I recently got a portable amplifier with USB DAC connection (iQube v2). Now, since there's no true audio line-out from the SGS, I was wondering if one can connect the SGS to the USB DAC for audio out instead.
Any info will be hugely appreciated! Thanks.
audio out? are you joking? wth do you think that audio jack is ).
As far as I know, the SGS has no digital audio out, only analogue, so theres no way to connect it to your DAC.
The analogue-out on the SGS is quite good btw, and so is the built-in dac so theres not much need for external dac either.
i have been using my pair of cx-300 for about 3 and a half years now and they are unbeatable at sound quality. if you want good soung, go look for some very good headphones.
You can always try and let us know what happens...
I have USB DAC, but I connect it to the PC, I dont use it on the road...

Audio out is not a true line-out.
What do you think LOD cables are for?

Sennheiser IE8 here. Lets have an offtopic top-tier IEM party
Ontopic: I think with voodoo sound app, you can make your phones-out behave pretty much as a line-out, preampwise. Its still not a true line-out but for practical purposes that doesnt really matter.
The other issue that I'm having is jitter from the SGS.
Already using voodoo sound v7, from voodoo kernel 5.5.3. Voodoo Control with everything ticked except "mono downmix" (as recommended by supercurio). Every now and then, I still get a little jitter when I'm playing my music (FLAC mostly, and MP3 320kbps CBR).
At the moment, I use either a Cowon D2 or a MZ-RH1 as my source. The RH1 sounds better IMO, but discs can be an issue (not really that portable). The D2 is also great, but lacks a true line-out.
Guess I may be on the market for a decent source.

Sounds like youre maybe the type thats just never quite satisfied
I find the SGS with voodoo sound to be a quite capable portable source (compared to portable players in general but especially for a phone) that has no problems delivering into high end headphones. But sure, its always possible to find better and drag that along. Probably wrong forum for that though.
I want better sound on the loudspeaker
Made possible by my sexy LG Optimus 4X HD (P880)
You can get a slightly better sound with beats audio from here:

But it's only for Headphones, I think. I also hope for Voodoo Sound.
I mean for both music Via External Speaker and Via Headphones.
Some roms i think have a Very low Speaker Output, we got one of the few smartphones with real stereo speakers and they have incredible well.... Low Volume
I think CM10.1 has very good sound, you have DSP Manager, which is a equalizer app for CM. You can either choose presets or do it yourself. You also have a bass and treble booster.
If you have decent headphones or earphones, you can really experience it.
Hope this answers your question

I really doubt that with have stereo speakers in the 2x, the sound levels are still mid to low though.

Temasek's CM7+vadonka's eTana kernel sounds best.
As supercurio said before,cm10/4.04official has changed the audio sampling rate to 48kHz which leads to poor SRC and poor audio quality which is important to me as daily players.I remember that Vadonka once could change his sample rate of his CM7 kernel,but the dev seem haven't found the way to change the sampling rate on CM10/4.04.Glad that someone raised the question as the sound quality is the only thing stopping me from using ics.
It would be great if someone is going to fix it.
Also,supercurio has seemingly lost his interest in continuing voodoo for 2x either for new Kaudio driver or support of ics.Can it be ported to a flashable zip?Big Thanks for it.
I use the 2x as my daily music driver with TF10.
With any rom that suports voodoo sound...
supercurio seems that is not going to bring us their implementation of Voodoo in CM10 and above : (
we never really even had voodoo sound, in our version only the amplifier controll worked, which is more like voodoo loud..
sad panda
AW: Which rom has the best sound for you?
Is anyone on tweetypeeks Chuck Norris rom? Read he managed beats audio libs on his cm 7.2 rom. Ironically I knew him as a dev from the defy forum

O2x has only 1 main speaker out n that's called mono.
I wouldn't mind that if it wasn't so weak and distorted at high (cough)
volumes.
FWIW mind you no software tweak can do any major difference to a small speaker like
this phone has. Of course nothing stops you to use an external sound system, that's
were software can do magick in the limits of course of the D/A conv. the O2x has to
offer, which is not that bad actually.
You can use the hdmi to bypass the D/A converter or even bluetooth anytime of the day though...
what you talking about there is 2 speakers, and the hp jack 3.5mm is stereo also

If you kindly tilt your phone. - i suggest you got a lg p 990 not su 660. - there will magically appear 2 - in words two - speakers to the left and right of your micro USB jack... further no need to say that the tech specs if you check them online clearly say "stereo speakers"
For further notice size doesn't matter.
But it shows that you have clearly no idea about actual audio technic and still think a speaker must be"this big" to do a good sound work.
That don't need BTW that I think this speakers are spectacular or something. But I think they got more potential...

I don't think so. As i know, p990 has just one speaker, another one is just micro (which looks like second speaker).
About sound quality. I use dual boot with old boot just for voodoo sound. 1 rom is wiui with etana kernel which supports voodoo. I am using this rom only for music and second pa build4. We have a lot cm 10, 10.1 for old boot and i think it's enough for those people who really needs them and voodoo.

Size in speakers is very crucial as it defines the lowest frequency it can reproduce.
I don't want to get more technical about it but the bigger the speaker is, the lowest can get frequency wise.
As for all the other stuff I stand to my previous post.
If you don't mind, being cocksure about stuff is ridiculous in my book.
The speakers (ear speaker + main speaker)in p990 is low quality, the audio output has nothing to do with the speaker if this is ok with you that is.
Good luck.
but saying its mono is just wrong
Why? It's not stereo and it sums to mono...
How do you call that? Anyway...

P.S.: if you don't get the meaning of that re-read and re-think about this sentence. It does totally make sense
cm 10.1 is loud but not that gud.
i use stock rom with philips app and earphone which make very gud sound output never hear before even on voodoo sound

yes your right, it very well could be summed mono, however. there is 2 speakers right? so its still stereo. L (L+R) R (R+L) or whatever phase

Well if you read the post than you would have read that the so appeared second speacer is just the mic what appers as a speaker due it´s looks. I googled it and only a German site labled it falsely as Stereo speakers.
So this is realy akward that a phone life MOTO Defy has so much better and louder audio quallity in phone speaker and headphone sound.
I´m a real adiophile and i suggesting to get another phone just because the poor audio quality :crying:
I have a pretty limited knowledge on this but from what I have read if both uses the Snapdragon 600, then the sound quality (with headphones) would be the same? Or would there be any differences which makes one better than the other?
Soundchip... whatever...
HTC One = AMP + Stereo Speakers !
I think the word ur looking for is DAC [Digital to analogue converter]..Samsung uses WOLFSON [one of the best]..Dont know about HTC but it must be great from what i am seeing.
LOL I have a one x and the sound with an audio mod that allows 96khz resampling is the best audio that i have heard yet. It beats my friends galaxy s3

I dont own a sg3 so I dont know if they have the wolfson DAC, if not that would be the main reason why. What audio mod are you using, acid or beats audio or something else? My personal opinion along with my buddies when comparing my note 2 against their phones is that the note 2 blows away the competition as long as I have voodoo sound support. Nothing can compare to that audio mod, I will personally slap anyone that things the beats audio mod or the beats audio headphones are actually good

NA S4 vs One: The HTC One wins. They have the same DAC, but htc has an external Amp.
Int. S4 vs One: S4 probally wins, but no1 has tested yet. If it has a Wolfson DAC, S4 wins, but by a small margin I would assume.

Generally, Wolfson > Qualcomm > Tegra. HTC One has qualcomm but I am interested to see what they have done with their "beats" stuff hardware wise
Beats is a stupid software mod which increases the trebble and bass..there are no real sound improvements in it. Marketing gimmick.

HTC have made an effort to provide good sound hardware (eg the speakers) so I wouldn't be surprised if we see some improvement over the One X. A dev who went to the launch event in the US told me that the sound through headphones was very impressive compared to his DNA

Normally I would agree with you 100% but in this case I think you are wrong. Beats sucks, but the audio for the One has been completely redesigned in-house and the drivers are made by HTC specifically for the in-house chip and made to interface with Beats.
But don't take my word for it; if any one is farmiliar with Myriam Joire (a.k.a tnkgrl) of Engadget you know she's a programmer and has a background in Audio, she knows here stuff better than 99% of the people here. On the latest mobile podcast (linked below, around 35 mins in) she talks about how its the by far the best audio you will get on any mobile device, period. She mentioned it was a league ahead of the iPhone/iPod, but no other devices were even mentioned. I'm not an audio file, but when I hear one make very bold statements like that, its quite impressive.
I would say the One wins by a long shot.

Definitely is the Z5 DAC better than the Wolfson DAC
S-Master HX is an amplifier by Sony, it enchanting Hi-Res alot and it can upscaling Compressed files (like DSEE-HX)
can i ask please so does the sony z5 premium output 192/24bit without down sampling, in other words if i play 192/24bit will it be output as 192/24
can i ask how can one know that this dac is better than a wolfson dac,
over head-fi forum the people there trash the sound quality of the z5 premium comapred to lg v10

Yes it outputs 192kHz 24bit
And I know that Z5 DAC is better because first: DSEE-HX second: wolfson DAC can only output 96kHz 24bit third: the DSP is definitely better
And the LG V10 uses an higher DAC 384kHz 32bit but the CPU will be on full load if it play that, Sony Z5 would be keep cool and play that without any issues
