Fellow members check out my video of the dual SIM Korean LG G6, I do a detailed walk through and show you what's different to the standard LG G6, enjoy and feel free to ask me any questions ? This version has the 32bit DAC, 64GB storage and Dual SIM, this is the one to buy!
Mod Edit
Nice video. Also subbed. I have the G600 single sim version. It seems to have more bands than dual sim. Do you concur?
Also, the G600 I got from WondaMobile seems to have some Korean text and apps that can't be removed. I setup as English UK but have you changed any other setting? In sounds and notifications for example the sounds are listed in Korean.

I've got the korean g6 g600s from Wondamobile, and something strucked me, i've got Audio-Technica MSR7 Headphones , but i hear no difference when the DAC is activated and when it doesn't (it make a little pause but the sound don't really change) , do u hear a huge difference between DAC on and DAC off ?

I have many headphones, some lower than 50 ohms, some over 50 ohms. The quality is improved when the HiFi Dac is on. Over 50 ohms the phone adjusts the power output requirements.
Op's, please do not mislead members, you have the hong kong version, it's not the korean version.

Well strange, in my headphones under 50ohms, gain at -6db, dac is quieter than when it's disabled, is it normal ? When i put gain at 0db i hear a bit of breath, same when i try to connect it in high independency mode.
Feel like the DAC isn't working, because i hear clearly no difference in terms of quality when it's activated or disabled.
With Quad DAC is audio output any louder for Google Maps Navigation or for phone calls on speakerphone? Tried quite a few LG G6 smartphones here in America at various retail outlet stores and all were very weak. At loudest setting they could barely be heard. What about 4G LTE signal reception? Does your box or phone show which 4G LTE bands you get? Wondering if Korean version has more 4G LTE Bands. Ones in Hong Kong and Taiwan offered very few 4G LTE bands

I have a wide range of headphones. Most are under 50 ohms. 2 pairs are over. All the lower ohms headphones sound better. If you want it louder just turn the volume up. The sound quality is better with the DAC on. If you cant hear a difference than keep the quad dac off. Maybe your ears can't notice the change. Keeping the dac off will save you battery. Also bear in mind the built in dac that is not the quad dac, is actually very good.

The quad dac only works with wired headphones connected. The loudspeaker volume is what it is.
The Korean version does have more bands. Go to wondamobile , search for G6 and they sell both models and list the bands for both. I have a Three UK sim in my G6 and iPhone 7 Plus. The best signal the iPhone gets is 3G at home. The G6 actually locked on to LTE and regularly.

Many countries also have has the Quad 32bit Hifi dac, It was strange that you posted a dual sim korean version, korea has never sold a dual sim phone officially, and all phones sold in korea are locked to a carrier to either S/K/L.
Also in the video, you can clearly see chinese on the box and marked HKG and for Hong Kong use.

Just got a mate 10 Pro to compare to my u11+ and found that every dongle used with the Mate 10 Pro sounds so quiet. The U11+ is so much louder but even the OP3T and S8 seem louder. Has anyone else found this to be the case? I've used the stock dongle, Google's and Razerphone and they are LOUD on S8 and U11+ but extremely quiet on Mate 10 Pro

Yeah and it makes things sound different, it's basically just an EQ right. Doesn't do anything in terms of making sound louder and boosting everything via EQ for loudness is simply a no go. Via Bluetooth it's fine because my P7s built in amp is used. My wired headsets sound horrible through the Mate 10 Pro though.

Same here.
Sound could be better honestly.
With dongle or with Bluetooth headset, sound is just ok...
Audio capabilities of this phone are a big disappointment in my opinion. If someone can help to make things better please let us know.
Same issue. Mate and 10 lite
No issue whatsoever. I bought the fabulous sony-wh-1000xm2 and live is seriously good. Streaming high res flacs over 990 kbs LDAC
With Mate 10, even with cheap Philips in-ear headset (Philips-SHE3595BK) sound is very clear and loud.
I can't even imagine with a good quality headset.
Using some mdr-1a and the USB c headphones from htc bolt/10 Evo. Both sound very very good, clear and Loud.
I have rooted my phone and can try to find out if there is a way to boost audio via USB c headphones / the adapter

Sound is good but imo, not enough high with headsets
Yes, the max output level is quite low for the dongle. Over BT it's the same as other sources in output level since that's not set by the phone.

With my IE80 the sound is loud enough... But the impedance is also only 16Ohms...
Since there isn't a headphone jack anyways, you can buy the Good Pixel USB Dac, heard it's quite good, at "iPhone" level.

Indeed it is and yet the U11+ is even louder
Not that it is necessary but the extra voltage and lower volume brings out more of the sound etc.
The best dongle I have used is the Razerphone dongle followed by the Pixel 2 dongle. The HTC dongle is actually the worst, but still better than what Huawei bundled with the Mate 10 Pro

I got my LG V30 this week but I can't tell the difference between dac on or off. I've used Tidal on Hifi mode, streaming a 24/192 from the NAS using Shure se846 earbuds. When I toggle DAC on/off and don't look, I can't honestly tell the difference even at high volume. I would expect the dac on to be louder?
It sounds nice but compared it to my old Galaxy S7 no major difference.
Can you audibly tell when dac is on or off? Is there any way to get diagnostics or geek stats to see if something is wrong?

Same here, LG V30plus. To me, with or without DAC, almost same quality, using tidal hifi, lg music player, spotify. I can say that on S7 the bass was more present, using the right setup and a pair of Soundmagic E10. I am little bit disappointed but maybe we are rookies in using the right setup or headphones. I have the BO-s that were in the box with the phone. and the volume is way too weak.
I've got my V30 for a week now. First time I listened with pretty decent (low impedance) in-ears I had the same impression as you. DAC on sounded even worse than off. Second time I did an A/B comparison against an Oppo find 7 which is no slouch in sound output, and everything was fine. DAC on was better then off and my V30 was on par with the Oppo. Today I was in the mood for some music, and DAC on is again bad.
I have no idea what is going on, besides a bad manufactured V30. Or being a rookie
@gjvdkamp
Shure SE846 has a 9 Ohm impedance only. To trigger the Dac you have to use a >50 ohm one.
@all
You can easy check the Dac with
Hi-Fi Status (LG) app. This app is currently for free on Google Store.

Hi Fi Dac works with < 50ohm device, the High Impedance mode needs > 50ohm.
You can trigger the Quad Dac in the quick menu or hold the icon for more options.
The Hi-Fi DAC is not amperage dependent. It's either enabled or off when you insert a headset or device into the 3.5 jack. Of course, first time, you will have to activate the Hi-Fi DAC on the main drop down menu, and you can always turn it on or off when a headset is connected. Amp section should automatically determine what type of amperage device is connected to the V30 and adjust high impedance mode accordingly. Or, you can force a higher impedance mode with an inline connector if you prefer.
Hello. also you have that after the upgrade to oreo the music on the headphones quieter game? I have headphones above 50ohm and before the upgrade could not be heard above level 65. Now turn up the volume to the max and it is still not as loud as it was before the upgrade on level 65. I did a full wipe.
did you flash KDZ with refurbished option selected in LG UP ?
I updated over LG bridge and after updated i make full wipe.

The quad DAC will try to make any earphones sound good. I have the OneMore triple driver earphones and they sound great.
However, around 50 ohms or more, the quad DAC unleashes HIM (high impedance mode).
Been discussed incessantly in other threads, so not going to reiterate here.
You can also activate this HIM mode with a short 3.5mm accessory plug that has enough ohms resistance (Google is your friend) or by rooting. @Whiskeyomega has standalone mods down in apps section that will do that.

Really don't need High Impedance.
Also don't use the adapter with AUX cables. I'm honestly trying to figure out why anybody would do that in the first place.
Edit, when plugging in the AUX cables, the device will go into AUX mode.
Sent from my LG-H932 using XDA Labs
The V30 in aux mode outputs the same level at max volume as my desktop Teac UD-301 DAC. You do not need more.
The whole boosting to high impedance mode is foolishness.
There are some headphones that need the 2 Vrms power of HIM vs the 1 Vrms of Aux mode. Planar magnetics in particular require a lot juice.
Playing at a lower volume level in HIM as opposed to at max volume in Normal or Aux mode may also slightly affect SnR, although we haven't been able to measure that objectively.
But I agree that going through hoops to force HIM with high sensitivity IEMs, only to turn volume way down is, well... :cyclops:
There is a persistent myth, going back to the V10, that HIM is needed to (fully) activate the ESS DAC, and that's what drives it.

I figured out why not to long ago.
LG is marketing high impedance as pure HiFi without mentioning the type of headgear that is giving high impedance. It's just marketing gimmick. Sure, full sized cans will give better sound while also going over 50 ohms. It would have been awesome if LG actually explained what they meant by having a better experience on high impedance.

I used it with high quality 35ohm earbuds, but then later after rooting, I used Anxious V30 module to get forced HIM. So, I no longer need to use impedance adapter to force HIM.
This quad DAC will try to give you the best sound, depending on what you have connected to it. So, that's why some say you don't need the impedance adapters.
But the impedance adapters are just to do what the Anxious V30 module does (force HIM or the equivalent) or whiskeyomega's audio mods. If people don't want to do that, they don't have to.

The distortion is horrendous! Mostly I guess due to the BA. You don't want Anxious mod either. You can possibly kill the IEM's. I would HIGHLY recommend not using a mod. You don't need forced HIM with the KZ.

Obviously you have a choice of whatever color you want. This particular color is out of an aesthetic choice. The cable is for audio. I also noticed I set the volume down lower with the cable. You do get a bit of volume boost . If you find the volume not loud enough, it's because of stock cable.
This really does help the KZ and CCA sound better. I've tried every genre of sound. 3+ hours going between songs and cables and both IEM'S. So it's not placebo.

The Root Sticky specifically talks about DTS. . Bottom of post #1.
I use my phone with 16Ω, 32Ω and 60Ω IEMs/Headphones and I don't care about impedance mode. Sound quality is the same whatever mode you're in, it just gives more power/volume that's it.
If you feel that your headphones are underpowered even at max volume, that's when you should think about these hacks. In most cases it's useless and not recommended.

If you're on stock firmware the quad DAC is used all the time. However, how many of the quad (four) DAC channels are activated depends on the impedance of your headphones. Usually about 50 ohms for all four.
There are mods (requires root) to force High Impedance Mode (HIM) no matter what headset you're using. That's not always best if you're using low quality headset/earbuds.
I use a version of forced HIM -- using Anxious V30 mod, but she toned it down in later versions of the mod to only half the volume for earbuds with less than 50 ohms which didn't naturally activate "normal" HIM. She called it faux HIM or other names because some audiophiles argued with her terminology.
They'll probably argue with mine also -- but I'm explaining it so it's easily understood.

I will post a link that has a possible work around. I use it, but not sure that it is needed to enhance your low impedance phones. You can try it and see, I guess. It will be in the first post of the link as a "spoiler".
I also have downloaded an app that let's you know if it is in normal, external DAC (the work around), or HIM mode. The app is, "hi-fi status LG".

Use it or not. It may help or not. I do use the work around with my low impedance head phones.
The impedence modes only bump up the amplification to accommodate power hungry earphones.
There is no impact on sound quality. You should not worry about it, just plug in your erphones and enjoy.
