Could someone give some feedback on the sound quality of the Nexus 5, any idea what sort of DAC the phone is using? Is it using something similar to the LG G2 as that has the same chipset.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irhut:
I am no audio expert but I was listening to music last night on headphones and was very impressed with the quality of sound. It was just about loud enough which was my main worry. Bass was very good too. I was not using stock music player as I use a Synology media server and was therefore using DS audio. I just need to get a decent graphic equaliser installed as I can't find one on the phone. Any suggestions?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spl4tt:
You need to use DS audio? Else you could use the jetaudio player or neutron.

If you need a systemwide one, what about dsp manager from cyanogen? I think they'll soon got a ROM up for the N5.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bl4ckdr4g00n:
it's WCD9320. The same one as in G2

Just keep in mind that if the Soc is Snapdragon S4, regardless the generation, there is always a very good DAC inside .

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malek777:
If that was true shouldnt that be in the specs of the nexus 5. Theres no mention of the dac on the spec sheet so i wouldnt be so confident.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adma84:
This is actually a Snapdragon 800 which is better than what the S4 and the HTC one has. To my knowledge, only the Galaxy note III and LG G2 have the same SoC in the states
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bl4ckdr4g00n:
If the SoC is Snapdragon 800 then it already has WCD9320 integrated, which is a very good DAC.

Hence WCD9320 is 100% confirmed, unless LG is crazy and stupid, and they solder another DAC on the board.

Actually, the amplifier matters more, and affects a large portion of sound quality.

according to the service manual for the nexus 5 the DAC is indeed the WCD9320. so same as in the G2.

from listening to it its better than the nexus 4 but not as good as the woflsons in the S3 but still very decent.

does the N5 support audio thru usb OTG so we can use external DAC/AMP? I've read sumwhere mention usb OTG in kit kat. However, this doesn't mean the nexus 5 support USB OTG nativly (like the N4).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davies_90:
I am somewhat underwhelmed with the audio quality on the N5,unlike most I knew that the two grills on the bottom of the phone only one of which is a loud speaker,However the audio is IMO piss poor.via headphones its outstanding paired with my seneizer cx300II's (spelling) via the loudspeaker its very quiet and tinny,not to mentions the grills are VERY easily muffled. Just my two cents.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kusie:
I really hope someone will be able to provide a fix or something like Chainfire´s "voodoo louder" App for the Nexus 5 that will boost both the internal speaker and sound output via headphone jack. The sound via headphone is good, and I can boost it to 100% loudness without getting any distortion, so my guess and hope is that the DAC on a hardware driver level can be boosted without problems.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HolmesHouse08:
I agree. It might be my imagination, but the Loudness coming out of the Nexus 5 through my M50's was inadequate. And I'm being nice.

---------- Post added at 08:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 AM ----------

I agree with this as well. I would't rate the audio quality coming out of headphones as piss poor. More like "n/a". The loudness on maximum volume was so low, that I did not feel comfortable giving much of a critical listen/eval.

I just couldn't get used to how low the sound was, even at maximum volume.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erukian:
Volume is too low. Overall the signature is muddy and dark, and a bit lifeless to be honest. Its like it lacks some energy and sparkle and the instruments just aren't as separated as they are on other devices.

It doesn't do anything particularly offensive, but it definitely doesn't sound good or great.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psykhe:
That is my experience as well. Especially compared to my old Nexus S it sounds quite hollow.

Thats with $250 in-ear headphones, PowerAmp and identical EQ settings on both devices.

Unless that is fixable this is for me a dealbreaker, I will very likely sell the N5 due to this.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0bster:
Poweramp was updated last time on August 18, 2013.

Kitkat changed the way audio works in November.

Try other players: native Play Music or Gonemad (which was updated).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psykhe:
Sadly the issue is still the same when trying it with Play Music on both devices. The sound on the Nexus S (stock 4.1) is much richer and vibrant.

AFAIK the KitKat audio change is only about the power drain of audio playback.

Will try it with Gonemad today evening, but I do not have high hopes of it faring any better.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0bster:
What headphones are you using?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psykhe:
Shure SE425
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0bster:
Hmm, these are usually pretty good...

I have TF10 and they sound not bad at all with N5.

Did you try factory reset?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psykhe:
I guess I can try it, but I also doubt it will do anything. I think the N5 simply does not have a very good DAC.

As Erukian said, the sound on the N5 isn't bad, it is just not very good.

The Nexus S has the Wolfson WM8994 DAC, which was at that time one of the best DACs around (it is also used in the Galaxy S(1), iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4). It is a common complaint that the Galaxy Nexus and N4 (which do not use a Wolfson DAC) do not sound as good as the Nexus S. It seems the N5 can join that list. It might very well sound better than most smartphones, but most of them also have a pretty cheap DAC.

/Edit: Will also try something else - I have another N5 lying at home waiting to be send back to Google (I ordered a black and white one (couldn't decide at release day) and google prepared them for delivery faster than I anticipated, so I couldn't cancel the white one in time), maybe there is some variation in the manufacturing process...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drhonk:
I totally agree with you. My old phone was Galaxy S 3 International version which has Wolfson chipset and like you ... I tested both S3 and N5 using PowerAmp with the same setting, the difference was day and night. I might have to rely on custom kernel like faux's with its fauxsound to improve its sound quality.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psykhe:
Great success! My N5 now sounds identical to my Nexus S. How? Quite simple, I stopped being a moron. :silly:

This is somewhat embarrassing... I was 100% sure that I use the "Rock" EQ setting in PowerAmp but I must have set it to some strange but (for me) very good sounding custom EQ sometime in the prehistoric past. I have no memory of that at all.

Trying Gonemad got me noticing that finally. It sounded on the Nexus S pretty bad, which got me over "Are Gonemads and PowerAmps Rock EQ so different?" and "Mhh.. that setting in PowerAmp does not look like Rock.." to "Doh! I am dumb!"

So, in short I made really really sure that the EQ settings in PowerAmp on both devices are actually identical and now both devices sound the same. Who would have thought that..

Thanks in particular to m0bster for his advice.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c19932:
I agree. I sold my Nexus 5 solely for audio reason. The sound signature is very boring. The bass does not go low enough. Now I got the HTC one. At least the bass is more powerful, but I still prefer the sound signature of my HTC One S :'(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erukian:
I did the same, it wasn't just the audio, it's the horrible camera. It can't seem to focus on anything to save it's life. God forbid I take a pic of anything moving...

In any case, I haven't owned an iPhone since the original so I picked up a 5S just to try something different and the audio out of it sounds great. Also it's nice to actually use the USB iPod function in my stereo to simultaneously charge my iPhone and play audio from any app. I know this puts me in enemy territory in these parts so I won't go on about what else I like about the device.

If google can resolve the camera firmware issues and hackers can resolve the audio issues, I'll probably go back nexus and get my $300 back.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pifsworld:
I've seen a video on YouTube were it points to the fact that the glue holding in the screen has spilled down covering the speaker and there's even a video showing how to get rid of the problem... So if its true maybe it does affect some models of the N5 I don't fancy opening up my N5,let's put it that way.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reading1800:
I've come from a HTC Sensation xe and am so disappointed with the headphones sound quality, it just hasn't got the depth that a good amp provides. I've tried power amp and equalizer to no noticeable effect. Have another week to play but looks like switching to HTC One and RMA the nexus, especially as htc gets KitKat in the early new year.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattSkeet:
What headphones are you using? I have jays one + and Behringer active monitor speakers and sound quality is outstanding.

It's slightly flattened but in right places. Not too much bass, accurate mid and high tones.

If you are using something like beats headphones you can blame yourself for piss poor choice of equipment.

Phone speaker is poor but headphone output is amazing... And I have used various headphones (audiotechnica, sennheiser, bayerdynamic, all on year closed headphones for monitoring and studio use)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ausaras:
I think the DAC does not matter much in this case.

I think the structural design of Nexus 5 is to blame.

I had a HTC One S. The speaker output is very good, from low volume to high volume. Consistent quality.

But the Nexus 5 that I just got, the sound quality is very inconsistent. In low volume, it sounds very very hollow. In high volume, it sounds better but still does not have the depth of HTC One S.

One thing I noted was that, the whole backplate of Nexus 5 vibrates when using speaker! This never happened with my HTC One S.

Anyone else noticing that backplate vibrates with using speaker?

I am not an audiophile but I already kinda regret not going with HTC One...my cousin has one and it really sounds fantastic. But thinking from another perspective...some corners must be cut to keep the low price of Nexus 5!

Anyone can comment on audio quality comparison between Nexus 5 and moto x?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lobloco:
Before I RMA the phone, does anyone else notice that the earpiece volume seems weak?

My cheap Nokia 520, sounds so much louder and when I play a YouTube video, the sound is louder and much fuller.

Should I keep N5 and wait for a fix, if that's possible or just send it back ?

It's too bad, this phone is really nice to use.

Hope to hear back from someone.

Thanks .
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reading1800:
Yes I use Beats and they worked really well with HTC, but have also ordered some Sound magic E10s and AudioTechnica ATH-ANC23BK , so will see if they make a difference.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ladster:
All good in the end

Just wanted to add my piece to the puzzle re N5 audio quality over the headphones.

Just switched across from HTC One S (Beats feature off) on Shure SE425 and was massively disappointed with N5's audio quality - lacklustre at best with poor instrument separation especially on tracks with guitars. However much you play with the equaliser the sound is still lacking.

This can be remedied however by switching away from the stock Google Music app. I've tried the recommended Neutron and GoneMad but not until I moved to PowerAmp has the sound improved dramatically. The guitars, hihats and voice are now much better separated with a lively punch to the sound. Also the bass seems less muddy and a bit more pronounced. On flat (eq off) settings the music runs at somewhat lower volume so when comparing make sure to take that into account!

Thanks guys for the tip. I was tempted to get rid off my freshly acquired N5 or save up for a DAC but now there's no need!

And well done PowerAmp!

----

Right, been listening to music for a few hours now and the sound is simply amazing! The detail is incredible, there is zero noise and instrument and channel separation is beautiful. Better than what I thought possible on a mobile phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom Servo:
Load of crap. MP3 decoding is a strict standard. Every MP3 decoder outputs the same data. If it doesn't, it's a broken decoder. Any difference in sound is DSP ****ery outside the decoding process.

Longer version: Both Google Play Music app via the hardware decoder and PowerAMP via the software decoder produce the same uncompressed output data. Said decoded data is supposed to go to the audio chip for output. As such, both players on the same device are supposed to sound exactly the same with the equalizer disabled. I'm pretty sure that they do (with EQ off), and there's placebo effect in play. If they do indeed sound different (record from line-out and do a spectrum to confirm), one or both are using an equalizer with different settings.

I've played this "sounds different" game before and actually recorded and compared spectrums from different audio players in the past on the Gnex and N4. They're were always the same. It's a placebo effect that even I suffered from. And I'd wager that the ADC on an Xonar is competent enough to discern things (if you can hear a difference, you can be damn well sure an ADC does), so the recording device ain't to blame.

As far as audio placebo goes, do check out Head-Fi to see how powerful and deluding it can be.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muriani:
The backplate of the One S is a solid piece of metal, whereas the N5's is a rubberized plastic. It's bound to have a little more give.

IMO this just helps increase frequency response :P
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffsf:
Thanks to all who have posted -- I'm unfortunately one of those people that can consistently hear the difference in DACs and the compression artifacts in typical MP3s, as well as the horrendous things that most of these "equalizers" do to well-recorded source material. It's too bad that the DAC doesn't seem up to the quality that the Wolfson pieces have been providing. It's something of a deal-breaker for me on the Nexus 5, especially when combined with the limited internal storage available for higher-bitrate (FLAC or ALAC, for example) music.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theesotericone:
Hey jeff

I remember you from the T959v days. That phone blows the doors of the Nexus as far as quality goes. That said it took a Wolfson dac and some supercurio love to make it reach it's full potential. Long story short as a true audiophile you will be disapointed. As I guy who likes to listen to tunes on a phone as opposed to an mp3 player with a dedicated dac you'll be impressed. DSP tunnenling maybe a catch phrase you've heard of. If not look it up. I play over 8 hours of tunes a day a this phone and the battery use is almost non-existant.

As far as FLAC in it goes the phone fully supports OTG. I was worried about the storage as well. Once I figured out OTG it was less of an issue. Music on a stick and backups on the sd.

Also, can you really tell the difference between a high quality mp3 and flac? If you can you're one of a very small percentage. Audio engineer? Post processing? :cool:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffsf:
Thanks! I appreciate that reminder about OTG. I have always shied away Google/Nexus phones because of Google's apparent insistence that they don't have removable storage. Working OTG definitely removes that concern.

I'll keep my eyes open on the other threads to see how some of the Sabre DAC units end up working out for people. While that class of DAC typically doesn't have enough to "properly" drive something like Etymotic IEMs, I do have a great little Tralucent portable amp. Of course, does all that really qualify as a "mobile" solution?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spl4tt:
The difference is enormous. I'm using Heir Audio's 8.A custom earphones and I definitely hear the difference between 320 mp3 and flac/wav.

Though, I'm not using my phone to listen to music.

Faux kernel with FauxSound app work well with the Nexus 5. Can increase headphone analog volume so the Nexus 5 is nice and loud without sounding distorted.
