I am not sure if I will root it yet, as my original plan was to use it with an NX3s, as it's high impedance shouldn't effect my HE400i. Suggestion: If not a thread elsewhere, might you consider changing title to include 'and Owners Thread'. Is 'these instructions' supposed to be linked to somewhere? Looks like plain text.
If anyone tries this and finds corrections for my notes, please let us know and I'll update my post you for your great HOWTO. I had a lot of trouble getting Viper4Android to work, but I stumbled on this sequence by accident and for whatever reason it works. At this point, Viper's driver should be successfully installed and you can start using it.
In case anyone else wants to try this out, I'm sharing my notes on how to make it happen. I've got system-wide parametric EQ that works with most apps (Spotify, YouTube, etc.). It turned out to be an even bigger pain than I expected, but ultimately proved successful. Since V20s are so cheap nowadays, I decided to just buy a 2nd one to set up as a dedicated DAP and experiment with it. Viper4Android FX provides a solution for system wide EQ, but it requires rooting which I'm not willing to do with my primary phone. When doing focused listening in the evenings, I don't like having distractions available on my player. I use EQ extensively for my headphones and would prefer to have system-wide parametric EQ available rather than being stuck with Neutron's in-app EQĢ. Unfortunately my LG V20 falls short of perfection in two critical ways:ġ. Compared to every DAP I've tried, having a modern Android OS provides a much better user experience, and it's nice being able to consume streaming videos in addition to audio.
It's got enough power for my full size cans yet remains quiet with my IEMs. I use an LG V20 as my main phone and love the sound quality and user experience when running Neutron Player.
