USD149.99 >> RM459, just slightly more than the wireless charger RM339 (the price they put on our FOC last gen charger).  Can just buy to use as wireless charger.  laugh.gif    Even Spore is selling the latest leather wireless charger @ SGD118 (about RM365).

Is the dex docking available at the roadshow? Was thinking to get one after picking up the phone ..

Damn the dbrand black dragon skin is good.. Add some needed grip on the back glass and has some textured feeling too.. Applied on my G6...cant wait to apply on my s8 this thursday

The skin would eliminate the fingerprint magnet issue and good for people like me who like to use the phone naked.

after reading few forums on the web..general consensus are s8/s8+ DAC are quite good..

though its still a step below v20/G6/Axon 7 level.. the snapdragon version of s8 sounds similar like HTC 10 as its using the same Aqstic dac..

Exynos will/might be using Cirrus Logic CS43130 which is rumoured to be quite good..cant compare tu ESS quad Dac on the V20/g6 or Axon 7 AKM Dac setup but would be leap and bound improvements of the abysmal s7edge DAC.

can't wait to try it out with my BA iem this thursday..

To be frank. I use s7e with mojo on the go and centrance on my desktop.

Nothing bad about s7edge .

And those that bs you read as if it is day and night difference. They need to stop being a fanboy and get themselves a mojo or dap.

I mean. Either you go full audiophile with bricks or you just plug your iem in and enjoy on the go
Unless you using ie800(need more power). Other wise. These audiophile bs thing at most 5% difference.

Sos:
Hd700. Thx00.
Xba z5. Xba a3. Triple fi.

( i dont list below 1k stuff)

Edit: those audiofool did not enable adapt sound. Great underrated stuff from samsung
*
Bro u used s7e with an external dac/amp .. Of course it will sound good.. Out of the box, no add on external dac.. Its one of the poorest sq on a smartphone.. The sound stage is quite narrow..

And i enabled adapt sound in the sound setting, still cant match my htc 10 interms of soundstage..

I like to carry one device on to go when i'm listening to music.. So i'm comparing out of the box experience.. When u add external dac/amp in the mix, there are outside influence already..

Just look at pocketnow real audioreview.. Shows the output between s7,s8 and v20.. S7 is the worse, puny output.. While v20 can drive any freaking cans thrown at it..

For me i like convenience.. Carrying my phone and iem.. Since i go out with my jeans and no bag.. Putting phone + dac.. It will make my pocket look huge..

Appreciate your reply.

Sorry that i did not make myself clear.

S7e + mojo vs s7e , not big difference.

For iem. The difference not big enough to justify the bulk.

Means ok ok la s7e. Headphone is more obvious cos the amping.

Make sure you try Adapt sound once you got your s8 bro.
*
yeah ..will do.. i tried the Adapt sound s7e previously..it does improve the sound..but the output is still considerably weak compare to other phones..

but reading regarding s8.. things are heading in the right direction.. retiring from this toxic audiophile thing.. really can drain money..lol..

as long as the phone can drive my xba-z5 and sounds good.. should be ok by me for my listening on the go..
