Cheers I guess I was hoping/assuming the E17's ability to expressly switch off charging by USB would mean the E17's battery would fully power its DAC and USB sections with a negligible or nil load on the host phone's USB bus. Alas seems not the case, at least with the S4/E17 combo.

Hi guys, apologies if this has been asked and answered before in the 400 pages of this thread but a bit of skimming and keyword searching drew a blank...   Just got a second hand Fiio E17 which I'm using connected to my galaxy S4 via USB OTG cable. Sound is much improved which is great. The...

@ Danba - that is great news in terms of LG setting an industry precedent in adding HD sound functionality as a point of difference. Nice one LG! Fingers crossed LG's competitors attempt to up their games in response for their future releases. And thanks again for your tireless work providing...

Hi, apologies if this has been addressed already but a quick skim and keyword search of this thread drew a blank...   Qn: Is it possible to switch off the bluetooth transmitter/radio when not using it? i.e. if listening to FM or the internal micro SD for a prolonged period of time, to save...

Success! My S3 confirmed to work with the Headroom Total Bithead DAC & headphone amp.   S3 > USB out > Bithead DAC / Bithead Amp > headphones   Works whether the Bithead is set to run on its own batteries (4 x AAA) or set to run 100% USB powered. The latter is a bit of a surprise as this...

@ Danba re use of S3 with ODAC.   Great that you've confirmed these two work together. I'm seriously considering getting the ODAC to use with the S3 and a portable amp, so would be interested in your experiences re practicality of using this unpowered DAC with the S3.    How do you find...

Cheers for that. Encouraging indeed. Though from my v brief dipping into those threads just now is they look a little nook centric, but if it is wider than that hardware-wise as you say then excellent I may have to give the cryanogen mod a go on my galaxy s. One quick question... powered...

Wanted: real life example of Android phone + USB DAC success?   So can anyone provide a link to an example of where an android phone has been successfully used with a USB dac?  i.e. along the lines of: android phone > usb cable carries digital stream (not analogue) > USB dac > amp >...

I have a galaxy S (I9000 international edition) I've had for 3 months or so.     Just flashed the phone with the Supercurio Voodoo kernel/firmware and what a huge audio quality improvement indeed.  The sound now outdoes my Cowan D2.  I've just posted about it over here...   The firmware...

An emphatic + 1 re droid23's comments that... Quote:   I too have a Galaxy S (I9000 / international version), and just last night for the first time went through the various steps of installing a new firmware / ROM that happened to include the developer Supercurio's Voodoo sound...

Hi, I'm interested in this too - I've a Galaxy S and am looking at the Westones...   Any joy finding a response somewhere and/or buying these and giving them a go with the Galaxy S?    

I've just ordered a Duet, and have read that it is very power-supply (quality) sensitive. Apparently from other Duet (and SB3) owners' experiences to date changing from the stock switching wall-wart PS to a linear power supply, even a relatively cheap one ($20-50), let alone an audiophile...

In contrast to the experiences above, I think I most definitely do have an impedance* problem when using my Shure E5c's with my just purchased 60gb colour ipod (UK model # M9830B/A - which I believe is the equivalent of the latest/current US 60gb model). The issue - a flat, fairly lifeless...

Struggling to get a comfortable (and good sounding) fit with the Shure tips that come with the E5c's...? If so this may be of interest to you. A few weeks back, in near desperation after failing to find a fit that gave me both good comfort & sound with my new e5c's (the tri-flanges alone gave...

Sergey, I'm in the same boat as you - had my new e5c's for some 3 weeks, but am struggling to find a tip/fit which manages to combine optimum sound with acceptable comfort. For what it is worth my observations so far are not dissimilar to yours: (Apologies in advance for this overly long...
