I have not really a high opinion of my friends tast since they use Ipods but nonetheless am keen to hear if this combination works and how high do you rate this combination.
Note2 + Glacier = DX100 or is that pushing it. The Dx100 is rather good and expensive.
The Note 2 SQ is fine. A friend and I did an afternoon of volume-matched blind A/B testing with a Note 2 and iPhone 4 and overall the Note 2 had a narrow advantage in our picks. That surprised both of us since we both entered the comparison with a heavy expectation the iPhone would be best, which just goes to show how important blind testing is.The output is considerably more quiet though, in a listening test that isn't volume matched everyone will pick the iPhone/iPod because their output is louder. The Note 2 has Android audio-engine hiss that users of very sensitive IEMs will pick up on, whereas the iPhone (and I presume by the same token the iPod) has a black background.
Through the Glacier via USB audio it'll sound the same as a PC using the same connection I presume, since all of us who have compared PC-connected output via USB with various USB DACs/amps to the same output via an S3/Note 2 have not heard a difference.
