I agree with you my only question is that would a headphone amp get rid of the problem? Be aware i am a noob so if Im totally wrong forgive me.

Unfortunately, the Nexus has no memory slot and 16GB storage is not that much.
Imo a huge disadvantage for the use as a DAP.
 
 

The Galaxy Nexus can be connected to USB mass storage devices.

It will likely interwork with an external USB DAC, even a 24/192 USB audio class 2 device.

high praise indeed for the 4s here!

The 4S is good, but a bit inferior to the 4 in naturalness, and the Galaxy Nexus beats them both, IMO. FYI I owned a 4, and now a 4S and a Galaxy Nexus.

You saying galaxy nexus sounds better than 4s after owning them both? I like that..

I have both sitting right in front of me, and yes, that's my personal conclusion with my Westone ES5 custom IEM. Of course, when sitting still, I still prefer my iPhone 4S -> CLAS/Fostex HP-P1 -> SR71A/ Stepdance/ iBasso DB2->SR71B setups.

An Android kernel developer is trying to enable the USB audio feature (i.e. to allow interoperability between Samsung Galaxy S2 and USB DAC).
He is looking for testers.
[size=8.0pt]"Anyone have a dmesg log when connecting a DAC device? I don't use one so I can't test and get logs. If you need DAC support you'll need to help out here. If not, I can simply remove support for it in 1.4 since it doesn't work right and I can't test it."[/size]

Apparently, the USB audio is enabled on Cyanogen modded Samsung Galaxy S2:

How about Samsung Galaxy S3? Got it last Friday and wondering.

Hallo there..
 
I just bought the Galaxy s2 - it will arrive next week. I am planning to replace my ipod classic with it. I'm using the triple.fi 10
 
As far as I read the Galaxy s2 seems to have a very poor SQ, especially when used with multiple BA InEars.
Therefore I want to buy an fiio e7 (usb DAC) and use it to improve the galaxy's poor SQ.
I read somewhere that android 4.1 is able to bypass the galaxy's own yamaha dac and to transfer the pure signal to an usb DAC. Is that true?
So will I be able connect the e7 to the galaxy's usb port and use the e7's dac, which is said to have a much better SQ?
 
Thank you for your replies!
