does the sgs2 have anything like this, like the iphone?

the sgs2 has meh quality.. but a direct digital read is perfect quality.. it cant be distorted, so if there is any fault it falls on the speakers. the iphone has a plug that can play music right from the USB plug, does the sgs2 have anything like this?

Yeah, iPhone has a line out dock. So does the iPods. I had been trying to search for "micro usb LOD" but it always comes out with nothing.
EDIT: Changed my search terms and found these 2 interesting links

This Line-In might not work because as it is, its a line in.

The official Samsung dock appears to have a Line Out via the USB port, so it must be possible.

A cheap USB to Lineout will have the same issue, a poor DAC.
What is that in the photo, on the bottom of the adapter? A Micro USB port?

You're forgetting the DAC. You will need to convert the digital data into analog *somewhere* -- if not the phone, then on some other device. If that's what you want to do, then you better be sure that your new DAC is better than the one built in the SGS2, otherwise you're just making the problem worse.
FYI, that iPhone pic is a headphone amp, it is not a DAC. The iPhone dock connector passes line-out analog audio through the dock connector. It is not a digital signal in the way you are thinking. Basically it is the same thing as the regular headphone output; the only difference is that it is not amplified.

A friend of mine was going on about this the other day...I'm sure he had a solution. I'll find out and report back!

A simple search would of found you the answer

Not passing through the Yamaha's preamp it's nice but isn't the output still susceptible to processor and GSM interference?

The official dock for the SGS2 has a line out. Not sure if this is thesame quality as the lineout on the phone itself.

this thing is a bluetooth that play music wirelessly via a2dp all you need is to have aux from your stereo plug into this thing. i just got it today and it is great! i could have just stay with the aux input line but that was too messy, i like things clean and neat looking, so if you like me and want a cool solution, get this thing, dont mind the amazon reviews its the best thing out there right now.
yes you can make call from it, and I test it with my friend, mind you my car is not the quietest (02 rsx = rattles) and yet he can hear me clearly.

Or get this, is pretty cheap right now usually 70+

Works really well if you asked me, and also good reviews.. and there is a usb port for you to plug in your micro-usb to charge the phone at the same time.

But how is the streaming quality?
I tried the Griffin mentioned in the OP and ended up returning it because of audio quality being significantly degraded compared to a wired connection (I'm talking about music here, not the calling quality).

iHome Android Radio / Alarm Clock / Dock

Just thought I would share this. I spotted one of these Saturday @ Bed, Bath and Beyond. It really sparked my intrest, as something us Android fans rarely see the price is decent. I currently have it sitting on my desk @ work next to my monitor with my HTC Sensation on it.
I purchased this for my GS3 that arrives tomorrow, due to the center bottom port.
I will say without a case on it, it has a little lean in it. But nothing bad. I even tried my gf's HTC OG EVO last night and it had a little lean, but charged her phone and was quite sturdy.
Check it out!

Edit: I also had Best Buy price match Bed, Bath & Beyond. Saved me $10. Total of $50.00.
On a Rated Scaled I would give it a 4/5
Sound quality is great for an alarm clock or desk radio. Do not expect to listen to in multiple rooms.

Don't you have to plug in an AUX cable to utilize the speakers? Not much of a dock if you still have to plug another cord into the phone...

I hope the plug rotates.

Yes, it actually does. They tried to make it a little more universal for the broad amount of Android devices.
As previously stated. It does require the 3.5mm to be plugged in for Audio. I agree, it could have been a better design. But this will replace my need for a $20 Office dock and $20 desk radio. Just thought i would share, as i have never seen one before.
After a little research Phillips makes some also. But are much more pricey.

i've been looking for speakers for my bedroom for a while now. i want wifi, though. no cables or docking.

I cant believe there isnt much intrest for this?

The 3.5mm plug requirement kills it for me and for most others is my guess.

It's gotten bad reviews, and the fact that you have 2 wires coming out of your device is ridiculous. I really want to buy the official Samsung speaker dock, but it's too expensive for what I want.
This one may be worth looking into though: http://www.samsung.com/us/video/home-theater/DA-E570/ZA
Haven't seen any reviews for it yet though. But it comes with an S3 dock and an iPhone dock built in and connects to audio via bluetooth.

Agreed. But that option doesnt have an alarm clock or radio. O well. Im actually pretty happy with mine. Regardless of the addtional 3.5mm needed. It works great. To each their own.

I'm not a big fan of having to plug in the audio jack as well, I'm looking at possibly getting the bluetooth Philips alarm clock
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Philips...87&skuId=3044077&st=philips alarm&cp=1&lp=12
A lot of complaints are about the app but you can use your alarm on the phone and connect via bluetooth and it comes through the clock from what I've read. A bit more expensive

Havit HV-H913BT - Noise cancellating bluetooth headset

This is my review of the Havit HV-H913BT noise cancelling bluetooth headset - http://www.amazon.com/HV-H913BT-Cancellation-Bluetooth-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B00OUFPJN4
As I don’t own a car or so, I’ve not been using this type of headset for quite some time and therefore I was worried about that it was a product that was not useful for me. However, after sitting down a while I found some perfect uses for this product. One of the scenarios is when I work in front of my computer and need to make a few calls – holding a phone in one hand or using speaker phone while working is far from optimal. So with that said, let’s talk about the actual product.
First of all, the product came in a box that showcased the actual product through a window made out of transparent plastic. The box was kind of hard to open, and I had to rip it apart to get into it. Inside of the box you can find the actual headset, as well as a few accessories and some documents. The accessories bundled with this headset are a docking station, a microUSB cable, a plastic thing to put around your ear as well as some different kind of eartips.
The headset itself is made out of mainly black plastic, and front have a pearl’ish finish to it. There’s a few buttons as well such as a powerbutton (switch), a all-in-one button and volume keys. On the the back of the headset, the actual earpiece is located as well as charging pads.
When it comes to the sound of this product, I must say that I’m certainly pleased. Nobody I’ve made a call with have complained about the sound, nor have I had any issues with the actual sound quality on my end. The sound is clear enough for calls, but listening on music through this headset is not recommended as there’s a lack of details.
The part about this headset that really surprised me, though, is how comfortable it is and how well it stays in the ear. There’s no issues with the comfort at all, and it does not fall out of the ear. However, to get a good fit you might have to try all the different eartips to find the one that works the best for you.
The only complaint I’ve got about this product is related to the actual docking station, as it’s kind of hard to get the headset to charge in it. Some times, I’ve had to adjust the headset quite a bit before it even started to charge and this might be a problem. I think it would be much better if they just went for the ordinary microUSB charging slot, and skipped the docking station completely.
But overall, I must say that this is a product that have really impressed me – mainly due to it being so comfortable and the sound quality in calls. However, it got its drawbacks but they’re just minor and I’m really satisfied with the product.

Nokia 6 Headphone jack - possible problem?

Hi there. Today I tried for the first time some headphones with my nokia 6 (2018), and the connector is not straight with the chassis. Is this normal? Can someone confirm, please with your device? Thanks in advance.
Sorry about the picture quality.

Hi. thanks for the reply, so your's it's the same? Yeh, mine works fine too. I guess it's a design choice. Thanks again!

Mine seems to be the same. My phone also seems to give off a horrible buzzing noise when plugging into my car aux, so I am curious if my headphone jack is defective or if they really decided to not shield the aux cable signal.

Yeah I checked another unit today and they are all like this. I use Bluetooth in the car so I don't know. But tomorrow I will test that and let you know.

Also, the jack seems to be a little "mushy" and easy to remove... there's not real "click" when you plug your headphone... Did someone note that ?

It's definitely not mushy, and I feel a click when putting headphones into my phone. It does stick a bit out like on your pic though.

I think its to do with the way how the phone curves and so the headphone jack bonds with the body of the phone and not with the screen panel also i find that with my old head phones that have some of the copper worn off the end it tends to slowly wiggle it self out while with my more newer pair that has the copper coating present it works with a click still
I do however have a problem with the earphones that they give you im not sure if its to do with the update on the 02/08/18 but it cuts out and ill then have to unplug and plug the headphones back and it tends to make a really loud click i think its with the earphones and not the device its self.
