How to activate High impedance Quad DAC mode - LG G6 Questions and Answers

I have seen that with normal earphones below 50ohms even though quad dac is activated it is on NORMAL mode . Somehow earphone of above 50ohms is needed to activate the HIGH IMPEDANCE Quad DAC mode . Unfortunately those earphone are pretty expensive.
Is there anyway to FAKE the signals of Normal earphone as high impedance earphone ?

Attached pic below

Soundmagic ES-50
and
Sony MDR 510-AS
both are 50+ ohms earphones that I found good and cheapest which can activate quad dac . Any more suggestions please welcomed at the most

How was the sound output in earphones after using that adaptor ? Was it good or harsh ? Your valuable feedback is expected

I would suggest, order one and try it yourself. The price is worth it, I think
Would like your opinion and experience with this.

I don't know why but my Canadian Freedom Mobile has no high impedance mode and I tried it with two headphones that worked with my V20 that got stolen.
This is a theft insurance replacement that cost me a $300 deductible and I'm no disappointed. Smaller screen, no Quad DAC it seems or it's not working.
I Googled how to enable it, so such setting in Sound And notification or Sound itself.
I'm really upset.

G6 and v20 same screen size :
5.7"
Yes quad dac only asian version sad..
But ebay LG G5 HIFI module very cheap and very good stuff.Better than v20 Clearer an wider sound stage.

this worked worked partially
I have zapped my Audio techinca ATH-M20x 47 ohm which has activated the high impedence mode need to do a few times to get it activated
but the trick has not worked with my DT 880 32 ohm

They are OK, but you can get better ones, even for little money. Take a look at Xiaomi pistons for example

Do these have better sound quality than the stock Axon 7 earphones? And how is the in-ear fit? My first impression would be a.) cheap so less quality sound and b.) earpiece shape looks standard so bad in-ear fit

How is the sound quality in the NON QUAD DAC version?

Hi guys, just want to know how is the sound quality in the NON QUAD DAC version. Is it good enough? Maybe like the HTC 10, Axon 7 or Galaxy S7 sound quality? I know it must be worse than the QUAD DAC version, but how much worse? Is it still worth it or if i'm looking for a good sound smartphone i should look for another one? Where i live the version being sold is the 32GB H870.
Same as like LG G4. Over compressed weak output.
My only hope:Root-custom kernel.soundmode (Imperium G4 rom included)

It's that bad? It doesn't has a more simple DAC? It's using the Qualcomm one?
Mate! The HTC 10 sound quality is worlds apart from this phone. I have the g6 and am returning it due to the weak audio output. Don't know why LG gave us Europe nothing. Oh well.

That's sad to hear. I'm not going to buy it then.
I think it sounds pretty good.
General consensus is that it sounds just a bit worse than the V20's Quad DAC and better than Galaxy S7, close to HTC M10's quality. Most users and reviewers are impressed.
I believe it does have a DAC. At least i've read that somewhere but i'm not 100% sure.
Offcorse it all depends on headphones. If you have cheap, ****ty headphones no amount of DAC can help you.

No no no. The HTC 10 has a built in DAC and a amp which really makes the music stand out compared to any other phone I have ever owned. Too bad I sold it after a year and upgraded to the g6.
The g6 is a amazing phone only let down by the audio output. If they put the quad DAC in all units then that would of made this phone godly.

As i said i think it does have DAC. It is true that the output volume is not as high as M10's BUT that also depends on headphones.
If you got a pair of good headphones it's gonna sound great and loud. The headphones that come with G6 are pretty crappy tho...
All-in-all M10 is an audiophile phone so it's probably designed for high and low quality headphones meaning even crappy headphones sound okay-ish or at least a lot better than on other "normal" phones.

Yeah that's true. I'm using the hi Res headfones I got from the HTC 10. The g6 has no DAC. The sound quality is very poor for a flagship phone for £600 I must say. But each to there own.

I use the free vlc player and the 10 level equalizer along with my library of flac music. I run it onto my fender audio system (jetta) via Bluetooth and the sound is incredible. Deep bass, great mids and vocals. The sound with the headphone jack into the aux port isn't noticably better. I highly recommend vlc's free player, I had no idea that it would sound so good. Just play around with each equalizer level till your music sounds the way you want it to. Make sure you start with the levels flat, then go from there. I also put my music on a 128gb Samsung microsdxc card which I purchased on Amazon for only 30.99 I also highly recommend this card. Not as fast as more expensive cards but sound quality can't be beat. Model MB-MP128D. Peace..
Sound is OK it's not bad. But compared to my V10 the sound pales. Not as clean output or wide/deep sound signature.
Sent from my LG-H870 using Tapatalk
LOL. Every digital device that outputs sound has to have a DAC (Digital to Analog Converter), it just converts those 1 and 0 binary codes to electric signal. It's just the quality differs due to price. Some DACs have enough power on their own to drive small headphones, what sets "audiophile" smartphones apart is the addition of an Amp, it takes the electric signal from DAC and amplifies it to drive more power to large headphones with high impedance.
Is there any point in keeping my g5 for its b&o dac or not I have a s8 now well law has had it 6months
Can I use Google headphone adapter from Pixel 2 on my LG G6? Dac and Amp inside Google's headphone adapter is pretty good and powerful, same as Iphone 7 headphone adapter. I bought G6 few days ago (version without Quad DAC) and I think this should be one of possible alternatives for great sounding headphones quality.

TIDAL with HI-FI DAC LG V20

I want to know if TIDAL uses our HI-FI Quad Dac. I'm thinking about paying for an account if it could play HI-RES files from my v20.
Is it worth?
Thanks for your answers.
hi
I think what you was need HiFi Format from Tidal ( FLAC/APE/CUE 24bit/96 khz - 192 khz ) and too High Impedance earphones ( over 50 ohms )

Not sure why people keep thinking high impedance means better quality. All it means is it makes the sound much louder at lower volume.
People keep talking about ohms while not understanding what that actually is. I suggest looking up ohms law, then grab a clac.

Why would you even make a comment like that?
HiFi works on low impedance as well. That's also seen by the free B&O earphones we got that are 32 ohms. Again, ohms aren't a factor on music quality.
The DAC and earphones/headphones make the difference in quality.
You can buy an awesome pair of earphones for 1K that are only 34 ohms. Yes they are worth the money if you have it.
All ohms are for is how much power you need. That's it.

Now that you mention it, I have had the opportunity to try the B & O and the headphones of a Nubia Z11 as well as the Headphones of a Huawei equipment and certainly the B & O headphones have the worst performance comparing them with the previous ones., Well as you say it is a subject of DAC / Earphone

I do imagine the $200 version would be much better then the B&O. Also giving more base which the B&O lacks. I know many people hate B&O due to the base really lacking.

I had both Tidal and Spotify , cause Sprint gave me a 6 month free trial of HiFi Tidal.
Honestly Spotify sounded better with the use of an equalizer, Tidal was just OK but their app just isn't as well developed as Spotify for my taste.

the 1more previous version which are only 99 bucks are pretty damn good, yes the latest version is slightly better (Very slightly better, IMO not worth the extra 100 bucks)
I'd skip those and get the older ones.

Thing is, I'm not sure if tidal or Spotify is taking advantage of the quad DAC. When the LG V20 First came out, LG's own music app was not. Then came an update and LG's own music app started using it.
I don't know if it still holds true, but I think LG's stock music app only takes advantage of it.

I got a pair of Sennheiser IE8, they may not be high impedance, but still a good pair of in-ear headphones.
My question is: Does Tidal outputs HI-Fi sample rate/bit-depth to headphones via Sabre DAC?
Or does it downsamples to 48kHz 16-bit like the most media players available in Playstore?
Thanks dudes.

the B&O included on our phone were the low/cheap version. altough some people claim that the US variant had B&O H3 which are better. and i agreed to the person above, big impedance doesnt mean its better, i once join auidofans gathering on my region and some guy showing his tia fourte and guess what? that damn IEM only had 16ohm impedance and costing 3500k$ ( i could buy a damn car/motorbike/great pc gaming with that money) and the sound quality? damn man, it really blows up my heads. meanwhile, i also tested some guy's ks 500ohm and v20 easily drived it when other phone ( iphone 7 and S8) need external dac/amp to use it.

I got the H3. They are entry level audiophile grade earphones. That's why people don't recommend them for the price they cost. At that cost, there are many mid entry-level earphones that are much better. Since they were free, I'm not going out to buy anything else since to me they are "good enough". When they break, I'll buy something that's mid entry-level earphones.

Well IMO it does, as simple as switching the DAC On/off and you can hear the difference... at least I do.
I gotta back up Broken, I have 9 ohm shure se846s on an adapter that bumps it up a few more that kick major ass if tuned correctly, what you're forgetting is most crappy poor built head/earphones are lower impedance and anything with high ohms. Use quality parts, that dont mean some low ones have quality. Most people are confusing the dac as only good in high mode which isn't true, bout all 500 ohm headphones are gonna be awesome if given the power to do so. They have heavier less easy to move parts which can have more precision, but require the power to do so, i have a subwoofer that has a 30 pound magnet behind the driver but also a 3000 watt digital amp and the woofer barely moves by hand, so when power stops it stops w/o flapping if that makes sense. Just cuz ur $30 earbuds suck don't mean they all do. There's benefits of high and low impedance which i will not get into.

that's called "damping factor".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping_factor
I would hazard a guess that you'd need a lab instrument to have conclusive evidence whether Tidal was using the Q-DAC or not, so that you can eliminate the audio quality perception of different loudnesses. This issue frustrates me, to know what apps and services actually give us the sound quality we want!
I have used Tidal for a year now and it is worth the $20 for me sounds killer. I happen to use the 1more 3 driver earbuds and love them too.
The tidal app sounds way better than spotify. I asked my wife to use tidal for a week and she said the spotify sounded terrible when she went back so now uses tidal. I also use the v20 for my home audio system and a big difference there too. If you don't invest in good speakers, buds, or phones don't waste your money.
No worries about the ohms stuff if your buds or headphones need the extra power to drive them they will have a higher impedance and the v20 will adjust accordingly.
I'll never get a phone without a hifi dac and headphone jack.

what are the good earbud options t at doesn't have hissing with Mi A1 ?

so i like the phone and i don't want to return it just cuz of that , so i decided to buy better earbud , what are my options? ear buds that lies deep inside ear and not HeadPhones that goes around it .. i want to know the best suggestions that prices aren't that high and have no hissing .. thanks in advance .
I'm currently using Faaeal Narcissus and I don't hear any hissing sounds. It costs $27 at Aliexpress, but if you want something cheaper, I suggest you try the 64 ohm variants which you can get for as low as $8. I assume that these 64 ohm ones would have very minimal to no hissing.

Here's Faaeal's official store at AliExpress aliexpress.com/store/2178200?spm=2114.search0104.3.14.LPdCMB
My last year's Xiaomi Piston II's don't have any hiss. But neither do the cheap ones in the box of my old P9 lite...
Both were like reborn plugged in to the Mi A1, great sound for the price!
Xiaomi Hybrid Mi In-Ear Pro HD, no hiss at all.
I think any over the ear headphone with impedance greater than 32 ohm will have any issue
On another threat it said that even Apple Ear Pods (45 ohms) experience some hissing. Apparently the higher the better, it should support up to 600 ohms.
Consider that another headset might have inferior sound quality, depending on how good your current cans are (and some very good headphones have some very low impedance). So even if you get rid of the hissing, you might pay a price in overall quality.

v20 quad dac problem

I have got myself a v20 just 1 week ago.It is the h910 at&t version.I heared lot about the quad dac which makes your musics sounds great.But in my phone after plugging in my earphones,turning on or off the quad dac feature doesn't give any difference.I have seen in some youtube videos that the quad dac usually gives you a more louder sound than the normal mode.In my case sound is loud and crisp and i have no complain about that.But turning on or off quad dac feature i can't hear any difference.I am using the cheap white lg headphones(not b&o) that they have provided with the box.what might be the problem??
You aren't going to notice any difference with the cheap headphones that are included with the phone. I wasn't even aware that the quad dac would work with those things.
Plug your phone into a good amp, or try a pair of (at least mid-range) headphones, and you will notice a difference.

Plug your phone into a good amp, or try a pair of (at least mid-range) headphones, and you will notice a difference.

Excuse the analogy but what you're effectively doing is the equivalent of sticking a set of Pirelli P-Zero tires on a Lada and then wondering why driving dynamics haven't changed much. Your cheap earphones are the bottleneck.
