If you have a volume adapter such as the one that comes with the SE535 it will work to trigger high Impedance mode. I had already discussed that earlier with a picture to prove it , but i guess people have missed it.

Here's a tip to trigger Higher Impedance with potentially any set of headphones. I have a set of Shure SE535. So what you do is plug the analog volume adapter that should have came with your SE535 retail package. That will enable higher Impedance mode which can be verified on sound options...

    Thanks for the reply. I couldn't find anyone to elaborate what differerences, if there was any between the 5, 5.5.   Who knows, maybe placebo?

Anyone that has had experience with both the iPod 5 video and 5.5 could share their opinion? I was always under the impression they were mostly identical (including their DAC) with only a few differences(search feature, brighter LCD, etc) I searched the forums and found some contradictory...

Edit

    Almost same exact setup    Purchased both HeadStreamer and MicroStreamer, returned one and kept the other (Micro). 

Both Microstreamer and Headstreamer confirmed working on stock Galaxy S3 i747 AT&T without the assistance of Audio Recorder Application.    Btw Micro > Head         Edit: Also Audio GD Sparrow AMP/DAC version "A" works perfect with Audio Recorder app. 

Wow, excellent news! I'll be sure to try it out in a few mins and will report back with results. Thanks for the update.:) Update: No luck here with an Audio GD - Sparrow TE7022. I will give it a try another time. :(

Thank you for the reply mate! Forgive me for being a noob and asking another dumb question. I do not have a IEM at the moment. What about if i decide to drive my pair of HD650's instead? I see that seller has the option of other impedances beside 75ohm. Regards

Quote: I plan on going the same route as you for a portable DAC setup on my S3 international as my Audio GD is not well supported.   What is this $10 resistor you are referring to? I'll be sure to grab that too (hopefully from a US seller) as I order the Headstreamer this week.  ...

My first true dedicated portable mp3 player was the Diamond Rio 500 if remember correctly. AAA battery powered and a whooping 64MB of storage! I think i may have had the Diamond 300 at one point as well. Brings me alot of good memories from that time, I miss those days. :smile:

Quote:     Hmm, what do you mean by swapped the cable? What cable did you use after all?   As far as I know the brazillian S3 is just a standard i9300. Check under settings, and about info: it should say i9300 for the Exynos based S3.   ps: I noticed you are located in Brazil, I...

Quote:   That sounds good, and be sure to post logs if you can.

North American version should have a "Qualcomm" sticker on top of the device.   Under Setttings, About: It will display i9300 for the Quad Core Exynos, I-747 for the US ATT S3 and etc... Of course there are many other ways to distinguish, but those are the two obvious I can think off the top...

Quote: Exact behavior as my Audio GD Sparrow.   Don't think an unpowered 2.0 Hub will do any good either, someone correct me if I am wrong. Only way I managed to get it to work was after several disconnect connects (with the hub and without it) till it actually worked,  it works perfect...
