Amp Compatibility

[Tophatwilliam]

Greetings,
I would like to know if my cell phone, LG V20, is compatible with an amp and/or DAC. Someone told me, like the IPOD has, I need a line out to bypass my phone's amplifier and DAC.
Thank you for any help,
Christopher

Why would you want to bypass that ES9218 Quad DAC?  It’s one of the best in the business—for a smart phone, anyway—and the reason I bought the phone myself.  Tell that someone to shut their mouthhole.

If you really think it's worth it, may I recommend the Chord Dave & MSB DAC1 , or the more emminently price conscious and sonically superior offering of a Schiit Yggdrasil...?  

Yeah, yeah I know....   I'm biased.....               (very deeply into Class A)

I would leave ur phone alone and get the Sony NW-ZX300 from Amazon Japan and never look back.  Don't forget to run roxbox  to add English language.
