cheap S6 Edge is on their way...

Still u wont buy ...Grandmaster of S4.

Based on previous phones i think it would be wolfson dac. Not bad. When i had my s6 edge previously, the sound was quite good, but soundstage was abit narrow

Bro i was replying regarding g5 dac tht was mentioned here in samsung s7 thread. i am interested bout the phone too. Of course i made some comparison with other audiophile product to show v10 n g5 dac is quite audiophile grade.

I never equate v10 with pha3, i said it was close to. I tested my z7 with v10, i also tested z7 with s6 edge. So if i tested z7 with s7 edge, n review it here regarding s7 dac, am i still in the wrong?

Its like some people who sometimes compare s7 camera quality to a dslr, is not wrong. Its all about context

Dont get me wrong here, i'm not a LG fan, i bought s6 edge when it was launched here.

It's a homebrewed Samsung DAC chip this time around, not the wolfson.

Probably the best out of all.

you cant beat nexus yo, but yes samsung is definitely sitting strong in second.

Usually samsung will provide software based eq ie SoundAlive. Hopefully the homebrewed dac and the soundalive can produce good output. I had to disabled sound alive in my s6, sounded abit harsh on the high/treble side

Oh no! I just realised the S7 won't have aptx! There goes my plan of having high quality wireless audio

Really? I thought its a standard now for all high end phones. But CSR did introduce a new protocol called aptx HD. 24bit audio streamed wirelessly through Bluetooth.


But still, thats a crucial miss. I use a aptx headset for gym huhu. Why did samsung choose to omit this feature

I think they have never had this feature before lol. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Wireless audio is so convenient for outdoors. I often use it going to and coming back from work, using the lrt. I currently use the Sony SBH52 and just hook it to my shirt.

Wired earphones, connected to the phone, makes things messy. You always have to be careful of the wires constantly moving around and not getting entangled with things around you. My earphones are quit fragile so bending, pulling or twisting are a no no. Not to mention cable noise too.

Eh, i tot s6 got aptx.

True, things about wires, it might just get hook on something without u realizing it. I always put the wires inside my shirt.

But compared with LG G5, G5 streams at 24-bit aptx HD but S7 still stream at 16-bit.

Bro. Dont you miss the fun of high priced cable?

Suprising no, coz i got it free from sony. U just have to know when to buy. Sony centre sometime have promo where they give u free stuff.

2 years ago i bought sony srs x9 portable speaker, and got mdr z7 for free, i kid u not. I got a rm2.4k headphone for free.

Got a kimber kable free when i purchase pha3 combo, but sold the headphone off and kept the cable

Few months back, bought the A2 iem, got a free upgrade 3.5mm high grade cable. Cable alone worth few hundreds.

So far sony has been kind to me. Hahaha

Last time i took a picture of my s6 edge connected to my pha3 n posted in the s6 edge thread. But it was long time ago. When s6 edge launched in singapore. Bought the ap set

Dem lucky you...why sony never gimme free goodies?

Will it be much cheaper on Lazada? Usually how long after the release date before Lazada starts selling the phone?

I always go sony centre the curve, coz my daughter likes to go to the playground near that area. So always see whats the promotion.

So if theres a good promo that i'm interested in, i go next day to prevent from my wife nagging at me for buying unnecessary items hahaha

Nice.

The kimber cable is like rm800 !
