[Q] dsp manager vs. sony xloud

Which one is better and why?
Or will both benefit in unique ways?

Power amp. Give it a shot. Best player sound i have found.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

when I had my vibrant I was using poweramp.
Now, with the S2, I removed the stock music player.
And use ubermusic player combined with the equalizer app.

Personally I have no interest in XLoud or Beats.
DSP Manager is perfect, light weight, and easily surpasses the two in functionality. It just needs to be configured right.
Numerous threads state that these two are a placebo / more of a gimmick. From personal use I have to agree. A waste of resources.
BRAVIA engine however is quite a different story

I like player pro, it's pure and no changes to the sound.

Thanks. But I was more concerned with speaker volume and speaker quality and not equalizer stuff or headphone quality. I heard xloud tries to prevent the speakers from sounding tinny but rather more fuller and louder. DSP achieve the same and more is what you are saying?
Does BRAVIA engine makes the video quality look better or the video to perform better (less choppiness or shutter)?

Power amp has it's own dsp

If anyone had any info on why dsp manager is not working at all please give me a response, to me it's a funny app.

Beats audio in non stock player

Hi.
Is there a way to get beats working with player pro? Reason is I really dislike the stock music player and find it poorly designed. Player pro is perfect for me but the beats audio doesn't have any effect.

I would love to know if this is possible!

I am using PowerAmp and the beats are working,probably that it isn't working with all players.Try to check if you didn't disable it.

I'm also using PowerAmp but in PowerAmp you have the ability to disabled DVC (Direct Volume Control) thereby enabling Beats.
Not sure if there is an option like that in PlayerPro

I know there's a few ROMs that have enabled system wide Beats.
As well as PowerAmp, UberMusic also works with BeatsAudio.

I have Player Pro it works fine with Beats. I also using Extreme Sound Enhancer 10.0. If it's not check under the Settings > Audio there you should fine an option something like use ROM sound setting or something like that. Don't have my phone with me to check

Beats and other audio effects are system wide, poweramp does not seem to like beats very much, you can enable sound effects in settings>sound>sound enhancer but the audio effects can only be enabled with headphones.

I have extrme audio as well but I don't see any settings. Can you check on your phone ?

So far I am satisfied with the quality of the sound played with stock player. Bass and treble are perfectly balanced in my ears.

Sound distortion

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone else has this issue, I'm running CM10 and the music quality isn't too bad while running the headphone jack to speakers, ie my car, home. But when I plug my headphones and and try to play with DSP at all it always sounds distorted and sound like the headphones are blown, this only happens after I enable something with DSP, the headphones are fine. I also tested on my zune and my roommates Droid X2, both of which sound much better than my phone.
Any suggestions or solutions would be great, the headphones are sennheiser HD558's

DSP distorts the sound, no way around it. Try poweramp music player, it uses it's own equalizers and settings and has great sound.

At first I only used it because Apollo wouldn't play certain file types that I had, loved it ever since.

I've been using power amp for two years and love it

OK I've been testing it and its great in the EQ setting the limiter is what makes the difference, it stopped music from peaking. Thanks guys

Best Audio Mod for LGOG

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

Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

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?

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.

how to make nexus 7 loudest

The speaker are to low i even install dsp manager still low. What anyone recommend?

Maybe its your device. My device is plenty loud even at the loud setting.
Is it a problem across different apps that stream audio?
You can try volume+ I guess

Wait for KingBeatZ to release their sound mod for the new Nexus 7 if they will. On the old Nexus 7 it made a significant improvement to the speaker volume.

Usually I'm right on front of the tablet so sound have been am issue. I guess if you are trying to use it as something to listen to from across a room it may not fair well.

A user posted that it worked on their 2013, so that is a good sign. Must be pretty universal, the dev should post it in here.

Noozxoide EIZO-rewire has 3 configurations for line out, bluetooth, and wireless. Lots of custom features, runs on N7 FHD and its free.

When you look at a graphic eq you will see all of the toggles, they correspond to a frequency, from low to high (left to right). By moving a control anywhere higher than 0 you are effectively making that frequency louder. So by dragging the controls on the right you are boosting the high frequency sounds ( speach/singing/cymballs) and by dragging the ones farther to the left you are adjusting bass and mid levels. Just play with it, just be aware that by boosting the gain too high you could end up making your music/movies sound distorted. Have fun!
And a tip, put on a style of music that you listen to the most while you make changes so that you can hear the difference that your changes make.

I don't really use poweramp but I think there is a volume override is settings---audio---advanced...Try that, poweramp has its own engine that you have to disable.

Well in doing a little search through the forums it looks as if the developer has set poweramp to not work with 3rd party dsp. You may just have to find a different player that you like that supports dsp. They have a forum with the answers to your questions I am sure. Sounds like your up and running though.
