If you are dabbling in DACs you should buy a unit that's actually been reviewed, not guess on a unit with unknown quality.
There are PLENTY of decent DACs under $200. You can get a DAC / AMP easily for that amount (shciiit stack, o2+odac, Fiio products, ect), let alone just a DAC.
As I pointed out earlier, even the top 5 DX5 is a DAC / AMP combo, it includes both. You keep implying as if this is a good deal when this unit does not include an AMP. You can get just the DAC portion from topping for $225 and that blows a majority of the DACs on the market out of the water.
Even the most budget DACs from Fiio or Schiit will bring much better quality. Mind you, the standard DAC on LG phones is sometimes better than Quad DAC as channel imbalance is worse when you have quad dac enabled.
Then again most phones don't need a good DAC. Any wireless audio device is going to be using it's own internal DAC.
Have you even looked?
And yeah, LG made decent audio interfaces…. compared to other phones.
The sound quality is not as good as a single Sonos Play 1 or the standard Bose companion speakers - each for under this price point. Pretty disappointed.
I see there are v1 katanas from soundbalaster for a little more. I would go that direction if I want a gaming setup.
