Okay so I am wondering what people have as their powerAMP EQ settings to see what's the best. Any ideas?

mine is set on the rock eq with the tone disabled
Mine is set on rock with tone on and the treble all the way up with some bose headphones sound great

I have the dr Dre beats. Choosing rock + putting bass and treble all the way up seems good except for songs with already high BASS. I might put the preamp up but this songs way better than just cranking everything up.

I've been hearing a lot about that app. I think I might buy it.

IMHO I think it is definitely worth the money. Better than stock and somewhat better than mixzing. If it loaded the album art like mixzing and have a cooler widget it would be perfect.

I use the rock setting also.
i use the rock setting and customize it to have the bass/treble setting in there as well by putting up the bass and treble a bit... WAAAAY better than the stock app, i love this one.
i think its easily one of the best apps on the market.

The icon can be modded which I might do after I get poweramp
The icon looks good. It is the widgets and lock screen widget I don't like.

You can modify those also
How do you do that?

Sorry for not adding much different here, but I found the stock app to be way too limited for my tastes - sound is okay but I love a good tweak and the stock has nothing.
I'd say to anyone wondering if it's worth it, simple answer: YES!
Even before playing with any settings this app has a richer quality to it. Then there's all those options if that's your bag of course.
To get back on topic though; I've assigned the Rock Equ (Tone on, Limit on, Bass about 3/4 and Treble cranked to Max) to Wired Headset but have on the odd occasion also assigned other settings to individual songs as needed. Assigning different settings to Speaker, Wired, BT or Song - Seriously awesome option!
Now if only I could find a set of phones that allowed me to use the in-line volume controls, any suggestions?

Hey,
Anyone use power amp for music? What's the best settings for max volume but no distortion? i listen to mostly rock and pop
Thanks

I do not think that there will ever be one perfect setting regardless to the genre of music you listen to. Your best bet is to use the presets and tweak from there.

The iphone 4 always sounds more whole if that makes sense? Perhaps its best using the stock player? Lol

PowerAmp has been the best music player I've seen and used on a phone till date...
Just did a back to back comparison with the stock player and I have to admit the stock player sounds better to me.

+1 and by a great margin as well.
Dont think lyrics are available yet itll be in an update.
Poweramp + audioboost is a great combination!
What preset do you guys use?
I tweak the equalizer to suite my ears.
I am trying to buy it myself but market restrictions suck. Is there any other way to purchase?

Thanks, that should be nice additional feature.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.

So I'm writing this cause I've tried everything to make my music sound perfect. I only listen to metal and some grunge rock. Can some post a pic or tell me what's the perfect or have a deep clean bass when the metal breakdown happens. I use dsp manager and I use power amp full version and I want a the best setup. Please and thank you.

This I believe is a matter of opinion. What sounds good to me MAY NOT sound good to you. My suggestion is to play around with DSPManager until you get the right setting for YOU because in the end, is YOU that needs to like it

Use an app called equalizer the proversion allows you to save custom presets you can turn it on and off and it works really well and has 2 Widgets with the power button on them, I've been using it for a while and can get better sound from it with a cheap pair of radioactive earbuds than I get out of my beats headphones with the beats audio processor in my laptop

IMO, don't use DSP Manager at all if you want the best sound. It's a software enhancer, which means it's digitally enhancing the sound, making you think it's better, but in actuality it's just distorting it.

+1 on this
This is extremely noticeable on high end audio equipment (and no I don't mean beats headphones)
I just went out and bought a small amp for my headphones and all is well again

I'm using Equalizer with Skullcandy Hesh headphones, the boost in audio is very noticible and it offers presets along with effects like bass booster and virtualizer.

The gs3 has a superb built in dac audio chip does it not? plays my UM Merlins beautifully
Sent from a Galaxy SIII presented by Sprint.
Hi guys,
How does everyone find the volume level with headphones? I find the galaxy s3 is far too loud on volume 1 to listen to. On my s2 I use fine volume control, but I hear it doesn't work on the s3 on jelly bean. Does it work on the note 2? Does siyah kernel work? As can reduce the volume in ex tweaks. Trying to work out which phone to buy, but they all seem too loud! Have tried different headphones too, and same issue. Thanks a lot guys

well of course kernel is neat, however I wouldn suggest volume boost. That comes with speaker buzzes. Anyway, stock is pretty loud tho.
if you're trying to reduce the volume, user poweramp for your music, then go into the equaliser, and drop the master volume amplifier (the adjustable bar on the far left) to the lowest setting to reduce the volume further.
alternatively, download any equaliser app and drop the master volume or drop all the eq frequencies to reduce the overall volume.
Thanks, power amp is indeed quieter. Just wish that it would work with dsp manager...

Why would you use dsp manager when poweramp has the best equalizer out there
Dafuq u r buying a phone just for a smaller volume level?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
No but it's a big factor for me. Power amp is ok, but to my ear dsp manager is noticeably better. I've bought some new headphones, not inner ear and this has helped with my issue greatly. Seems inner ears may just be too sensitive for android. Neutron with my new black box headphones seems perfect. Still looking at the note 2. Thanks for the help everyone, that Perseus kernel is really handy, as I still need to be Able to reduce the volume level in extweaks or something similar to minimum.

There are quite a couple of audio mods for the LGOG, I would like to know which one do you guys prefer best?
I currently have the Beat audio mod but I only chose this I had great experience with this mod before.
Are the other mods any better?
Please share your comments.

I found that incorporating the beats Audio scripted in my old s2 always outrageously distorted the bass, even while using beats Audio headphones. Now I just use power amp and it does the trick

I tried so many mods like acid and beat but the best so far is power amp like kmull4 said. You get powerful bass and rich highs. It actually adds more power to those Hz.
I've only used Acid +nooxide and love it. As long as you don't push the effects too hard. The" wider" sound option is actually achieved by manipulating phase coherency which if overdone will result in some may nasty sounding audio. I'm curious about power amp. Are you guys dust using the built in eq settings on the app?
Ps: I'm an audio engineer so I'm always looking for the best sound possible
Yeah built in. Way better than DPS manager

For me yes. I've used a lot of music apps and I feel that this is the best one. Although in your case being an audio engineer, you might want to check out jet audio in the play store. It has more options to change the sound.

Are you really surprised that Beats distorts bass with all the artificial bass added in for no reason in the first place?

Lol no I'm not, but I read that some people claimed it gave them better clarity. Unfortunately that wasn't the case for me

Thanks for the heads up on jet. I'll check that it out for sure. The ui is kinda meh though but that's secondary to the sound IMO. I am really digging noozy player. Especially the podcast section. That's a nice feature.

I have really good headphones that support a high current/voltage. I put up the dB on the DPS manager and it gets distorted. With the poweramp it does make the freq. more clear and powerful.
Poweramp and good headphones are all I've needed for clarity. Even without fiddling with EQ the clarity is good.
