Coming from a Fascinate and Charge, I loved having Voodoo Sound to enhance my headphone experience. I was wondering what kind of audio chip does the Nexus have? Is it like the Wolfson? Or better/inferior?

Read this. In short, it uses TI DAC. Reported to have good quality.

Question: If I use a bluetooth stereo headset, will the audio chip of the phone or music devices in general matter anymore?

No it won't matter anymore. All DAC dutes will be handled by the bluetooth headset.
Where did you learn to root your Fascinate? Ive been trying for the past 4 months and its impossible. I really want voodoo sound

Anyone tried the S2 with this bluetooth device?
Satisfied?
Other suggestions?
Thanks in advance /Voz
I have and its an absolutely brilliant headset well worth the money plus its got multi-point so you can connect 2 phones to it

Sounds, good, prob means I can have it connected to PC as well then, will order one tonight.
Very strange I have much worse sound quality in d975 than directly through the phone. However this might be a general bluetooth issue rather than specific d975. Eg with my 3gs it was impossible to use a bt headset.

Edit: A bug in S2 - turn of WiFi and it works much better. However, not very satisfied with soundl quality but probably more a problem with S2 bluetooth. Se further thread "crappy bluetooth..."
I have been considering upgrading from vibrant to GS2, but since I so much enjoy my music on voodoo sound plus powerAmp setup in Vibrant, will it be a let down on GS2 because of inferior DAC? Those who switched from original galaxy s please comment.

Stock music app has an option for 5.1 surround sound which is very good. also i believe the sound card is yamaha brand.

simple....are you an audiophile? I mean a true one. If the answer is yes, then you'll likely be let down because the Yamaha chip isn't as good as the Wolfson according to Supercurio. If the answer is no, then you'll likely not notice the difference
When I had my vibrant, my flac albums sounded absolutely luscious, and I don't get quite the same impression with the sgs2, even before I found out about the yamaha dac. However I left my vibrant like a year ago so this is hardly valid.. I think may have had supercurios sound fix on it too.

Thanks for the replies. I won't call myself an audiophile, but once i had voodoo on, the sound from Poweramp with equalizer tweaked to my liking is very pleasing. I hope SG2 can provide at least 80% of the fidelity.
One more question. Any issues with A2DP streaming to Bluetooth headphones? Vibrant has lower quality over A2DP in spite of having BT 3.0

Dont know about A2DP... but the best bet to answer your question is Supercurio. Hit him up on twitter he'll likely reply. Also if its straight up streaming to bluetooth head phones it completely bypasses the DAC see the following tweet
http://twitter.com/#!/supercurio/status/169484560827027456
Also.. Supercurio isn't able to pull off anything like voodoo sound on the yamaha DAC.. He did do something for the international/at&t version called Voodoo Louder which i believe only boost the output volume of the headphone jack. I don't know if its coming to our SGS2, but I would say its not likely

Hello there,
I would just like to know if the new upgrade, which allegedly also improved beats audio makes the audio performance indeed "an authentic audio experience" or at least better, or its the same crappie crap we had before.
Thank you,
Bye

Really hard to tell if there is an improvement when the source is mp3...
I have the very best digitally made FLAC quality music and Sennheiser HD555, Beats Audio before had some settings like "solo" or some EQ (and of course standard setting), now its just Beats ON or OFF - sound didn't change when its ON it is still awesome loud and clear, maybe a volume dropped a little...

LOL! idk if it was sarcastic or not, but either way that comment made me happy
did anyone knew there is a bug in android? It can not play some kind of music like this one : hulkshare.com/6v8q8htyft4r
I tried it on my Galaxy S2, Xperia & HOX and I was never able to listen to this song's 'voice' part which starts at 0:45
Try to listen this song first on your PC/laptop and then listen it on your android device and let me what you are able to conclude ;D
I had dome cuts while playing music over bluetooth with Spotify on 2.15. I don't have the problem anymore with 2.17.
The galaxy vibant had a wolfson DAC. That thing could output some serious power with some kernal tweaks.
Can we do anything with this junk? (intl gs3 also has a wolfson -- dammit tmobile (we dont))

Just use Volume+ (Sound Boost) from the play store. Its the best purchase ive ever made. Using it now to listen to pandora with some serious sony headphones. Sounds amazing. Also, i havent found a stereo system which could handle all the boosted power. Its really night and day

Is that a dsp? Because I already use dsp manager for equalizing and I dont want to give it up
If I'm not mistaken there is a file or maybe a couple that you can edit to adjust your output. I think I may have seen something about it in the international forum. If I find it again ill post, but I'm sure its out there if you want to look. I just wish I coukd remember which file.

Its better than DSP Manager. IMO.
Hey, I've just heard about this new speaker that will make use of NFC enabled phones to easily pair your device to it via Bluetooth. It was also make use of the apt-X codec which improves the range and quality of audio streamed over Bluetooth (something the s3 and other new devices have)
What do you guys think of this? Personally I think its great they are making some more use out of these newer and perhaps underused features like NFC and apt-X. Hopefully more companies will release similar accessories for your phone.
