I doubt if LG V10 will sound better than a dedicated DAP...
Do you guys think so? Onkyo's circuitboard is dedicated for just good SQ while V10 is made for all kinds of purpose...

Well of course not!  But it would be interesting to see just how close it can come.

you can use the Onkyo app on the iphone now...  should be interesting how the Onkyo DAP sounds compared with the iphone 6/idsd micro...   if the Onkyo Dap sounds better than that combo then they have done real well in the R/D lab...

Buy this Marshall London smartphone... it's from a well-known guitar amp company. 
These guys have made an Android 5 smartphone with Cirrus Logic DAC....
This is going to be much better than LG V10. Marshall has been making all of the major guitar amps since 60's or so.

I just watched it. Its a midrange offering, was hoping it would be a flagship. The LG V10 has audiophile grade dac/amp as well

They're not yet comparable .. I believe. 
Marshall London will sound better than HTC and LG for sure. Marshall has much longer history in audio device than LG or HTC..

Marshall's tube amp are rather good but their transistors one and their headphones aren't so I wouldn't get my hopes up.
 
e/ The french version of digitalversus has a review about it http://www.lesnumeriques.com/telephone-portable/test-labo-marshall-london-plus-smartphone-que-baladeur-audio-n45939.html
TL;DR : Meizu MX4 audio is better

well how can u judge so fast maybe the dac in lg v10 is better but what about the amp part as htc is knowing to have good sounding phones

I didn't say anything about the amp/dac, was referring to fact that it is being poised as a midrange offering vs a flagship such as the V10. Would be nice to have a powerful phone and audiophile capabilities knawamsayin?

Marshall has less OS features because they don't specialize in smartphone. They made this smartphone for musicians. 
I think it won't sound bad...

But, it's impossible to get this smartphone in the states.. I think it's for EU customers only.

Marshall Majors sounded bad to me so I would doubt your statement.

Marshall is touting its system EQ has a feature which can be applied to even streaming services, which might be a bonus for some. Either way, Wish I could hear all three: A9, V10 and Majors
