normal" device mode 3 of them ate turned off. In high impedance mode all 4 are on.

Hg avnt head anything about aux mode though
