[Q] Audio Chip?

---

Is anybody privy to what audio chip will be used in this phone? Thats one major thing that will influence my decision.
I currently have a G2, and this phone, along with other htc phones ive had, always seem to lack in the power of the audio. All i want is a phone that volume output will rival the iphones at least.

Guess nobody knows...

Well if it's of any help to you, old HTC phones have a TI Audio Chip. Maybe they changed this in the Sensation since they are now advertising Hi-Fi Audio which in the best case scenario means a Wolfson 8994 Media Hub Chip.

Same here and had the same question with the Flyer. A Wolfson DAC would be a key selling argument for me. I am just fearful that the Hi-Fi reference is a direct link to the SRS audio enhancement algorithms, which are - frankly - crap; especially compared to BBE.

I have to agree. SRS is a joke.

Oh man. The more I think about it, the more I think they were advertising SRS. The desirability of this phone just plummeted for me. In addition to this, there isn't any lossless format support so in the end, what's the point?

On the Desire HD I LOVE SRS Enhancement while using headphones. Sounds amazing on my shures.

Well I've tried SRS enhanced devices before (Sennheiser MM550) and in my opinion, they don't really sound that great. They just boost bass which I can already do with an equalizer. Btw, what kind of Shures are you using?

Any updates on this? The SGSII and the Sensation are so similar that the sound chip will be what ultimately decides for me.

Will the SGSII carry the same Wolfson DAC that was in the original Galaxy S? Or will the Sensation best it in SQ?
