Hi again!

Wolfson is the best audio chip yeah, and yeah im an end user with android and i love good music quality.

I was a frequent flasher with the S2 and liked to stick with the Siyah kernel back then, and now with the Note 2 it seems a bit more tricky cause there are lots of options (3 root options, a binary flash counter to deal with, and damn Android reporting the phone status as "modified" in the system settings, and its a case of trying out and finding the best mods you like. (Like music and being a bit of an amateur audiophile, it all relies on incredibly subjective qualitative accounts) You may like a mod with your setup (phone, rom, headphones etc) and i may hate it and say this other mod is better with my set up etc etc

*update, the phones been rooted (i lasted nearly a month on stock!, which is good for me, i knew i was going to crack at some point!) and i have the Omega Rom 9.1 on the SD Card ready to install, i've ran a few backups of the most importants and the phones on charge (it dropped to around 70% whilst on tapatalk earlier and downloading the rom etc.

So now as i've decided to dedicate the night to exploring the new root and the first custom rom. its time to eat and get a few beers in and when the phone charges fully get into CWM and install this rom, go through the initial set ups and as theres sadly no Siyah as yet, its looking like Perseus (which comes with stweaks anyway as far as i know). Then i'll go through the audio settings of stweaks after putting a mix of music on the sd card and i'll tell you what its all going to be like.

Also later on if i have time i'm (or still pretty sober) i'm still half tempted to flash this acid audio mod to see what its all about, i'm intrigued! and the files are in my dropbox) I'm kinda hoping it wont interfere with the initial stweaks, i'm tempted to say the stweaks would be enough as it seems to work a lot more closely in touch with the Wolfson dac as its to do with the kernel over flashing a mod that kinda "sits on top" of the audio settings (like the nooz app does, and i did choose the nooz as the optional extra rather than the "ultimate beats" mod).

So recapping, what i know so far with the note 2 as of last night and today;

The Omega Rom 9.1 is the most feature packed and it has a kitchen app for mods and extras available from the Play Store, I love a good kitchen app!. I was initially looking at going for the Android Revolution HD 6 rom, but no doubt theres not much differences under the hood, their both based on the 4.1.2 stock firmware etc. However, as just said i'm more attracted to the Omega Rom, seems like theres more features, theres a kitchen app (the Omega Files), and i'm a sucker for little things like transparent widgets etc!

Anyway, back on topic! Perseus is the next best thing to Siyah at the minute,

Perseus comes with the same stweaks like Siyah and stweaks works in exactly the same way (also if a setting is unavailable with Perseus and stweaks it will be grayed out, which is an absolute godsend in the case of pressing something you shouldn't! this seems to be more about cpu control and i'm sure all the audio settings are present as its a Galaxy device with a Wolfson audio chip)

stweaks is based off Supercurio's Voodoo Sound (which was apparently "the best" sound mod period for Galaxy devices, but sadly not available for the Note 2 just yet)

You could let me know what genres of music you like and i'll throw a mix onto the sd card and let you know. My headphones at the minute are a set of Sony MXR-XD100's which i actually got yesterday from HMV in a sale for £20. Reviews are pretty much 4 stars across the board (Amazon and What HiFi and their a good all rounder cheap headphone (although Sony headphones are notorious for being a little bass heavy, so the other guys response on here from today about the stweaks preset for "pleasurable to ears" might just be enough here!). However, candidly they are no doubt far more superior to the Beats headphones!! :)

Hope this helps, i'll be back later
