I use the LG Velvet phone, and I bought it for it's Audiophile credentials (it is the descendent of the LV 30 that was on the cover of Stereophile, and it uses an ESS Sabre DAC). LG is discontinuing it and I've been thinking about getting a second one to replace the current when the battery dies, as I've seen them going for under $400 on line.
Does anyone else think that the Samsung plays music much better than the Apple?
While I know that Spotify isn't the best sound reproduction. To me, Samsung sounds significantly better than Apple.
Four years ago I fired Apple as my phone hardware and went with Samsung. I got tired of Apple slow downs every time I updated my software. Got the Samsung home and noticed that my music via Spotify sounded much better.
Recently I had to fire Samsung. I had a Note 9 and was trapped in a infinite do loop. It continually wanted to update the software, via forced shutdowns. The phone would reboot and go through the whole cycle again. Found out that the phone doesn't support the new software and it was just going to keep doing that.
So, I decided to give Apple another try. Got it home hoping with all their hardware upgrades it would sound better than before and nope, very disappointed.
