In comparison to torrent it is much easier to obtain. One last question (since soundmagic e50c deliverable to my pincode) there will be significant difference b/w e80c vs e50c for lg g8x due to impedance differences?

I own it and even both the E50C and E80C, and yes you will note the difference on all these, if you're an avid listener, and the FLAC file is encoded from proper uncompressed DVD Audio.
A tiny bit of difference is also noted on phone's loudspeaker so you get my message..
You'll note more of a difference on songs after 1980, Old songs sound mostly the same, although differences exist.
I got FLAC from Kaho na Pyaar hai and Mann movies, and they indeed sound much better than mp3's.

While browsing found out that shanling ua1 pro (3500₹ sold out) also have same audio chip as lg g8x. Who knows after couple for years later we would be able to enjoy hi res music under 1000 ₹ via dongle dec.God bless audiophile community :)

Beginner, 13 Oct 2022Found hindi collection music collection on torrent. After l... more1) LG G8X comes with inbuilt ESS Sabre Quad DAC. The audio chip not only has a DAC but also an analog headphone amplifier. It amplifies the feeble analogy signal from the DAC and sends this amplified sound signals through the headphone jack to those tiny drivers sitting inside your headphones.
2) When your earphone is connected to G8X headphone jack, it senses the earphone driver's impedance and delivers appropriate power to drive it accordingly.
3) Almost all earphones/ headphones available in the market are of low impedance as then it becomes easy for those tiny DACs in phones to drive the earphones. It need small amount of power from your DAC chips internal amplifier to produce a desired level of loudness. To achieve the same level of loudness in a high impedance headphone may require twice or thrice the amount of power. That's why they are only popular among audiophile community.
4) In return high impedance headphones will give is more control and have some advantages. That is why all $1000 plus headphones are of high impedance type as these will be driven by dedicated headphone amplifiers which cost another $1000.
5) The ESS Sabre Quad DAC is the best DAC chip ever produced for a smartphone. Period. It is capable to handle high impedance load. So when you connect a Soundmagic E80C, it senses its high impedance and increases its amplifier power accordingly. Now you get a more fuller, cleaner and amazing amount of loudness as Quad DAC has automatically geared up the power for this headphones. E80C matches pretty well with G8X running on A10 with Meridian Audio tuning. I love the sound.
6) When you are speaking of songs and different file formats, the recording quality is most important. A badly recorded piece of music will sound bad in FLAC as well as DSD. A very well recorded music will sound excellent in 320 kbps MP3.
7) In our country in general music and vocals are of great importance, not how they are recorded and subsequent audio quality. Hence mostly 320 kbps MP3 is enough. However some music directors and sound engineers value sound quality, so having PCM audio in FLAC file format is a good option.
8) Lastly, there are some English music, songs and instrumentals pieces which are recorded in very high quality studios having exemplary sound quality. For those you should get DSDs, in file formats like dsf and dff. If a 320 kbps MP3 track of 5 MB size, its FLAC variant at 16 bit, 44.1 kHz will be around 20 MB in size. Where as in DSD128, the same track will be 80MB in a dsf file. However native DSD playback on a phone will produce the best audio quality ever achievable in phones. Very few phones can do that, like LG G8X running on A9, LG V30+, LG G7, Vivo NEX S, etc.
Hope it helps.

I've used as much as 32 kbps eAAC+ (equivalent to 128kbps mp3, downloaded original from Nokia Music) and they're ok for general listening while gymming, morning run, etc.
320 kbps mp3 will help a lot, and sound better than the typical 128 kbps file. Yes of course, the music won't be as detailed as FLAC, but no other problem.
I recommend using FLAC format for the favourite 10-50 tracks you have. Otherwise, they'll fill the storage pretty bad, considering you have photos and 4K60 videos too.
I have a 512GB Card inside mine so I'm doing great, but not everyone has the same.

mvd65, 24 Sep 2022You mentioned a huge difference in sound between A10 and A1... moreThere remains a gap in analogue sound quality on Android 10 over Android 11. From what I heard Android 12 is even worse. On Android 10, the sound through audio jack has for resolved details, mostly in the high frequency region of the audio spectrum. It also preserves the signature Meridian Audio tuned sound which I personally adore.
On Android 11, I miss the Meridian tuning and some of the details. With Android 10, the G8X is capable to resolve inner details of a complicated music track very nicely, easily conveying microdynamic nuances, which is somewhat less on Android 11.
With the Vietnamese version of G8X, which arrived later Android 10 is the best for music. But if you have an unit manufactured elsewhere, there is a good chance of having Android 9 on G8X. The biggest advantage of Android 9 is it supports native DSD playback the best audio quality possible on a phone. Then your G8X will be able to play dsf,dff files without any software decoding providing unadeltured music just like my LG V30+ babies on Android 9.
