    Hi guys got a question, my LG v10 died on me and im looking for a new phone Im between a LG V20 or a ZTE Axon 7 + a dragonfly red for the price difference of the 2 phones. But I just need some more info before I buy, I asked a few of my questions on the axon 7 and lg v20 on the other site but I did not get a definitive reply. Im just in a rush to get a new phone soon as I dont like to be without one in case stuff happens and people need to reach me.

    -Can any usb dac including the dragonfly red or any other driverless usb dac work with the lg v20? my v10 only supported usb dac via USBAPP since it did not support OTG for dac

    -Can any usb dac including the dragonfly red or any other driverless dac work with the axon 7?

    - If I choose the cheaper phone it would let me get a dragonfly red and I like the fact I would have the option to use it with other devices and its able to handle MQA (still wondering if it will or will not be the next big thing) but would it also work with my chromebook and what about my ubuntu?



    Ideally the dragonfly red + axon 7 would give me great sound quality that is at least good as my v10 or close to the SQ of the v20 since most people seem to state the v20 is the better sounding one and allow me to use it with my app version of tidal and roon to be able to take advantage of MQA.

    I use my V20 with Modi Multibit. It works fine.

    Yes.

    Yes.

    The Red should work fine with both. Please feel free to ping me in PM if you have issues with either.

    Hi got a question for anyone who knows, so I just tried to use my chord mojo as a dac via USB c and it won't recognize the dac. The only way so far is to use it with the app USB audio player pro. I'm trying to get the day to work with my roon app or any other apps on the axon 7. Thanks for the help

    Just a note, the DAC will need to be low power draw like a Dragonfly or be self powered by battery or mains. A GO2A will NOT work for example.

    I know on iOS it gives a message if this is an issue is there a way to know is is an issue on Android, I guess I can try a powered USB hub to see if it works but I would have to get one first.

    For GO2A you need a powered hub to work (me thinks). Like my GO1K
