Ok, maybe this thread has been started before... but...
I'm asking the audiophiles here, what music do you listen to when you are testing a new set of speakers/cans and what are your favourite high quality songs?
I usually test with Red Hot Chilli Peppers (RHCP), Dream Theater, and some jazzy vocals to top it off.
What do you guys test it with anyway?

1 or 2 program zic with an equalizer but no program to boost the bass or do like all MP3 player!
Strange no ?
As a person who enjoys quality music, I'd tell you to use your headphones to color the sound rather than the player. It's better to have more bass-responsive headphones than to boost bass and make it sound like crap, if bass is what you're looking for.
Just a note though, most people don't even know what the heck bass is, and seem to think mid-bass is good.
Sorry for the rant. I guess I appreciate quality more than most people.
Soaa-, I agree with you - half anyway. I have pretty damn good earphones - and it's always good to have an EQ, even if someone doesn't have good ear/headphones - or if they are using the Hero's speaker/s, it is still nice to have an equalizer - to change your music into noise - or to make it seem less tinny. Or whatever.
Bottom line: We need an EQ app; at the same priority as an app that can play your music backwards and at different speeds...
How hard can it be?

Famous last words...
Anyone else HATE when stinking youtube videos are accompanied by music.... usually loud and annoying..
for example.. I go to check a few games and emulators for winmo... 9 out of 10 didn't have original audio.. just really loud gangster rap.. or trance music.... Freaking annoying no matter what kinda music
Should be in the Off-Topic section .
If I where demonstrating something, I usually just blab on through the whole video lol.
I mean, you said it was off-topic,
but this is like waaaaay off.
To solve your problem,
make sure to give it a 1-star rating, and make sure to mute.
But cool music is awesome!
Typically Evanescence, heavy medal, or techno are most preferable for annoying demo videos.
Ok, cheesy reason for asking...
I've a friend hundreds of miles away in my hometown who's a drummer and a massive Queen fan. I've recently got into Rock Band, and wanna send him a video of his favorite Queen song (when I can play it decently).
But I'd prefer to run a line-out from the TV into my recording device... my GNote.
Does anybody know if this is possible, or if there is an app that can do this with the GNote?
Hey folks,
I guess the topic was already commented but not in a topic of its own.
I recently started listening to FLAC and I barely find myself listening to mp3s anymore. The quality is far more supreme...especially now that I have a Tube Amp and nice hand made speakers.
But - I want to start listening to FLAC on my phone as well. I am using Player Pro since for ever, it does support FLAC but I hear some blips on almost all of my tracks.
So yea - can you guys give me some intel on how the magic happens? HTC is known to have a nice DAC ... maybe recommend some spesific player ..and so on, and so on.
Have a nice weekend!

as i know, there's no software let you listen FLAC with better quality at this moment, every FLAC player output is same mp3 player, it cann't output the FLAC quality
I always use the stock music player to play FLAC, and there's different from mp3. But I don't know how to proof.

The quality is really good with good bass and it's also pretty loud.
I'm impressed.
Hi there, i have the Zuk Z1 since yesterday, I came from a Nexus 4 and I can tell the audio chip/DAC of the Z1 is really good for a phone ! Compared to my N⁴, there's a HUUUUGE difference in stereo image, dynamics and the amping is very good (nearly 2× more volume on the Z1). I wasn't waiting for so much
For information, I own a 450€ audio interface (SPL Crimson) for my music production and listening which has very good preamps and converters + an AKG Y55 headphones (and monitoring speakers for music production) so I guess you can trust me when I say that the Z1 has a really good audio chip/DAC for a phone ^^
Cheers

What kind of music do you produce?
Im a producer as well. Drum n bass, crossbred, hardcore and sometimes dubstep.
@MUG3NHC Nice to meet some others music producers ^^ I would like to hear what you're doing
Personnaly, I often blend Rock elements (Guitars & Bass) with Electronic music. As now I've tried Drum'n'Bass (which I do really like), standard EDM/Dance music, Dubstep, Glitch, Dark Ambient, Progressive Rock, Metal, Funk, etc... ^^ my latest production (work still in progress) is more EDM related (I wanted to try something different, with a more mainstream approach, still it combines dance with glitch and dubstep but also one very discrete rock guitar and bass ^^)

Dirac power sound included according to Dirac (but not mentioned by zuk in specification plus dedicated noise cancelling earphones via usb type c will appear as aftermarket item).
The Chinese launch was accompanied by a music box gift so there seems to be some focus on the audio quality. I can't find any specific details of the DAC though (in the same way that xiaomi and letv advertise HiFi audio and dedicated processor).

To be honest, your tune is a little bit too dancy for me.
Matter of taste tho.
I've got a lot of tunes on my pc, but a lot of them aren't mixed, so i only have 3 on my soundcloud atm:

@MUG3NHC i do really like your music called Night Rain, great ambience
I told you this last song I shared was more dancy/mainstream than what I usually do ^^ Here's an old production of mine which is a more ambient track (on my YouTube channel) : http://youtu.be/gUd10n92jL8
