    Where do you get your soda cans? I can't deform the case by squeezing it at all. Pretty solid to me.

    Monoprice Liquid Spark DAC by Alex Cavalli Review

    I have an LG V20 and a V40. Have you figured out how to get digital out from the usb? I wanted to compare the LG DAC to the LS DAC but I can't figure out how to get digital out.

    How to Turn an LG V20 into a dedicated DAP (and general owners' discussion)

    Hello. I have a couple of questions, all related to connecting the V20 to a home receiver to play my stored music on my home system. 1. Is it best to use the HiFi Quad DAC of the V20 via the 3.5mm jack into the receiver, or via the USB-C using USB Audio Player Pro? When using the 3.5mm jack...
