My prior phone was an iPhone 6 plus run with a dragon fly red and a jitterbug. Even though that combo was good the V30 was better and it wasn't just a little. It was much better with my Grado PS 500 in that the other combo made it sound spitty with the treble pronounced. Ive read that tbe dragonfly is not a good match. The other headphone I use is the Audiotechnica ATH 50x and sounds smooth but not as detailed. I tried the dragon fly with LG but it wouldn't work. Overall I'm very pleased with the LG and can't wait to try it as a main source and AB against my Marantz 6005. I will research the OTC cables
Using an LG V30 smartphone as a source component
I just got one and I'm very impressed with the sound using Tidal and MQA files. Very detailed with air around the instruments. None of the digital harshness that made me stay with vinyl this long. I have some Audioquest evergreen 3.5 mm to RCA interconnects ordered as an experiment. I will be having foot surgery so I won't be feeling like hopping up and around changing records and CDs. I don't have a music server but have looked at bluesound and the reviews are favorable. I have read that running signals out of a headphone jack could cause problems so thats the reason I ordered a quality cable. My question is has anyone used a smartphone as a source in a hi end system but specifically using an LG V30? From
my impression and from reading reviews this phone is a game changer that could start a trend offering hi fidelity to the average consumer.
