iPhone 4S audio chip ? - Page 4

The 4 is very slightly better sounding because of its Lower output impedance. For all purposes they sound the same unless you're driving a 8 or 12 ohm IEM, which the 4 will handle better.

Actually the link you provided was for the iPhone 4. The link for the 4S is below :-

So also a Cirrus Logic chip but according to Wikipedia, it seems to be a different version from the iPhone 4 :-

AnakChan, thanks for the correction.

Don't discount MS, they are the true tablet manufacturer. Apple and android tablets are gizmos. In fact as far as I'm concerned, until you can write on it, it's not a tablet.
Imagine an 800g productive gizmo that you can write on and lasts over 7 hours. I want that, not a glorified reader with a glossy screen.

And the lack of flash was ok for just the phone when it had 600MHz processor, not when it's a dual core ghz machine. Now it's just stupid.
I hope now that Steve is dead, they agree to run flash and throw a USB port on it. I'm just kidding, it's Apple, they'll throw a thunderbolt port on it and charge $70 for an adapter.

Thanks for the information. Was thinking about this just a few days ago. Good to know if I would consider a 4s 

LOL, my post was intended for a tablet thread, wrong window.

Here is the audio benchmark of 4S with 4, Samsung Galaxy S2, HTC Sensation, LG Optimus 2X, Sony Arc S. Optimus 2X has same DAC as Galaxy S, Nexus S, Galaxy Tab, Transformer, ect...

The objective measurements i've seen point to a degradation in channel separation and output impedance in comparison to the king iPhone 4S looks like a step back.It's the magnitude of the back step what i'm trying to assess. Thus subjetive impressions would be appreciated. Specially from users listening thru high end iems.

I had been listening to my iPhone 4S/64GB for months until last week when I rockboxed my 8-yrs-old ipod 5g/30GB. The RB'd iPod 5g (flac's) just blows the iPhone (320 kbps) out of water to my ears using a pair of IE80. Now I only listen to the iphone when I have no choice.

Thanks for your impressions lostid
