I agree with you my only question is that would a headphone amp get rid of the problem? Be aware i am a noob so if Im totally wrong forgive me.

Imo a huge disadvantage for the use as a DAP.

 

 



The Galaxy Nexus can be connected to USB mass storage devices.

It will likely interwork with an external USB DAC, even a 24/192 USB audio class 2 device.

The 4S is good, but a bit inferior to the 4 in naturalness, and the Galaxy Nexus beats them both, IMO. FYI I owned a 4, and now a 4S and a Galaxy Nexus.

I have both sitting right in front of me, and yes, that's my personal conclusion with my Westone ES5 custom IEM. Of course, when sitting still, I still prefer my iPhone 4S -> CLAS/Fostex HP-P1 -> SR71A/ Stepdance/ iBasso DB2->SR71B setups.

An Android kernel developer is trying to enable the USB audio feature (i.e. to allow interoperability between Samsung Galaxy S2 and USB DAC).

He is looking for testers.

"Anyone have a dmesg log when connecting a DAC device? I don't use one so I can't test and get logs. If you need DAC support you'll need to help out here. If not, I can simply remove support for it in 1.4 since it doesn't work right and I can't test it."

Apparently, the USB audio is enabled on Cyanogen modded Samsung Galaxy S2:
