Cool Beats audio myth

Quite frankly speaking...i have doubts if they make any difference..because i couldn't find any difference with beats on or off on stock rom with senn mx 170 and senn mx 470 earphones. So did a bit of research and this is what i came up with :

HTC wildfire have a TI Audio Chip and to support advanced features like
*SRS
*BEATS

we need at-least a Wolfson DAC or a Yamaha DAC ...which provides enhancement algorithms that is required by BEATS and SRS to work

we just have the files to port it to our devices but it doesn't have the required hardware to process it...that is why we hardly understand a difference...if it works also it cant work the way it is suppose to work..
try using beats on s2 as it has a yamaha DAC or sensation hd that comes with a wolfson DAC...and you would notice the difference...

GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION TO GET TO THE CORE OF THE MATTER...bEATS IS NOT JUST A EQUALIZER SETTING BUT IT RESPONDS TO DIFFIRENT FACTORS

in simple terms lets take the example of realtek audio manager vs realtek HD manager...if we try also we wont be able to beat the quality of realtek HD with realtek as it doesn't have the enhanced algorithim to support HD output...

same goes for our phone...we have the drivers..the filers required but as it is doesn't have the hardware to support it...it would not work like it is suppose to work....


BUT I DO AGREE TO THE FACT ALL OF THESE ARE FANCY SOUND ENHANCING EQUALIZERS BUT FOR THEM TO PERFORM LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO WORK THEY NEED A CHIP THAT SUPPORTS THE ADVANCED FEATURES

Default a bit more....

With or without a DAC.

A DAC (Digital-to-analog converter) is a microchip that converts the digital audio signal (MP3), into analog signal, for audio output. It is mostly found in Hi-Fi (high fidelity) systems but has made it’s way into MP3 Players and even some Smartphones. A DAC in a mobile device means top audio quality and improved power efficiency, given the fact that the sound processing is handled by the DAC as opposed to the CPU. The DAC handles all audio in the mobile device, including calls and audio recordings in Smartphones.

Beats Audio anyone?

HTC does not own a MP3 Player Division so there is (theoretically) no reason for them to “sabotage” the audio quality in there devices. However, the Beats Audio enhancement in their 2011 devices is only a software implementation. Without a dedicated DAC you can only benefit from Beats when playing back music or watching a video. Only in their latest smartphones, announced at MWC2012, did they advertise a “system wide Beats Audio” solution, through their “Authentic Sound Experience” campaign . That means they (finally) integrated some audio hardware.


FINAL WORDS : HTC WILDFIRE=NO DAC=NO BEATS AUDIO

Glad someone knows what they're talking about, most people here don't listen , so you'll still see "beats" everywhere
I've already said beats "portable to other devices" is fake, especially when they don't have the code required to run beats LOL

I'd have to disagree a bit on this.
Can't tell for the Wildfire, since it doesn't have an On/Off toggle, but on the Evo3D there are some noticeable changes to the music when you enable it.

DONATE TO ME
I dont think wildfire gets full beats experience but this mod definitely enhanced bass when used in conjunction with dsp.

HTC wildfire: LeWaOs


Its nice to be important,
but its more important
to be nice.
