Do not watse your time. This comparison is artificial. If you take a Rolls-Royce and Range Rover, the latter would win off-road. The Granbeat is in the league of its own since Sony have abandoned their quest for a hi-rez mobile phone.

Okay, a few days in with CMX1 and I loved the sounds of it driving U12. It makes my U12 sounds more balanced and really brings out the magical vocal on it. This can fight a quite high-end DAP and hold it's own.

I used Google translate. Reading at the last paragraph, the second batch of this product may price down.

problem is that google translate is not very good in translating cantonese sourced chinese, fortunately, i can read chinese, previous articles based on grey imported version of this digital audio player hybrid phone, anyway, we can predict the price for this  digital audio player hybrid phone around HK$5000-6000 ( US$ 650-770)

Yes, Granbeat beats LG V20. And for SQ, only dpx1a edge a little bit better than it. (Dpx1a is another reference in the test)


Agree that the Granbeat beats the LGV20, more depth and clarity with my iSine20. Dilemma on which one to keep..phone with good wide angle camera or a phone with awesome hi-res audio.

yes. do we need 2.5mm connection to work balance audio or 2.5mm to 3.5mm converter will work >


Yes you need a 2.5mm trrs connection to use balanced mode. If you're referring to using a 2.5mm trrs to 3.5mm trs connector that has the potential to damage your player as you are shorting the left and right negative connectors together.

This article is written in Traditional Chinese which is used in Taiwan and Hong-Kong. And I come from Taiwan~
I can translate it but my english is very poor..
 
Test1
1. Woman Vocal(using streaming app)
       LGV20  :You can hear singer's breath sound and the acoustic spaces(3D) is not bad.
                     Vocal is penetrating.
 
       DPCMX1:Not much difference in Vocal,but more powerful and much deeply in low-end than LGV20
 
       DPX1A:More powerful than DPCMX1
 
2. Violin
       LGV20  :clarity and fast
       DPX1A==DPCMX1: Beside clarity ,you can hear reverberation and more musical.
 
3. Balance
       DPX1A(more power)>=DPCMX1>LGV20(more treble)
 
Test2:Music App UI
 
    LGV20:Less function, easy to use
    DPX1A,DPCMX1:More professional
 
Test3:Volume control
 
     DPX1A>DPXMX1(volume control wheel in back)>LGV20(volume button)
 
Test4:Screen
 
     LGV20:IPS LCD,higher resolution to 2K,looks sharper
     DPCMX1:IPS LCD,looks warmer
 
Conclusion
     In music aspect, DP-CMX1 is better than any mobile phone in the market includes LGV20.
     DP-CMX1 sounds more powerful and less hiss(the writer use campfire Andromeda).
     DPCMX1 has only  80% performance of DPX1A.
