It only states V30 but I think that's mainly because it's the only phone (I know of) that support MQA.Update purely for V30, not other phones ? If the scaling is fixed and MQA works I might just order a V30+ this evening !

Hoping my Samsung phone with USB connected Dragonfly Red might work as that has MQA support on PC.
Does Tidal on V30 also now play none MQA back at correct frequency as comment above suggests it doesn't ??
If I go from my current S7 to LG V30+ based on stuff I've read, will the screen be significantly worse? I know the front camera is meant to be poor but I don't really use that anyway. I'm so close to pulling trigger on a V30+ at £509 from Wanda Mobile.

No, MQA files are NOT being re-sampled. However, I'm not sure yet whether it's fully unfolding the MQA files. Need to dig some more...How does it sound? is it still upsampling?

Quite well in AUX mode.The v30 drives isine? I'm waiting for mine and i'm looking for a good iem. This month i'll go to states so it's a good opportunity to buy an iem cheaped compared to europe

This new Tidal update is looking promising. mqa_enable flag is set, lgmqa_ flags set properly & no re-sampling. Couple more things to check, but this is looking good!

Going on that and the fact UAPP should work soon with the built in DAC, I've just order a silver V30+. Was thinking of waiting for the V30S+ but only really thing it will have different is 6GB RAM instead of 4GB and likely remain much higher than the price I can get the V30+ from Wonda Mobile (£509).
So few of questions I'd like clarifying based on some stuff I've read on this forum.
- I shouldn't need to do anything to get the best out of my Sen HD660S, just plug in and use the quad DAC at its best ?
- Still not clear on what I need to do to get my 8Ohm SE846's IEM's working best as I read something about distortion ?
- Only the Built-in music app (and possibly now Tidal) will play bit-perfect without messing up with scaling ?
- Any ETA on when UAPP is available with internal DAC support ?
- Can anyone who might have got the V30+ to the UK, does the built-in FM Radio function work or not ?

To force the V30 into Aux simply plug in the cable first without the IEM/HP attached then attach the IEM/HPThanks. But needs rhe impedance adapter, right?

Anyone know the headphone output power for this? Would it drive a 250 ohm headphone?

No problems with my BeyerDynamic DT880 250ohms Premium.
The V30 is rated up to 600ohm capability.

It's a bit complicated, but you probably want to use Neutron, because that's the only player right now (including the LG music app and the new Tidal app) that can play back 44 kHz, 16 bit files without resampling. The effects of this will be more noticeable with your (8 Ohm!) SE846.

Look forward to seeing how it compares to Dragonfly Red and ZX300. Nothing in the S9 tempts me so decided to have a go with my first LG. Just bought their OLED TV and really happy with that so I'm hopeful.

P.S. Before people get too excited about MQA on the V30, it's worth remembering that Tidal's app still cannot stream (or offline play) 99.99% of its catalogue without resampling.

Thanks for update. So the new Tidal update scales all 16bit 44Hz to 48Hz still ? You've confirmed?
Your link above explains everything else. I'd not seen that thread.
I'm trying the UAPP Alpha anyway so OK for streamed Tidal.
