To all music lovers AC!D has released new version. Have a look here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...822&postcount=1

Blend in very well with Siyah kernel and the quality of the output has raised above the bar.

Forget about voodoo. I don't think it will be better than this for S3.

Shouldn't be an issue. Mostly those did the installation majority of them reported good.

The audio engine for this version is just fantastic!

Use the aroma version as it will guide you during the installation.

I had it installed and audio quality is very good especially with a good pair of headset.

Reported working for wanam 4.3

Those using wanam 4.3 reported no problems with the installation.

So far no mentioned of it in the thread yet as the developer had just opened a new thread just for this new version.

Probably you may want to follow that forum to check on it further whether it works with Revolution HD.

Download the latest version 5 (suggest to use aroma version) which are not buggy and use cwm to flash it. During flashing make sure you select those related to S3 (Samsung).

Once you have successfully installed, there is an apps name "noozxoidelabs", launch it to configure the "Line-Out Audio Monitor".

Go to system settings>sound>music effect>, you will see Music Fx, Noozxoidelabs, and probably DSP Manager. Select Noozxoidelabs.

This mod works very well with Poweramp and Playerpro. I am using Playerpro though I also have Poweramp as I find Playerpro blend very well with the iem I owned.

If I am not mistaken, if you use Poweramp you have to un-tick DAC in the option.

If you are not using Siyah kernel, play with the equalizer settings in the Poweramp/Playpro.

For my case I set the equalizer in Playerpro to flat and only played with the internal hardware equalizer using apps STweak which allows me to do so as I am using Siyah kernel.

One has to recognize that you can only hear and enjoy the good sounding if you are using a very good headphone/iem. Those average iem might not be so effective.

My noozoide line out setup:
Compress and reduces ov = on
Select Effect Strength = moderate
Increase the monitor size = on
Select Effect Strength = medium
Deliver balanced natural = on
Digital Presets = Audiophile
Noozxoide VE-Engine = Strong
Create VSUR on practical = on
Create Room Size = none (I like to leave it as it is, choosing any one of it creates echoing which in my opinion distort the music)

These settings along with equalizer settings is very subjective and each one hearing has it own preferences.

IEM used = seenheiser cx870, hd205 and few others, JVC-FX40, BeyerDynamics XP2, few more can't recalled.

BeyerDynamics XP2 is the new addition and I seemed to enjoy it very much. You'll be surprised to know that it out performed Klipsh S4 and other higher end iem in terms of performance and very reasonably price. Paying for higher iem doesn't guarantee that it produces the best audio quality.

I usually listened to audiophile recording, acoustic, jazz and classical.

My music files are mostly ripped from flac and encoded to ogg vbr Q9 320 Kbps format.

It has solved the GPS issue.

Using torrent to download is very much faster. Takes about 20 minutes to download at most.

S3 from the box will definitely sound not as good as ipod.

Properly tweaked and using the right player and like what your friend mentioned, you will be listening to music in S3 rather than ipod.

Make sure you flash the latest ACID V5 Aroma, very stable version.

Not the V4 version.

Go for option 1 aroma, less complicated and cleaner. The ROM won't get screwed up.

And there were few screens appearing to let you select the options you wanted.

I didn't meddle with the build.prop file as the audio sound as good as it is already.

Why don't you try listening without that first to see how it goes. And be more adventurous at a latter stage.

I'm still following the thread to find out more on the build.prop before I decided to add in those scripts.

Why don't you consider PlayerPro or Poweramp? These two have high ratings and the UI is very friendly. You can download from Google Play Store.

There is a time limit as you need to purchase.

Try out these two since you already had ACID V5 installed.

I have both purchased from Play Store.

My preference is PlayerPro as it suite my listening style. Also, PlayerPro media scanning is more accurate when add, delete songs or albums.

Edit : Another good feature found in PlayerPro is that you can activate shake to skip forward or backward song. Poweramp you have to purchase separately.

I've no idea on this.

I am using Omega ROM V33.2 and the startup sound is suppressed by default.

What you said were true prior to the release of ACID V5. I've been using it.

With ACID V5 it has raised the bar above MegaBassBeats.

I don't have this issue using PlayerPro. My past experiences using Poweramp is playing with the mids and high can be a bit tricky. I have a Sennheiser iem which has sibilant issues and using it with poweramp distort the song.

After switching to Playerpro it does in a way resolved some of the sibilant.

Maybe you would want to test out Playerpro from Play Store and give me your views.

33.1 has an issue. I tried using it this evening and couldn't get lock in.

33.2 installed so far managed to lock in the GPS.

Some are lucky don't have GPS issue.

Sorry not DAC, should be DVC

Go to settings>audio>advanced tweaks>direct volume control

I can't recalled if I am not mistaken you need to uncheck for it to work.

You have to try out to see as I am using Playerpro now.
