Oh yeah I'm definitely looking at the Nex S model but the original poster stated that his Nex model 1805 (which is often listed as Nex S online) didn't have the CS43199...his had the CS43130. I had not found any other reports of this so just wanted to be sure.

VIVO NEX mobile phone flagship version of the HIFI chip: CS43199

CS43199 should be the mobile version of the CS43198, which doesn't include an amplifier.
While the CS43130 is a combo DAC + Headphone amplifier.

It would be interesting to know where did he saw the CS43130 stuff ( On the package ? On the device itseft ? ...)

Thanks for the link-

I'm wondering where the CS43130 info came from too. I'm not aware if the audio hardware is listed anywhere on the device or in the box. Been watching YouTube unboxing videos and I don't see anything listed on the exterior packaging (audio wise) other than potentially a model number (1805) if the package is in English.

Does anyone know what impedance high gain mode is triggered at on the Nex S? I saw some posts about using cable adapters to trigger the mode, but just curious.

I believe it is 50 or 60 ohm.

Good to hear- was hoping my KSC35 and Monk Plus would take advantage

A really strange question. I'm really happy with my G7 but I've found old but good pair of AKG K145 and the volume really low. Which amp (portable) may I use with them?

Have you tried to force high gain mode using an adapter?

no. may you suggest a good adapter?

Better. I can suggest you to keep an eye on this thread. Apart from good cables there're gorgeus custom adapters (and other cheaper).
The database of cables built up by @hakuzen is very handy in this regard and you can always ask there for what you need.

No as long as you dont use andromeda or very sensitive in ear.

Actually any short cable extender works.

You want wide soundstage or 3d soundstage.

LG is wide. Axon is 3D.
