***Lets Talk Smart Phones***What Do You Us???ANY Set Up & Optimizing Tips For Audio???

Dragged kicking & screaming into the SP era & using a $50.00 LG for many years now,recent events have motivated me to downsize/upgrade my mobile audio kit.No more phone & separate DAP with corded headphones or IEM's.Taking delivery this coming Monday of an NOS,LG "G8x ThinQ"single screen(128GB/6GB).This is the version with the Sabre Quad DAC & Full on Voicing by Meridian Audio.Everything is optimized for sound quality straight out of the phone & I will be using the factory LG Media Player to access the 1400+ songs I have on Mini SD transferred from Foobar 2000 in FLAC & WMA lossless...Any tips on setting up the LG Media Player for best audio?
 How about setting up Bluetooth as I intend to use BT5.0 headphones,any tricks to getting the best signal out to the cans?I will be using only a few Apps like Tune In(IF we ever have sports again),Google Music Play,Yahoo email,Weather and a few others but I don't watch video or game so all that memory & processor can focus on BT audio out...
 How about your mobile rig,is the phone the main source & what headphones  do you use?

I use an iPhone 8 w/256G of memory. Listen on headphones to Tidal/Qobuz/Amazon downloads via a Chord Mojo. Pretty darn good.

Bought 2 Apple HomePods and set them up as a stereo pair. Combined with the iPhone (and decent WiFi) it makes a nice minimalist stereo setup. With a sound quality that - to my ears - far exceeds a setup costing much more. I listen at my desk in the near field and I am often surprised at how much I like what I'm hearing.
