No tear down and BOM analysis ahs been done yet. So no one knows.

Apple 338S1117 is the name of the chip. Doesn't seem to be a Wolfson frown.gif
Nonetheless, excited for tomorrow biggrin.gif gotta try out the earpods. I'm really curious about the fit

  • Did someone ask for a close-up of the Apple 338S1077 Cirrus audio codec?

 

I'll have my iPhone 5 tomorrow, and I'll compare SQ with the iPhone 4

I expect the same from the new ipod touch...
Its going to be a Sammy with Wolfson and voodoo...
I only hope that the galaxy player 5.8 comes with a Wolfson like it's smaller brother, the 4.2 and not like the 5.0 that carry an yamaha CODEC.

I don't really notice a difference in SQ. The only thing I can hear (and I may be imagining this) is a slightly fuller sound from the iP5. I tested this using my Vsonic GR07
