the v30 is an outstanding source, however you need to get it into external or high impedance mode for its virtues to shine--you can do this by first plugging it into a 3.5mm M to F plug or a 3.5mm impedance adapter plug (which costs around ten bucks). there's a very good thread on headfi about the v30 as an audio player.
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.
