Waiting on my note 4 atm.
Sadly it will be a work phone though so I cant root it

 

[warrior1975]

Don't sweat it. I haven't rooted mine either. I don't believe I will either.

Is the Wolfson DAC on the Exynos version good enough to the point where buying the Dragonfly v1.2 DAC would be a bit of a waste and not really worth the money?

Anyone know if we can get voodoo sounds on this?

Not Voodoo but Viper4Android. Same thing but better than voodoo.

Right then.

Just got my HiFimeDIY Sabre dac.

Adds a much fuller sound right from the dac itself, and seems a bit more powerful.

Edit - Yup better least a move in the right direction.

A cheap way to improve the sound for sure.
Works with all players I've thrown at it.

Obviously I'll need to use an amp to get the best from it, I'll see if I can find an audio lead for my p4

Edit - Ok no amped yet as im awaiting a cable, but after trying various phones it's hard for me to pinpoint the improvement, as it varies with what phones im running.

I'll leave any more impressions go until i run it amped, least i'll have a much better idea of what it's capable of.

Is it verified to be working on the note 4?
 
I tried looking on xda, but page kept timing out when searching 

 

[gikigill]

Verified on the Snapdragon, not sure about Exynos. Just download the apk and install. Root is required.

 

[Clyvesz]

Finally Im done reading. And still left with no answer for my question. So here it is.

Source: Note 4 Snapdragon
IEM: Westone UM Pro 30
Music: Spotify or maybe Tidal, and will buy some FLAC at hdtracks or where ever.

And now my question.
With UM Pro 30, do I still need an external DAC?
If yes, whats the most portable DAC? Hopefully same size as note 4 so I can rubber band them together.

Thanks

Leckerton's models seem to be quite compact, as well as some Fiio's. Considering the lack of noise and clear sound, extra gear may not do too much for you, considering the price.

Dunno if you have sold the N4 already, but if not, why not trying different firmware? If you are in UK guess yours is N910F, there is a newer firmware K4, yours might be J4, and you don't need rooting for this, my 2 cents

 

[skeptic]

Really happy with my t-mobile note4 so far. Definitely the best audio quality I've heard from an android phone with no audible hiss when using westone 4's. Even better - the pairing with my ath-es10s. I think this is a mobile setup that will keep me happy for a good long while.

New toy syndrome may be interfering with my objectivity, but two days in, I am loving this device and t-mobile. RIP note2, and good riddance to verizon. Running nova launcher but unrooted.

You don't have to wait if you don't want, just flash this new K4 firmware, you can always go back if you are not happy
