I recently picked up the LG V30 instead of buying a dedicated DAP. And with its Hi-Fi Quad DAC turned on, my music sounds *great*. I use Tidal and 1more Quad IEMs.
The LG V30 also supports AptX HD, so I tried the XB10 yesterday and was was very pleasantly surprised that this thing's DAC upped the sound quality even more, particularly with classical music which I listen to a lot.
(I'm ignoring MQA in this comparison. The LG V30 decodes it, the XB10 can't.)
For example, listening to Bernstein Favorites Children's Classics, Peter and the Wolf, through the LG V30's Hi-Fi Quad DAC the echo of Leonard Bernstein's voice in the recording venue is there but muffled, and the decay ends abruptly. But the same track put through the XB10, the echo is clear, the space opens up, you can make out the words bouncing back on top of Bernstein's narration. It was awesome. The music also benefited from the increase in realism.
