From my personal experience: No. The headphone output on the Note 4 is ideal for IEM use.

Just for some added detail, I will be using Alclair RSM CIEM's with the following specs:

Four driver three way - 2 woofers, 1 mid range, and 1 tweeter
DC Resistance - 22 Ohms
Impedance @1KHz - 36 Ohms
Input Sensitivity @100mVolts - 110 db SPL
Noise Isolation -26db

Would I be fine using just my phone with these, or would a dedicated DAP be worth purchasing in this case?

Your Note 4 will be more than fine for those.
 
I use my Note 4 with my UM Merlin, which is notorious for having a very low impedance (10ohms) and can be quite fussy with sources.

Okay, that is reassuring! What music player do you use?

Add Viper4Android and its perfect. It doesn't work on Lollipop though.

It does. You just have to change selinux to permissive. Either flash a custom kernel or install selinux mode changer from the play store. But it only works for audio though, youtube videos doesnt work with viper4android on the note 4 :frowning2:

Ha--I probably would have been one of them.  But after spending time with the S6, Note 4 and M9, I think they are all quite good and comparable.

Interesting .
I would like to know which processor I have so does anyone know how to find out?
I hav a Sprint model.

So far I have noticed the sound output as being a notch better than the Note 1,2,3 I had before it.


I find quality good enough that I don't feel a need for external decices..

Connected to my Audio Technica esw9ltd headphones,
I am hearing details that I havent herd before,
which to me says there is an improvement regardless which technology the Note4 implements.

I may be wrong, but I believe all USA Note 4's are using the Snapdragon CPU.

  I don't have the 4, I have the 3 and love it.  My fiancée has the 4 and loves his. He says it's a hair notch above the 3.

me too.  my note 3 still feels like a great phone.   no feeling of having to upgrade or being outdated.  this was, after all, the top speced phone of its prime.

The USA/QualComm version of the Note 3 can drive a desktop DAC like a Schiit Bifrost Uber USB without a powered USB Hub. Sounds great.

Maybe you can borrow his phone for a bit to see what sonic differences exist compared to yours..
