You mean UAPP
If you're using UAPP and just firing off into an external DAC/amp then it doesn't matter what phone you have.

Same here,. Sound preset:Normal,. Filter: Short.Mine is normal short
Definitely the Andromeda not v30.Well, I'm very disappointed with V30 right now.
The Noise floor from V30 is insane.
I'm using Andromeda with 8wires gold-silver cable, so it is even more sensitive to the noise.
From my testing, the result is like this:
From Clean to Noisy:
Iphone6 <ipad pro< AK320 < Oneplus 3t < dx200 < Macbook pro < V30 without HIFI mode << V30 with HIFI mode
I tried to use IFI IEMatch to solve this problem, but like any other impedance adapter, the bass the overall clarity, and the soundstage has been significantly reduced.

Thanks for the feedback. That's my suspicion confirmed. You're hearing artifacts from the up-sampling. Noble K10 is less sensitive (~ 35 Ohm) and masks this problem.I'm also using Andromeda and can confirm that while the V30 / Andro combo produces noise (both hiss and processor noise) with redbook audio (16/44 FLAC), but is pristine and perfect with hi-res. I'm using stock Campfire Audio cable.
P.S. haven't noticed this with Noble K10

For any type of music stored on your SDcard, Neutron is a good option. Unfortunately, there aren't too many good options right now for streaming via Tidal. I've reached out several times to Tidal's tech support to try and help them fix this problem, but they're simply not interested
Aren't you skipping LGs Quad DAC for snapdragon while using UAPP?
There's supposed to be UAPP beta for using internal V30 DAC bit perfect. That's what I'm referring to.
Ooh. That's exciting! I wonder if it will allow MQA decoding? I'm guessing no due to licensing etc.
So... the iBasso IT03 has basically turned this into my usual listening setup. It's a hell of a combo.
From a failed driver issue with my JH16's to slightly too bright 1more Quad's, I realize I just need to take a long-term break from IEMs. Don't find them comfortable anymore. But I'm glad you found a nice match.
I'm hoping the Meze 99 classics will sound nice with my V30 for my portable on the go setup. They seem to have a similar sound signature as my hifiman edition x v2's which sound amazing straight out of my V30 so fingers crossed.
I feel really confused by people calling the Quads bright. Their bass was too much to my ears, same with the people I had sample the pair at a meetup. I think people are having an iffy fit or something, because they should be pushing some serious low end. If anything, I went with the IT03 because I needed something that didn't tilt so much.
