[T-Mobile LG G2x] psychoace:
It's been studied and gone through many very scientific tests that the audio quality really only becomes a factor when your using a larger sound system. Headphones show no difference in audio quality when compared unless it's a low bitrate mp3. At 320kbps with headphones you wont be able to get the range you would if you have a much more expensive speaker system. Also FLAC really comes into it's own when played loud. Since we are talking about a cell phone here and most people are only going to use headphones or their car stereo then MP3's are very suitable for the job.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thefulleffect89:
Far superior? I don't know about that. Most recordings are done in WAV files. At least all of mine are.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thefulleffect89:
Troof.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psychoace:
FLAC is just a WAV file in a compressed container pretty much. No audio quality changes and you gain hard drive space. You can even throw in 24/96hz audio in it. If you are running an iPod then look into ALAC.

I use Sennheiser IE-8 in-ear buds and Poweramp player with no eq but will give the Neutron player mentioned a try. I enjoy most types of music and appreciate quality. I use my phone as a player because I cant be bothered to carry around more then 1 device but have been considering an ipod classic as a music player due to the crappy battery life I've been getting on the ICS roms and the greater space in the ipod for lossless formats. The lack of headset button control in the ICS roms is also an irritant as I listen at work and need to pause frequently to interact with co-workers.

No argument, each has their own preferences/likes/dislikes for personal reasons. If a person is satisfied/happy with what they've got and what they're getting from it, good for them. I sort of admired that guy I used to know who competed with his car sound system. He spent a lot of $, time, and effort with his hobby and won some contests. He had to learn about electricity, electronics, audio, etc. His car had two batteries and two generators/alternators and industrial sized wiring to carry the load of his equipment. His audio system was so loud I think his car could have been used as a crowd dispersal device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stormageddon:
I do not use my phone at all for music as it is not the best quality for music, although for all of you arguing about the iPod being bad or not the G2x has a class W Wolfson DAC that produces almost identical sound properties of an iPod.

My setup is a Cowon D3 as my main player with only lossless audio rips. My headphones are Sennhieser IE8s with a wiplash TWAG cable (99.999999% pure cryogenicly tempered silver). That with the BBE+ equalizers produces the best audio.

And for all those reading here: if you are listening to any type of lossy audio formats with expensive headphones it does not qualify as audiophile.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shane1diamond:
I must be doing something wrong because My ipodshuffle and My ipodtouch don't sound as clean as my phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
I've heard good things about the Cowon D3 in terms of audio quality.

It's runs Android, correct? If so, do you use the included music player or a third-party music player? And would you recommend it?

I can definitely recommend it! And yes it runs Android and I do use the included music player as it is not bad at all and has access to the propriatary BBE+ and JetAudio equalizers that are very good. You are also given 4 user presets that allow you to adjust the standard EQ settings along with being able to add BBE+ and JetAudio adjustments.

Cowon just released the new Z2 which replaces the D3. The major difference between the two is that the Z2 has a better display (AMOLED) and a faster 1GHz ARMv7 processor. Even though the Z2 is newer and faster it is also more expensive: $320 vs $220 for a 32GB. As for the difference in sound quality, there haven't been any solid reviews on it's sound quality though with a look at the hardware it does not look like there is a significant difference although it should be better.

It depends on what headphones you are using. That and also the iPhone is higher powered than a shuffle and I have always put it this way: the iPods and iPhones are not the bestin audio quality if you are going to talk audiophile.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] se1zure31:
I just wanted to thank you for posting about Nuetron. The audio quality difference compared to power amp was so huge. I just bought it off your recommendation after seeing the 32bit play back.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mustangtim49:
No problem, I wasn't aware that not too many people knew about Nuetron. You gotta try it, they have a free version. Trust me, youll be paying. This is probably the most sophisticated app on play. It runs at 44.1 khz like my home reciever. Its stupid out of control. I will warn, because theres so much going on, it freezes once in awhile when scrolling while music playing. But, like my NS7, it keeps music playing. Also, it has a mode to run output in what's best described as a DC servo active control preamp. In short, phone becomes preamp with active distortion control, it lowers the volume when it detects clipping

Yeah, it completely removes the competition. I was a player pro man for over a year. Yeah, I even deleted its back up in titanium bu.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DupleX01:
@mustangtim49

Indeed, the best player choice.

The GUI and the database handling is a bit weird, however the devs are improving it quite frequently.

Regardless, the sound that is reproduces makes up for those issues. A must buy, if using your device as a music player.

They are great at what they do, play music as it was intended hence being a studio monitor headphone. It is flat and produces some great ranges of sound, from high to low. Bass is tight and not muddy at all. It doesn't take a lot of power to drive too since it is 38ohms thus not needing an amp or external power source. Great deal when the price drops below $150! Check out the reviews on headfi and amazon, you won't be disappointed :)

Ummm..... wat. :o I never directed my comment to you? I simply said that Dre beats is looked down upon in the audiophile community (hence the do your homework bit) a cursory search on any reputable audio forum would back this up. This is also my opinion, not an attack on you or your '9 year old daughter' and her 'street cred' :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mustangtim49:
Can't we all just get along. Just being funny with the street cred, actually, my DJ daughter is 11, but have do have 9yo also. Its all about what's cool. Let me tell ya, I know there's phones that will smoke Dre's, but none of them have the "cool" factor Dre has. She's king **** in 5th grade. I got bored with audiophile magazines when I was about 12, it was all about stuffy old men showing off the fact they spent $45k on infinity reference standard 5's. I just do my own research. Ill say this about the beats, they're built like brick ****houses. These things will be around for years. Users will get their money out of them. How come nobody said anything about my magnepans? I figured they would have stirred all kinds of controversy up. Oh well. Anyways people, we done flaming each other? I'm tired. I'm good with everyone, I'm a smart ass myself, I get it. How bout the mark and levinson #20 monaural amps? 20 years ago they were $10k a piece, the size of a decent Ottoman and rated @ 100 Watts, .0000000001 thd, you could literally arc weld with their output, then go right back to reproducing music flawlessly. These were the epitome of audiophile. :cool:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] stormageddon:
The two main manufacturers that are, not necessarily hated, but are looked down upon are Bose and Beats as they tend to be priced way above what they are truly worth in terms of audio quality. Both of those companies are just big hype headphones. I am not saying that anyone who owns a pair is an idiot or anything like that just so that you all understand. I am just speaking from the audiophile perspective and what I know.

When I mentioned Bose I was only talking about their headphone gear and not their speaker systems as those are actually very good.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mustangtim49:
Yeah, like I was saying, my daughter busted my b!$?s for months to buy her the beats. To be honest, other than build quality, monster makes a good product, I was a little dissatisfied with how flat the beats sound. Keep in mind I have the top of the line $500 special edition model, they don't reproduce highs that well. I run Bose speakers as my fronts in my 5.1 system. I like to crank it and piss my neighbors off. The 2 subs are over the top in my 17' x 20' family room.

I am using Winamp Pro. It has 10-band graphic equalizer. Neutron Music Player only 4-band. When I first played music on Neutron I was heard very clean sound without any hum. But compared with Winamp sound hadn´t had dynamic, space and details in stereo. I think Neutron combines frequency. Most likely around 8-12 KHz. On both programs I used only EQ. I know Neutron has plenty setting which can probably balance that contrast.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamjakecali:
Seems like the correct place for this:

Anyone know of a ROM or program that will allow me to set it up so that she has limited access to programs/system?

Perhaps a launcher I can lock down such that it only shows her games and gallery video player, camera, etc.?

I figure I will use Button Remapper to deactivate the search/home/menu/back buttons (otherwise she will accidentally hit them when watching a video or playing a game).

Not sure what to do about the soft buttons---she needs to be able to access menus and go back somehow.

Oh, she is 3. She uses it all the time and loves the games I put on there, but the issues above need to be resolved before it is practical for her to use. It has been gathering a lot of dust since I got my new phone, and she really wants to have her own computer...

Any other ideas are welcome too of course.

Thanks
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobe1976:
To recommend a rom that would satisfy both her needs and yours I would look towards a 2.2 froyo based rom, any of them would do but for perfomance for games and working camera I would go with Beasty.

To be able to lock certain system settings and apps you can look into a face lock app from the market. There are numerous free versions to try out, but one you find the one thqts works right for your needs suggest purchase version for more options.
