No I don't...but FWIW my V30 and V60 have had no issues with the AUX input in my H-K head unit in my Mercedes.

I picked up an lg g7 from eBay for £100. It works great as a phone and with my hd560s. Must be one of the most cost effective ways to enjoy good quality sound. Also sounds good over LDAC to various Sonys but I gues that's true of most phones.

This shows that the Android audio pipeline is limited to 16 bits so best to avoid it if you can. Fortunately the LG player does that and therefore, there is no need to buy USB Audio Pro (unless you like its interface better).

Hi there, where do I find this option in the phone if I do not have a uapp? Thx

Newbie question: Admit this device sounds much better on its jack output BUT using Bluetooth output the signals are all equal no matter which phone I use as a player, right?? Other mobile phones I use paired under aptX with my headphone all sound poor Vs LG G7 .....is it only self suggestion?

You do not need to do anything if you are using the default LG Music player

@amirm Have you ever done measurements with Sony Music Center and Poweramp instead of UAPP?

You want 2vrms. That is the minimum of what most aftermarket car stereo manufactures use for pre-amp outputs. I tried an LG with quad DAC in my car with aux-in ony my factory stereo and it worked perfectly. The volume knob had about the same output as when I was playing a CD in through the factory stereo. I tried the Apple USB-C dongle (0.9vrms rated, but likely less since Android limits it to like 1/2 of that) and would have to turn the volume up much higher in order to hear on the highway. If I had changed sources to CD or FM radio at that volume level, it would have blown me away.

Armir did talk about two versions of the Lg G7 ThinQ:

1. LG G7 ThinQ Quad DAC
2. LG G7 ThinQ STD DAC

Do you now the model numbers of both?

In Germany on the used market you only find LG G7 ThinQ.

Every G7 ThinQ has a Quad DAC and a normal DAC.

There are actually two DACs in there with Quad DAC by default not selected.
