Default Sound chip

Do any of you guys who own a Note right now (lucky you!!!) know which sound chip it has? Or how is the overall sound quality?
Or if anyone is brave enough to open your Note to take some pics of the motherboard and send it to supercurio (the guy behind voodoo project), so he can take a look
Maybe the Note has an awesome audio chip like the original Galaxy S

While the Note isn't as good as a SGS / Tab (the old 7" one) with Voodoo, it's definitely better than the SGS2.

For starters, I'm not hearing any white noise static when I plug my EarSonic SM3's (v1) into the Note unlike the SGS2.
Smartphones are only as smart as the user

Since you are using the Note to feed a multidriver balanced armature headphone your views on the sound quality are really appreciated.

Do you have an external amp or a known to be low impedance output media player to compare the frequency response of you SM3s when plugged to the Galaxy Note and when plugged to a known low impedance player ?

in my view the most audible of the SGSII was the sky high output impedance that skew the tonal balance of any balanced armature plugged in.

If the output impedance has been lowered to a proper standard (Less than 5 ohms) then the sound could be bearable through multidriver and pricey iems.
