Got glacier connected to S4 (android 4.3) and it is an excellent combiNation.
But now the S4 keeps remind me updating I am afraid if I update to android 4.4 it would not work well with glacier sonically. Therefore, do you have any suggestions or best solutions?

You could root ur phone and put cyanogenmod on. Getting rid of all the samsung bloatware apparently quietens the phone alot which can only be good for your audio. I've been meaning to do this for ages. There is a one click installer for cyanogen on Google play store

I have tried to find the cyanogenmod in google play but could not see it. It is in the website but it's a 200mb size zip file. How is the process step by step? Do you have any links? Thanks.

If you put Cyanogenmod on the phone, you lose USB out, btw.

What do you mean by that?

Cyanogenmod doesn't support USB Audio out with an OTG cable. So you lose the ability to use an external DAC.

I am going back to a stock ROM for this reason.

I heard US GS3 has Wolfson dac installed what about US GS4?

So my question is should I install the software update of my GS4 now since it would not work with Cablepro Horizon to connect to the Aoex Glacier.

Whoa really? OK cyanogenmod is dead to me  
 
I just have found my s3 has slowed down a whole deal since I got it last April. Any tips/software on how to get rid of all the bloatware
and keep my s3 lean and mean?

Buy an iPhone (I just did ).

Is there any other way to connect the glacier to a iphone 5s or do i have to get the 30 pin to lightning adapter and go from there? The size of the glacier is just too convenient compared to the mfi dac/amps. Thanks.

You need an Apple CCK for the lightning connector, then an USB A to Micro USB cable to connect the CCK to the glacier.

 

[andyph666]

Is that to make it work with Glacier's DAC? What if I just want to use the amp and be more portable? Thanks.

 

[BucketInABucket]

Yea that's if you want to use the Glacier's USD DAC. If you don't need that and want to use the iPhone's inbuilt DAC then I think you'll need the Lightning to 30-pin and then use a LOD. It's better to sell the 5 and get an iDevice with a 30-pin connection if you don't want to use the Glacier's DAC imo.

Ah okay thanks. I had the iphone 4s but I wanted an all in one device unfortunately so I sold it :/. Now, I wish i hadn't. Is the DAC that much better than the iphone's internal dac? The CCK lightning to usb doesnt make it very portable considering its more of a cable than an adapter.
