There's also a dedicated UAPP thread here in the forum and Dave is very active in it.

Seriously, e-mail the devs. They respond quickly and is awesome!

Here is the info on the one I spoke to like a month ago who responded back to me within 24 hours:

Davy Wentzler
eXtream Software Development

Actually i think it's more of a V30 problem instead, do you think Dave can help?

I can't say anything for sure, but he can. If he says it's a V30 phone issue, then at that point you can more confidently go to LG for assistance.

I get the occasional glitch too, but a reboot always fixes things for me.

Will do, thanks!

Can V30 drive Hifiman HE-400i any good?

Can V30 drive Hifiman HE-400i any good?

Given the impedance and sensitivity data Hifiman lists for the HE-400i (below), I'm going to say DEFINITELY YES! If in High Impedance Mode the V30 can still successfully drive my 250-ohm Beyerdynamic DT-1770 Pro, then I have no reason to believe that at least in Aux mode that the V30 can't drive the HE-400i just as well. Probably even in Normal Device mode too, but I would use the trick to force the V30 into Aux mode to get you the best results. If you don't know the trick, let me know. VERY easy to implement. VERY.

Sensitivity: 93dB
Impedance: 35 Ohms

Depends on what you classify as 'drive' and how good your hearing is. IMHO (others will disagree) the V30 simply cannot handle planars very well--as evidenced by the relatively low volume of my HE-4XX, which is basically the same thing. Even the most efficient planars around (such the 103db Edition X V2 just dont have the headroom as compared to dynamic models--and there's plenty of great choices there. You can boost it a little with the high-impedance/aux trick, but still the volume is lacking...

Hmm I might have to agree... I'm using Logitech G433 RN with the phone, trick the high impedance mode and listen at around 44-52 volume setting. Drives the HPs very good. Same impedance as Hifiman but sensitivity is listed at 107dB, way more than 93dB of the planars

No idea how much more dB I get going in volume from my max setting of around 52 to the V30 max volume of 75? Or is the volume setting directly in dBs?

I agree. It will drive them, but not to their full potential. They need more to sound their best. Better off with the HE400S, but the pairing is still not ideal imo. I think dynamic drivers are a better match with the V30. HE4XX and HE400I have the same specs. I sold my HE400S and grabbed a pair of Sennheiser HD 58X. Much better pairing, and I personally think the HD 58X is a better sounding can.

I no longer own the HE-400i, But have several other planars and the V20/V30 isn't ideal. Planars are usually harder to drive than you think. The impedance is low but the sensitivity is too.

It does pretty good with my Audeze LCD2 Classic.

 

[DBaldock9]

For those who have used their LG V30 (US998), running Oreo, with a Radsone ES100, did yours automatically pair using the LDAC codec?
That's what mine did today - they connected, and the Earstudio app on my phone was showing 24-Bit/96-KHz.

Umm, ok! lol If you guys say so. I owned the Oppo PM-3 planars a while ago, so don't really recall noticing a difference. But I'll keep it in mind for the future.

"The insane is low but the sensitivity is too." Come again? lol

*Impedance not I insane. Darn smartphone keyboard!

I'm not doings it sounds terrible. I find the volume not quite what is like and the bass isn't what it is on more powerful gear.
