Default Sound Quality on HTC Sensation

Ok. I CANNOT find a thread which talks about the DAC in Sensation. How is the sound quality through headphones on this? Any previous Nexus S /SGS owners who would like to compare the Voodoo with sensation? Does it have Wolfson DAC in it?

Hate to break it to you but Supercurio, the creator of Voodoo sound, doesn't give a %&$# about the Sensation. He already has his hands full with the SGSII. And according to his words, not mine, he described the Wolfson Media Hub 8994 as "mediocre." He seems to think that the preamp is more important in audio quality and I happen to agree. Oh and the chance of the Sensation having the Wolfson DAC is the chance that an ice cube has in hell. Hope for a better preamp instead or OTG DAC+AMP support.

Yerr that's why I said "ported" because I remember Supercurio saying porting is possible

btw, I've been following supercurio for a long time and I cannot imagine to think that he would have thought the wolfson DAC is "mediocre" (obviously I may be wrong). If he thought so, he wouldn't have bothered with Voodoo Sound? Anyways thanks for the reply It seems time will tell everything.

Supercurio bothered to create Voodoo sound because he thought the preamp was "mind blowing" which he said in the same post as his DAC comment.

Any updates on this? I would love to find out if someone made a way for us to update our sound capabilities without having to rely on CPU intensive apps such as volume plus. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
