Which, on a based mobile-world, lands to a choice of devices were very few phones have been build within those specs (LG V20, thought out of flag as updates iirc).

The V20 released with a strong combination of features, including user-replaceable battery, higher quality audio than the competition and strong camera hardware and software. It also had an infrared (IR) blaster that allowed it to control televisions and other remote controlled devices.

As of Q1 2024, the V20 remains the only phone with a user-replaceable battery, DAC audio, 3.5mm headphone jack and IR transmitter. The phone developed a cult following, despite the bloatware and lack of an easily unlocked bootloader.

Maybe there is a Fiio phone also, or very few others... also thought that that lack did build a market of DAC devices that costs like jewelries, and (rant note) that lately become more Android based, for the most.

Thanks for all the info you wrote, really interesting !
Ps: thought that all of those DAC's cable adapters (like iBasso DC05) might allow only more volume, if the file isn't previously encoded, yet from the source, within those specs' reqs.
I'm glad there are still manufacturers that allows a simple radio FM on a phone, despite not always that function is available within the default settings.
