Phone Audio Suck

Im currently using a Lumia 735 and the build in audio suck and will always have a hiss sound when playing music or sound . I need a solution . I've tried a portable DAC only to find out that Windows phone won't work with micro usb output for music . Since I'm using Spotify , I don't think a DAP will work ( and its all very expensive , but mainly that I use spotify to stream music ) .. So what are my choices left .. get a new phone?

Well built in audio (not build in) suggest the speaker phone.  But I am ASSUMING you're talking about the 3.5mm jack?  If that is the case make sure you get some good headphones.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

It isn't necessarily the headphone audio- some phones just have plain terrible audio output from the 3.5mm because of how awful the amp is.

Ah I thought you were talking about the built in speakers, not the 3.5mm jack. Yea if you want better audio either get a new phone or an iPod or something
