So, I watched MKBHD and LTT’s coverage of the new ASUS ROG 5 Phone lineup and it seems that this phone has a dedicated ES9280AC, and according to The Verge’s coverage, it has a quad ES9280AC DAC implementation.
This makes me cautiously optimistic about getting decent sound quality out of a phone again.
(Note: I haven’t listened to the LG lineup in years so take this excitement with a grain of salt.)
Do people really buy Asus phones, especially at prices like $1,580 for higher trim ones?
I am keeping my LG G8 phone ForEver for its Sabre Quad DAC and wired headphone jack 
people spend 
loads of money on audio equipment too… 
it’s all relative, I guess.
I still love the V30/35… only downside for me on it was battery life. Mine fell out of my backpack and cracked all to hell, so waiting for a reasonable sale to get back to one. Sadly, LG maybe out of the phone game soon.
If ASUS managed to have a decent implementation on paper ngl. This gonna be the new meme :'D
