Hi!
I'm looking to upgrade from my ancient LG G2, and since I'm listening to music a lot (!), I am looking for a phone that could also be an upgrade in terms of audio quality. Other than that, I'm looking for 5.5 inch QHD screen, 3k+ ma/h battery, expandable storage.
Should I go ahead and buy the Edge, or would I be better off waiting for the LG V20, which is rumored to have superior audio quality?
P.S, I'm listening to MP3 files through my Beyerdynamic DX i30.
Thanks in advance!

The S7 Exynos has a pretty good DAC. The Snapdragon version, not so much.
GSMArena tested the audio output of the S7 Edge and turned out pretty neat.

They tested the Exynos variant (European site).
:confused...I think the audio could be better. If it could put 2 speakers in the front like the HTC would be more ideal
I previously owned HTC m7 with stereo speakers. The Samsung s7 is mono and barley ok. Use an external Bluetooth speaker work very well.

Its not very good, very quiet in my opinion, it's a nightmare when trying to use it as a satnav

Great with dual speaker mod
Use bt like jabra. Sound better. But not from s7 edge.

It's "eh". Really nothing special. Not bad, but it definitely doesn't stand out. I would hold off and wait for the V20 if that's your main focus with a device.
S7 Edge has a a wolfson DAC (Exynos). Its good, but its not HTC 10 or Axon 7 good.
Just flash the soundmod and use "viper4android" and you will have a georgeous sound!
I am completely satisfied with the sound. Go for it.
Is it possible to replace audio jack of Moto g4 plus with audio jack of any other Moto device?
I'm using same earphones with g4 plus and moto z play and somehow the sound quality is much better on z play.
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...
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!
Hello,
Did someone try to pair the moto g5 plus with dac usb smsl idea? Dac is not damaged, works with PC and other phone Huawei mate 10 pro. Is g5 plus not compatible with such audio usb devices?
