LG G5, Possible DAC or Camera modules. Audiophiles enjoy ?
Some early impressions on the sound: http://www.whathifi.com/lg/g5/review While we weren’t able to A/B between a G5 with and without the Hi-Fi Plus module, we listened to a 24-bit/192KHz recording of A-Ha’s Take On Me, and Glen Hansard’s Winning Streak in 24-bit/96KHz using the B&O-tuned...- michaelf

Need help determining if my new Ultimate Ears Custom In-Ear Reference Monitors are defective.
I'm specifically speaking about DACs in the €200-€250 range and portable, the sources you mentioned cost more but I get your point.- michaelf

So you inherited it, that makes sense, and you probably are the only one here with a US variant, well you and DroidArmy before he sold it. Currently I find myself skipping a lot of albums, when the highs are just too distracting, I had a similar experience with a pair of Sennheiser OMX...- michaelf

I am gonna guess you got it on a contract and the international one was not an option. I do not have noise issues but the again its a different audio chip. I probably should have mentioned on the first post I have the international version. You said about the frequency response of...- michaelf

Yes, I have the international version. Good sound and a removable battery, SD card were the deciding factors when I was buying the phone. I was not aware of the horrors of Samsung ROMs and Touchwiz :)- michaelf

Basically an audio player is easier to search and do research for, plus I can probably test some from friends and at shops. DACs are not so common and I just wanted your personal opinion on the DACs above - the E18 basically as I am only considering USB ones, I too want my input digital :) ...- michaelf

Yeah you told me to do that again and I did but because there was no way to tell what the frequency was on the media player I left it for later and forgot to try again :). I now tried the Youtube one that shows the frequency and I pretty much get the same results as you. So I guess I...- michaelf

I am gonna hold off for the moment on things I can not test, I already went basically blind on the CIEMs so I would prefer something I can test this time, I will try to find something of the sort on the local audio shops. This was in my plans for the weekend when I was going to visit...- michaelf

Hello everybody. For my first post I have some questions about my new CIEM and I would appreciate any help. I recently bought the Ultimate Ears Custom In-Ear Reference Monitors with a Samsung S3 as my main source at the moment until I can afford something better. The reason I post here...- michaelf
