    This is exactly the kind of phone I want, I don’t understand why there isn’t higher demand for audio phones like there is for camera phones. I also want to see the introduction of DACs to more smartphones and/or earbuds as that technology continues to scale down. But idk, checking the website (and understanding that it’s the non primary language site) doesn’t fill me with hope.

      I thought LG were going to corner the market on audio phones and then they just withdrew. I hope Moondrop can step up.

      Because the vast majority of people don’t care or just can’t hear the difference. Camera’s are much more tangible.

        Yeah and this is where I’m willing to admit I’m a weirdo. But like I don’t need pictures of myself, or my food, or the fireworks. If I can see the detail in question for a funny thing I stumbled upon, then the camera is good enough for me. I certainly don’t need 8 different kinds of camera in my phone.

      I don’t understand why there isn’t higher demand for audio phones like there is for camera phones.

      I agree that there should be demand for a large enough niche audience, but it won’t be even near the same demand as for good cameras.

      For most people smartphone are their primary and usually only camera. And there are plenty of situations where you want to take a nice picture or video.

      With audio the trend nowadays is wireless for the vast majority of people. And for that a build in DAC doesn’t really help at all.

        Yeah not a massive fan of the wireless trend, but I do get it’s convenience. Which is why I think DACs should be making their way to earbuds near you.
