I would like to ask whether the LG Nexus 5 share the same audio chip (or DAC) with its cousin the LG G2?
Please advice. Thanks.

I wouldn't as it is hardly an upgrade. The processor gives you 15% more. The screen is the same but tougher Gorilla Glass 4 on the V20. Same GPU. Slightly larger main camera sensor. Removable battery. Tough construction. Above all, the Audio and Video recording and playback blows away the G6 (US Version)!

Improving sound on the G6. Can Hardware be swapped/upgraded ?

It is very upsetting that the sound quality on this phone is not even close to the rich sound found on the Samsung S4 made 3 years before.
Is there anyway I can upgrade the sound chip on this phone? I mostly listen to Music on Youtube, Soundcloud and other streams.
for having the s4 also, I find the g6 much better, either via headphones or via the speaker (which is really good for a mono positioned on one side)
I selected the equalizer "QuadBeat", the sound is rich and detailed, yet my model is the h870, it does not have the quad DAC but the quality is superb

What? You are comparing Galaxy S4 and G6? ? H870 (without quad DAC) have pretty solid DAC and AMP, and detailed test showed that even the Galaxy S8 Exynos haven't better audio chip than G6 H870 with standard DAC. Bottom firing speaker is also crispy and very detailed. Galaxy S4, oh man please don't...

DAC type in Moto G4?

Could anyone please tell me which DAC Moto G4 uses? Also are there any details about the built-in amp that I could find? Trying to decide if an external budget mobile DAC/amp will be more helpful than just external amp for my headphones.
Thanks!

G6 vs V20, Which one to pick?

So the lg v20 and the G6 is going at 155$ here, which one should I get? I really listen to music a lot, like a lot and I take pictures of scenery here and there, but I heard lg v20s rear camera lens cover cracks! I wanted to get the v20 but that problem really concerns me so should I get the v20 over the G6? Does G6 got any problems like this? Will it be better than the V20?
It would be a great help, I am really struggling to decide.
TIA.
Go for the LG G6.
If you are the picky audiophile type, like the one to read through each and every of the 100+ headphones tested by a head-fi.org member https://www.head-fi.org/threads/shootout-114-portable-headphones-reviewed-xiaomi-mi-headphones-added-04-21-2015.433318/,
Then you will want either the
V20 that has the quad-dac
OR
The handful of G6 varients that have the quad-dac.
(Which may limit your reception bands since the us/Canadian models don't have the quad-dac, and the foreign models don't have all the usa bands).
Functionally, the two phones will be essentially the same - cpu, gpu, cameras - but the v20 has the bigger G3/G4 like size screen, whereas the G6 is the G2 but a finger width taller.
If you can't find any G6 models with quad-dac, the v20 is the easy audiophile choice.

G6 no doubt
G6, without a blink of an eye, but try buying the G6 with Quad-DAC variant...
V20 is old, did not receive any more updates, and is ugly...for 155 the G6 is way to go here, the only advantage of V20 is the IR blaster but is a thing some can live without, but overall build, look and feel is G6.
