LG V20 - DAC Problem?

[omgitselaine]

I've never been much of an audiophile but honestly since using the V20 and my ear buds to........ my workouts at the gym has been so so productive.

Not really sure if it's actually related to the DAC but I'm loving it!!!!

Great! It is a good DAC even for standard audio.

Where is the LG Audio Player? my V20 (Sprint) didn't include one, just the Google Play Music player .

Sprint doesn't include the LG Player. They only include:

Google Play Music
Sprint Music Plus
Amazon Music

None can take full advantage of the ES9218

...neither can the LG Audio Player...

Have heard anything else from LG since you talked to them last week about upgrading the V20 DAC?

No. I don't expect to for a long time

If none of the music apps take full advantage of the DAC, what is the best player to get the best results? I'm with AT&T and can't get the LG Music player.

I wonder if one player really sounds any better than the other with the same file and no EQ. I'll play around and see if there's any audible differences between a few.

I don't really care about the numbers.... All I can tell you is that I'm hearing things in songs that weren't there before on any other phone I've listened to.

I'm completely happy using my Sony headphones which show as high impedance when connected and the alpha 4 version of Poweramp. My tunes have never been louder or better sounding.

The Poweramp alpha sounds great on this phone. Actually much better than Neutron. The Neutron guy can be unpleasant at times especially, though I am sure it is because he gets so many dumb questions. He could care less about how it looks. He is all about sound. That is cool.

I'm with AT&T as well and the Poweramp alpha is the way to go. You will need to get the app and then sign up for the alpha. Here is the page I believe you can get the alpha. Poweramp alpha-build-703/704 - Poweramp v3 Testing - Poweramp

The hi res mode isn't working on poweramp alpha 4. Keeps failing and going back to default output.

It's working great fine here. I guess that's why it's an alpha

Everytime I click it on I get this message at the bottom. Uninstalled and reinstalled several times. When I first installed it it was working perfect, and it blew me away! Such a disappointment. And now when I go on the poweramp alpha forum apparently it's not one of the supported phones for hi res output. Several people have requested it so I'm hopeful.

Working here....Verizon model

it is really not working. It is again converting everything to PCM and decimating to 48khz. It does, however, work fine with external USB DACs.

Its working as opposed to the error message the poster I was responding to was getting.

I understand now.

Any additional settings in alpha recommended to optimize the sound?

 

[godzillinois]

Can anyone tell me where the hi-res output option is in Power amp? I can't find it anywhere (I have Sprint)
