Do some audio tests too !
And don't forget that voodoo report

So I wanted to see what people's opinions were.

By bassy....you mean you feel voodoo sound is making your headphone less bassy?
As voodoo sound has a bass boost functionality - no idea for your device...but at least for the i9000 it does.

I mean that the amp needs more power... Bass quality is good

Just had two hours with the S3.
 
Can confirm USB audio is not working out of the box, despite the presence of the drivers.
 
More thoughts to come.

Thanks!
 
 
Bad news!
 
Good news! The Google request "Enable USB Audio" has reached the Top 10 of the Google issue rankings

OK, managed to string together another few sentences about the S3 for those of you interested in the phone beyond it's audio aspects.

Thanks for the insightful review! gunna wait for your much detailed information on the sq

GSMArena review is up, their RMAA results look good (although there are flaws in their methodology, and many limitations to RMAA in any case, but it's the best indicator we have so far):

My reason is that it would be simply dishonest to try and say anything based off the time I had. All I can really say is that it didn't seem bad.
 
It'll take some hours of A/B listening to get a reasonable read on the S3s audio quality, and anyone who tries to put their opinion out there with any authority based on a few minutes of listening such as I had should not be trusted.

Totally agree. You can't just give a review for audio quality in a couple of hours. Whenever I've tried to do that I always need to edit/supplement my initial review within the next couple of days/weeks.
 
I just hope that wolfson gets done justice. And I really really hope the US version still comes with the wolfson.

Anyone know what the output impedance of the phone is? I've got a galaxy s infuse and the output impedance affects my IEM's - TF-10.

TF10 is 32ohms, not something I would call high impedance. Though it may help, any modern smartphone shouldn't need an amp.
 
to answer your question....sorry I don't know the exact number but you shouldn't worry
