Bang and Olufsen DAC in North America?

[mwake4goten]

My wireless company has the LG G5 at a very low price, but I'm a bit of an audiophile so was wondering if the Bang and Olufsen DAC has been released in the North America yet? I can't seem to find it...

Thx, what a shame to hear! What gives with 2016 smartphones they all seem to have a major achilles heel this year.

Again....I have not confirmed it. Thought it was an FCC thing but not sure what the hold is..... Makes no sense

The B&O DAC's lack of availability is what's keeping me from getting a like-new G5 from Swappa. The G5's headphone port is apparently weaker than that of the G4's meaning the V10 is superior when it comes to headphone audio quality.

Anyone heard anything new on this?

I wouldn't hold my breath on this ever working in a US phone at this point.

After seeing that the DAC is built in on the V20 and the back comes off instead of the bottom dropping out, I'm ever more convinced that they couldn't get FCC certification for swapping anything more than a battery.

Ok so the B&O models u find on eBay. If you buy one will they not work on USA phones? If so why

Its on Amazon, but from what I understand it only works via USB C cable...
