Tsotsi Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Alright, backboning of the 'best earphones for Goa' thread, I thought I'd ask, does anyone here have a specific phone that they have found works best with fast electronic music? specifically Goa? I'm still using an iPhone 4 (I know, I know, It's a very impressive show of patience. Thank you all very much). It has recently been brought to my attention that phones like the HTC 10 and LG v20 use DAC technology to create a better sound through headphones. I think some lesser known brands like Vivo do this too. Has anyone looked into this before or noticed a phone providing better audio than others? does it even make a difference or is it just audio-washing used by tech reviewers?

Drosophila Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Portable DACs like the dragonfly-series have a good reputation... http://www.audioquest.com/dragonfly-series/ I imagine that it will perform better than any of the build-in versions... Then you need a phone that can sent the digital signal to the phone via the micro-USB or Type-C (depending on the phone when using Android).

Tsotsi Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 Thanks for the guide. Went for a HTC 10, built in DAC might be to hard to pass up. Lets see if it makes a difference. Article was a great help btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
