    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...

    I'm specifically speaking about DACs in the €200-€250 range and portable, the sources you mentioned cost more but I get your point.

    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...

      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...

    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 :)

    Yes I skimmed the S3 DAC thread a couple of times, time to read it a bit more thoroughly.   Quote: OK   Will do :)

      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 :) ...

    Thanks again for the help by the way.   I was gonna post this on the previous post but it gets moderated every time I edit because of the links to external sites.

      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...

    Need help determining if my new Ultimate Ears Custom In-Ear Reference Monitors are defective.

    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...

    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...
