LG has confirmed that the new flagship that will be announced at the end of this month will sport a V20-like DAC. In fact, the new G6 could sport the same Quad DAC that was featured on the V20. LG has not revealed any details specifications about the new chip, but it could be the 32-bit ESS SABRE 9218 Quad DAC featured in last year’s V20.
‘LG Electronics will upgrade its next-generation premium smartphone 'LG G6' with a quad DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter). The new Quad DAC is supplied by ESS, a company specializing in high-performance audio chipsets. The new quad DAC features fine control of left and right sound, enhancing sound balance and reducing noise,’ said LG on its press release.
The chip allows control of each channel separately and offers crisp audio. The new quad DAC applied to the 'LG G6' effectively controls the left and right earphones separately to control the left and right earphones separately. Also, by adjusting the balance of sound, listeners can feel the stereoscopic feeling of listening to music directly at the concert scene. The chip implements four DACs on a single die for improved performance and offers 50 per cent noise reduction and a distortion rate below 0.0002 per cent. ‘As the loss of information is less, the listener can hear a clean sound close to the original sound,’ said LG. The LG G6 is expected to be unveiled at the MWC, end of February.
