  So now that Samsung Galaxy S6 specs are out, does anyone have any opinions? I assume we really can't judge it before it gets tested directly by us audiophiles, but has anyone found info on whether they phone naturally supports 24bit FLAC, and anything else that may be relevant?

 
Sadly they promoted camera, screen etc. but nothing about audio so far. I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Sammy's recipe : Exynos+ dedicated wolfson audio chip =

                          Snapdragon + integrated Qualcomm audio chip =

 
The S6 should use one of the latest Wolfson chip, which should (MUST !!! ) be better than the one in the S5, naturally 24/192 will be supported !
I'm waiting for the first review

Officially, there is no such thing as Wolfson any more.

I have not heard anything about plans for after the merger. There might be a better shot of getting a "Wolfson" DAC in a new iphone, since Cirrus has been their provider recently:

Hi guys,
 
Considering Note 4 Exynos or Alpha for my 846s... 
 
Which one sounds better?
 
I wanted S6 Edge before but it seems like sound isn't that good.

Most reviews states that the Note 4 is crap on SQ and that the Alpha has one of the best SQ on the market. Go for Alpha

Really? That's weird

Do not get me wrog, alpha sound really good, a little bit better than Note 4, but to my opinon Nexus S has batter audio: sound is more warm ( I like that), highs are more smooth and detiled, bas is faster, whole sound is more balanced. alpha and Note 4 have more forwarding sound... I think Nexus S have a much better amplifer than Alpha/Note 4

Alpha sound a little bit better (better implementation) and it is louder. But over all is not much diference at least to me.
