So, I recently had to change my phone (RIP V50 DX ) and got myself a V60 to be hip or whatever. I figure LG has this quad dac thing figured out by now cause the V20 and V50 have been pretty good as DAPs.
Well, the V60 sounded unpleasantly shrill and distorted to all hell when I first set it up, which I was quite unhappy with. On investigation, this is a software problem. LG forgoes the outsourcing they they have been doing since the first V series phone to save money I guess? The result is this hot garbage. Thankfully UAPP exists, so I switch to that from Neutron to bypass the garbage quad DAC digital filter and coloration, and the sound is now fixed.
What the heck happened here? Why did anyone think adding a digital filter to simulate impulse response was a good idea? Is there some merit to this concept I'm not getting? I thought the goal of hi fidelity audio was to remove distortion and unnecessary coloration, not add it.
This incident has been befuddling. My brain needs help understanding the rationale here.
