Anyone has any clue to where you can buy this accessory? I cannot find any information on the web...

Just ordered from clove.uk shipping to us and i am betting price there is either lower or on par with us, if not oh well my loss lol. They say they will have stock on april 8th.
It is not yet available in the US, and even if you did find one, it won't work on US versions of the phone.
It has not yet been approved by the FCC.

Awaiting for this as well, after a couple days of searching have not found anything. T-mobile stores are clueless as to when and how much. will keep an eye out will post as soon as i find something.
I even asked Lg customer service, they have no idea what i was asking and they kept saying i should contact carrier lol. They were clueless as well. I didnt even try tmobile store since i know they are usually clueless on stuff not in store or on sale on their website.
It's like phone companies have no idea that they own the portable audio market. Even finding specs on a phone DAC is difficult enough, now there's a phone with a premium external DAC, phone's released, no news on the DAC. No one knows anything about the DAC, no pricing, no release date, no availability. Do they plan on a shutter button selling their phone for them? Like, marketing... for audio?! No one cares about audio!
This is baffling.

I agree. I was already going to get the G5 but I am really excited about the DAC. They made the modular aspect a major point of this phone. Why wouldn't you at least be promoting the only module that is practical to use on a daily basis?
Hello I found it on amazon for 229.

The only thing stoping me was the comment by "vansmack"

I ordered mines roughly 196 shipped. I'll report back if it is compatible with the US version of the phone (T-Mobile) and such.
Not too expensive... BUT I would have to be skeptical about it not working w/ a U.S. based phone. I don't see why it would not work.

Definitely let us know!
Fingers crossed I'll be able to walk in to a store tomorrow and pick one up in the UK as a few sites have said the 8th for the phone and modules, but the list of retailers has disappeared from the lg site

It will be working with tmobile version as it seems there is only one version. I checked the korean model and they have the same model number as uk version so i am going to order from korea as usd is currently stronger than korean won.
It won't work on a US phone unless there's been some kind of update...skip to about 5:30

I take this back...just checked again, model# is different.
FYI . i work for tmobile and have talked to our lg rep and the LG National Training rep (people who work for LG not for tmobile) for a bit and according to them, the DAC will not be available in the US. it is not even compatible with the US version.( as mentioned previously in this thread ) they said they hadnt heard of any plans to bring it to the US version. you will however be able to walk into a store and get the 360 cam, VR or Cam+ Module
any idea what technology its using that isnt compatible? Or maybe its a form factor thing? Or maybe since the power goes in the module its now wired for US voltages?
