So guys I've got the note 8 had it since release and love the sound in headphones .how is the audio quality on the note 10 plus guys

 

[mrhizzo]

Are you aware that the headphone jack is gone in the Note 10 line, right?

 

[live1]

No I'm not aware of that dammit Samsung what are you thinking?but hows the sound quality anyway as I want to upgrade and need sound as good as my note 8 or better

 

[genck]

I'm certainly aware, which is why I'm not buying one. I also have a Note 8.

Note 9 is pretty decent for a phone. Perhaps give it a try? I usually use my ES100 with my note 9 for that smooth Asahi Kasei sound. I use my LGV20 as a dap for earphones and when I want to bang bust out my JDS Labs CD5.

Also have you looked into USB C adapters with DAC built in? I have not and probably will not for awhile.

There is no DAC (digital to analogue converter) inside the Note 10/+
The DAC is inside the USB-C earphones you get inside the box or the USB-C to 3.5mm dongle you can buy.

Omg are you serious that sucks I'm not getting a note 10 plus

That depends on the USB-C dongle you buy. It's completely irrelevant to the Note 10. You can buy something like Dragonfly Red/Cobalt or iBasso DC-01 to get an excellent sound.

I got the Samsung dongle, it works fine. Quality isn't hugely different than what I was getting before, If I'm seriously listening I'll use the Hugo2 with my A18t's but for the gym and listening to podcasts the dongle is fine.

If there's no dac, how did it convert it to its speaker?

 

[IgeNeLL]

The stock earphone when first plug it need to update fw and after that it sound different.
For details resolution ) it cannot compared with my dap and iems.
BUT
It sound no thing wrong in term of sound stage and positioning

True, there is a dac but it doesn't have an analog out as a port from an amplifier (like a headphone jack).

My only gripe is UAPP with MQA crashes on my 10+.

Looking forward for FiiO BTR5 with dual ESS dac -Bluetooth to 3.5mm receiver.
