    But those DAC's don't do much for improving the clarity or loudness for LG's in-built mono speaker, right? That's why I'm asking them to include some good stereo speakers in their flagships too.....

              I'm intrigue on how much this thing is going to cost. Yet, I have a bad feeling this will cost more than the launch price of the G5

Difference can be heard, not on the build in speakers, no mater how many they are. And in case it isn't clear yet - headphones or external amp DO benefit from better DAC.
