Nope. Not really interested in G6.Any chance you heard the G6 Quad DAC version and can compare V30 sq with G6

Ok I listened to the v30 again of course it sounds awesome BUT
Allow me to criticize the v30 just a tad bit:
1. V30 is nearly the same quality as the v20, not a huge upgrade or an entire years worth of upgrade capacity. I feel like a year is long enough to make the audio quality substantially better.
2. The digital filters are nice, but that's just a baby version of viper4android imo.
EDIT:
BTW you can get v20 now for $278.99 vs $800+ heck you can buy 3 v20 for price of 1 v30 http://amzn.to/2xdADA3
True a better totl phone no doubt BUTwhat you said is true, purely for audio the v20 is a better buy. But if your looking for a complete phone that has all the bells and whistles, then the v30 can not be beat. I believe they now have a true TOTL phone to compete with the big 3. I just wish they would put some money into advertising it. I want them to sell a **** ton of these things so they can keep on producing this line of phones.

As someone posted before, remember when HTC was the goto phone for audio? Now people go to LG. Consequently, HTC has been taking a beating because they lost their core audience while focusing on other bells and whistles. Afraid the same may happen to LG if they don't focus on their core audience.
Lets not forget we lost the removable battery and second screen also.
1. That's indeed good for battery life.
2. Still a pain or easy to forget imo. But I'm old.
3. All of mine have removable storage. Never bought any DAP that didn't have (except iPods/Zune)
4. True but that means a serious cellular data plan. And I'd be skeptical on streaming quality/dropouts.
I look forward to testing all this out when I get the V30.
Well if they go that route then we'll just jump ship to the next manufacturer that will produce a audiophile phone. Onkyo where you at!
Onkyo already has cmx1 audiophile phone, and an excellent one too in audio department
True but root isn't my critique.
But as a phone/non audio consumption it looks totally awful, how much better can the audio be compared to a V20 which has an excellent price point atm?

Have choice in UK of the silver or blue but not had chance to see one in the flesh. What colour you preferring? I'm tempted to the silver.
As much as I hate Apple, I have to give credit where it's due. They did a marvelous engineering job on that stupid dongle. They were able to put a very respectable DAC and amp into a teeny tiny $9 adapter, no bigger than the size of a lightning plug. It just shows what a large phone manufacturing company can do when producing and selling in large numbers. Irrespective of SQ, most modern smartphones have a form factor, UI and software QC that is years ahead of that from any current DAP manufacturer. I love the idea that Onkyo took a shot at this, but I can only imagine what other kinds of wonderful-sounding phones might exist if only companies like Apple and Google actually gave a crap about audio, instead of trying to just trap existing customers even more securely into their respective walled gardens. I hope they try, but I think it's going to be close.to impossible for any DAP manufacturer to catch up with the likes of LG.
