And what music player are you using.

Stock LG music player uses the DAC as an average user, other players dont really use the DAC itself unless they are paid versions like Neutron or USB pro, they use the DAC full power.
And there is also the small chance the DAC isnt working proper since the DAC is a piece of hardware inside the phone.

      Anonymous, 23 Jan 2021Please can you give us review of the V50? I cant give you a review because all my devices for the past 5 years have been lg, so am biased toward LG. Havent used an iphone or samsung flagship ever.
      I can give you my opinion, i picked the series V50 because they are for people that prioritize listening to high quality music ( FLAC), has a decent DAC, have the 3.5 jack, good storage capacity in the phone, good storage upgrade capacity on the memory slot, so between the phone storage and a good memory card you will never run out of space.
      3 types of resolution low-med-high, at medium 2340p your phone wont even get warmed when using it for prolonged sessions. At high res 3120 the phone will get warm after a while.
      Keep in mind most flagship phones the highest they go is 2440p to keep the phone cold during long sessions.
      Has OS included google assistant with its own button, voice commanded as well, google lens works as well.
      Decent screen since its LG, good CPU. And price range is very decent.

      Now the cons for people that doesnt use LG, updates have long delays between them, V50 hasnt got the android 11 update yet.
      The battery isnt removable which annoys some people.
      Its not light weight because the battery, DAC, phonejack add weight to the phone, but once you use it it will always feel the right kind of weight.
      Accessories depending on the country you live are very very hard to come by, you are going to have to order them in advance.
      Screen is curved which also annoys folks and makes most glass protections redundant because it will never glue proper unless you get the curved kind and most of the time the glass protection will mess up with the case protection, which means you most likely will have to decide between the case or the glass protection, you can get both and make them work but its hard to get it right if you are buying those online.
      Lastly are the continent variants of the V50, in US you will have a couple of them (locked), Europe also have some and the Korean version which is the most versatile because its unlocked to any carrier wordlwide, keep in mind depending on the country you will still need to register the IMEI with your current carrier if applicable.

      I didnt dig in into the cameras because i use them but am not savy enough to have an opinion, friends told me the selfie camera was great, whatever that means, videos look great.
      Like i said at the beginning if you like to listen to good quality music with wired headphones there isnt a better device that will perform as a DAC and all around smartphone. If you get the program called Neutron as music player, the sound is out of this world with the right headphones.

      And if LG is planning to sell or change their mobile division the V50 will be THE last decent phone with a DAC and jack.
      I might get the V60 down the line but mainly for the Android OS upgrade, things changed on the V60 that arent too appealing for me unless its a necessity the upgrade.

          Jal, 19 Jan 2021So from measurements, quad dac off is better than quad dac on?For analogue audio performance, QuadDAC on will give you far superior performance than off. Also the amplification power of QuadDAC is much higher.

              From alixpress, i wouldnt recommend buying from Cingo, they have a lot of reviews with faulty phones. I know they are refurbished but they are selling phones with different battery model or missing heat dissipators. I got mine from Sen Yuan and no problems, you can browse and look for the store that appeals to you, also most V50 there are the korean version so you will have some korean apps that you will need to turn off or disable and the app LG world to get wallpapers, themes , icons and fonts will be on korean.
              You can ask the seller to declare it at a lower value to avoid custom tax, ask them to make the invoice available to you and basically ask any question you have. I would recommend too to buy the phone case protection because the V50 in some countries is non existent and you are not going to find one, just like glass protections.
              It comes unlocked by default to most carriers worldwide, all you have to check is your carrier support and cross check if it will work in your country.

Also you need to test it prior by having someone calling you or send whatsapp/sms then when you know the sound got changed, reboot your phone.

I am not much of an iPhone guy, but at the end it all boils down to personal preferences. Some of the most aesthetically pleasing phones I own are LG V30+, Meizu 16th, Nokia 7 Plus & Nokia 6.1. In the second row I will put phones like Samsung S10+, LG G8X & Vivo NEX S. On the third row Honor View 10.

                                The above comparison is based on my own subjective views. Others may vary.

The phone looks very premium in silver. I have been using for 3 years. Never replaced anything. Still works great. I am contemplating upgrading to iphone. The 12 pro steel is so shiny it looks ugly. And the 12 aluminum looks cheap. (This is based on online photos only. Yet to check it out). Whereas, the v30+ looks super premium, although its aluminum only
                                    I wonder if I should continue with my v30+ for some more time.

                                      But if there is one phone that can beat the LG V30+ in aesthetics, design purity & symmetrical design it has to be Meizu 16th (Meizu 16 in China). Both 16th & V30+ looks pretty similar while 16th seems to a more refined design version on V30+. However looks are subjective and it may vary for others.
