[Q] N9005 Audio Quality? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Could anyone with a Qualcomm version the Note leave an opinion on how the audio fares?
I'm coming from an old Galaxy S1 + Voodoo Sound, will there be a significant difference?

I have the Qualcomm version and it is wayyyyyyyyyyy better sounding than my previous Tegra 3 HTC One X. Played some flac music and I was in audio heaven!

JVC HA-FX101 which I picked for cheap up after reading some glowing reviews over at HeadFi forums.

I can only compare it with my note 1 and i think it's awesome

Has anyone been able to confirm that the AT&T version has the same high-spec audio capabilities as the international variants?

Thanks for the replies. Guess I'll be getting one too (Primarily because my old phone is running out of space )

The review is great, but I can't find a comparison to the original SGS WITH headphones plugged in, so i thought I'll ask around.

Did you bought N9005? I am using N9005 but i think i will buy 2nd hand Galaxy S for music quailty. One my friend still uses Galaxy S for music. If you tried N9005 can you tell which ones music quailty better?

Look at the date of the last post October 2013 and person you are asking not currently active on the forum .

S3 vs One X Video

Both great phones but I prefer the s III looks moot sleek, but I would go for the one x if you like best audio that much.

I did not know the GS3 had half those extra things. Awesome.
S3 audio with voodoo enhancements is much better than hox

Is there a mod for voodoo for the GS3?

It's nothing really. I knew nothing about Voodoo so I thought it was a mod. Realised it was an app that is available on Google Play and will be available when it is available.
That's it. Hope I didn't get your hopes up.

You have led indicator/notif we have it too!! Just get your brain into the hood and see some things and read more before u buy something. Both phones are fuking perfect and have the same specs.Get it over just HOX has Tegra and Sammy has exynoss thats the end of story. you can believe what ever esle u want

No, they aren't all on HOX, in fact most aren't. Watch again.
HTC doesn't have s-beam.
S-beam isn't NFC, it uses NFC to start a Wi-Fi direct connection to transfer files.
HOX doesn't have it.
You should take your own advice and read more before you post about something you don't understand.
Same specs? Don't think so.
S3 beats the **** out of HOX.

Go back to the HOX thread
I had the One X and after a day with the S3 i can say i kills the One X in so many ways. Usebility, sound, screen, so many different options you can choose, better email client, better keyboard, much much better battery life. Don`t get me wrong, the One X isn`t a bad phone at all but the S3 is superior to it.
I have 5,5 hrs. screentime after the 1st charge :victory:

Both email clients have their advantages over the other. The gs3 is a great phone but:
The screen is nowhere near as readable in bright conditions (and the dark themes are not helping)
The radio on the One X is heaps better. Has more bars and I can make calls where the Samsung drops out.
Haven't quite decided which one to keep and other than the above points the differences are not that not (except the sd card and battery of course)
Don't know why people bag the gs3 design either.....I think it's just fine!
If Samsung had put the best materials in SG3, would not discuss what the best phone. That's my opinion.
Yesterday Ive put galaxy s3 and hox side by side with a friend and now my friend wants too trade, but I still don't Luke Samsung
I don't like the design, the GPS performance and the UI. Still a lover for sense. Inside on an old building ive got 2bars off network and none on samsung. I make a call and didn't work on samsung.
Bluethoot integracion with my fiat works better with hox than samsung. For some reason I can't copy my contacts from samsung to my car, that's kill me.
Htc have much more options for personalization than galaxy s3. Ok we can put cm9 and miui and transforme this phone's completly and turn daily use the same cheat
The things I like on samsung its only 3. Dialer with 3g video call, better camera on video and the back speaker its much better
That's my review

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S4 Audio DAC chip ?

My guess is that the (US) version with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor will use the build-in audio DAC in the Krait SoC, and the (EU) version with the Samsung Exynos 5 octa processor will use a separate Wolfson Audio DAC
-Sam-
US version uses Qualcomm's native audio. No Wolfson.

Wait for international version. Very less information about that so far.

It will be as I was (logically) guessing
The "secret" International version will be the one to get or the One from HTC
The ONE will have Krait audio also -- probably same as US GS4.

That's my guess too, but I'm anxious to hear confirmation.
Is the audio completely within the Krait SOC, or does it use an external WCD93xx chip like MSM8960 etc. ?
Can I ask this question here please, I don't think it warrants a new thread...?
What does the Galaxy S4 (for those who have heard it) sound like on loudspeaker for audio, like music and video etc., when compared to other devices generally, excluding HTC One?
I'm not familiar with Samsung at all. Are they one of the better quality devices, how did the S3 rank against others?
Thanks, just wondering!

To you and the guy asking if the s4 will have good loudspeakers...I have yet to hear speakers on any phone...here's an analogy(right word?) You don't buy a laptop expecting good speakers, so you shouldn't buy a phone expecting good speakers...I mean a phone really can't fit good sounding speakers...then again I may be a little harsh as I am somewhat of an audiophile...studio monitors for my computer speakers and studio headphones for my music on the go...

While that's true, there are relative differences between the "quality" of the sounds coming from these devices speaker setups. Some ARE better than others. I think that was the intent of the question. I MO one of the weakest areas of Samson's devices are the internal speakers. HTC seems to be addressing that.

based on images I have seen the loudspeaker seems larger than the one in the S3
the DROID incredible (original) had a nice speaker (could even output some decent lows)
Samsung Omnia 2 had some of the best speakers (Stereo baby!!!!) I have ever heard in a mobile phone.
even though I am not a huge fan of Bose™ , they could probably create some nice clarity out of some micro waveguide design

I agree, Wolfson or bust!
All of the GS4's internal are pretty much the current top of the line stuff, if they cheap out on the DAC, that would be quite absurd. I read that manufacturing cost of GS4 is higher by 15% from GS3, let's just hope it will translate to the stuff that we will get.
i definitely agree to the above posts. wolfson or nothing! i'm still using my nexus s because of it and voodoo of course. however, i gave my S2 to the wifey because of the inferior sound quality. she doesn't care anyway.
hope you're reading this sammy.

I just sent my S2 back to Optus (carrier) & cancelled my contract. I was extremely disappointed with the sound on it, after having the S1. Glad I kept it. It's my hard rockin' baby...

How big a Difference can a DAC make?

Hi Guys.
I'm wanting to chuck my iPhone 4s at a wall and get a S4.
Being from Australia, I understand that only the Snapdragon 600 with the Krait DAC. I have quite a bit of FLAC recordings I want to play off the phone and was wondering if waiting for the Exynos with the Wolfram WM5102 is really worth it. I use SE535 and Westone 4 more than any of my other headphones.
The CPU isn't an issue for me its more the DAC that is holding me back. Is there enough of a difference in quality?
Any advice you guys can give would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

I had read that thread... I was really hoping for some real world feed back... maybe comparing the Krait to the Wolfram in the SIII and what not... ideally i would love to get the one with the best SQ..
out of curiosity... are you able to bypass the DAC with an external unit?

Swyped from a minimalist S2
I'm also from Australia and got my S4 yesterday.
I have some FLAC stuff that I put on both the S3 (Quad-Core with Wolfson) and the S4 (Quad-Core with Qualcomm) for comparison - I listened to both through a set of Bose QC15's.
Honestly, there was a A LITTLE bit of difference in the mid and high frequencies, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it was better or worse, just different - and I'm pretty anal about my audio. I'm pretty impressed with all aspects of the S4 currently, and the audio is no exception. You won't be disappointed.

Good to know. I picked mine up today so ill get to play with it later today. I wonder though, the QC15s are subject to Bose's emphasized mids and highs. I'm going to spend a few hours testing them with my se535 and westone 4s and then move onto my vmodas and grados
No, the S3 LTE (I9305) uses the same Wolfson DAC as the i9300.

Lol I don't get it too. My phones are louder! But it sounds good with headphones.
Thats really disappointing. Can you give us a reading with a db meter.
The best I will be able to do is a db test with a db test app from the play store. I'll post a video as soon as I can.
If this tablet was for me and not my 9 year old son, I would've returned it asap just because of how low the sound is. My mytouch 4g is way louder.

I'm guessing you have a custom ROM and Kernel on your Note 2 as you are on XDA forum.
Do you have STweak installed? It be unfair to compare Galaxy Note 2 Modded Speaker to a Stock Nexus 7. Unless it's stock as well.
I just sold my Note 2 to buy this N7 2013, volume is comparable. Without having them side to side i would say they were the same volume wise. I have found the sound on this tab quite good.

I guess it's alright, but nothing special. Probably does a decent job.
For a $750+ device, I would really appreciate the Wolfson DAC, especially since I do consider myself an audiophile. The Yahama Codec in the S2 and Original was awful, haha.
I was really hoping for a similar quality of audio in the Note 4, there is just so much you can do tuning a wolfson chip that can't be done with the soc snapdragon- I recently got into some of their documentation and was able to adjust the bands of the "Retune" equalizer of the wolfson DAC at least in the Note 2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/adjust-parametric-equalizer-wolfson-dac-t2903392)
It seems like upgrading to a Note 4 at least for the USA models is a step back as far as audio goes.

Ehhhhhh. I made that available for both the S3/N2/S4 and even calibrated the rear speaker frequency response for those devices.
Not my fault that other devs refused to adopt it (similar to the display controls). I can get the whole thing running on the N4 in like 1-2 hours once I have it in my hands.
If you are truly an audiophile you need to go and by a separate dedicated dac. Me personally, I will be happy if u can get vyper to work.

I use mine with a diy cmoy amp and a pair of JVC HA-S500 (cheap but cheerful), like I did with the S3. I'm quite glad I went for the exynos after seeing this thread, I wasn't aware of any differences in audio quality between the two.

Sorry for not giving you credit, I looked for days and couldn't find a thing--if you give me the link I will update my post.

He will get Exynos version.
Andrei's Perseus kernel FTW, the audio quality from the Wolfson DAC on my Exynos S4 with Perseus + Synapse is incredible.
(If this TRULY matters to you, DONATE to the cause... I have already, and I don't even own the device yet!: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/note-4-exynos-development-device/x/8868000 )
so the s2 i9100 had a wolfson? must have been one of thier failures, because my s2 sounds like ass...
