currently i'm using original diamond headphones to hear some music from time to time. as u can imagine the sound quality is very very bad. i'm think of buying an adapter for 3.5mm headphones, but am wondering will normal headphones (sennheiser px100) give better quality.
basically my question is: is the sound output from diamond bad, or is it just the original headphones?
The output sound is very good.
The original headphones is trash...

Hi guys I was not too happy with the built in dac on the note 8 and a friend recommended buying a usb c to headphone adapter as apparently have there own dac built in so I bought the htc one http://www.htc.com/uk/accessories/usb-c-digital-to-3-5mm/
And I don't know if I'm hearing things but it does sound louder with the adapter or am I just hearing it different?
My question is if it's true about these adapters having there own dac is there a better one the the htc obviously in a reasonable price range ive seen the one with the razor phone is ment to be good
And if this is the case I don't see the big fuss about looking the headphone jack if we can get great sound from the adapters lol
Thanks

Are you sure your friend didn't say that usb would use the headunit dac instead? I know that works that way, usb c to usb into my headunit for direct file play using only the headunit dac not headunit dac+ phone dac. No, I can't see any adapters your talking about having built into dac.
I can also tell you that I can't use high res in poweramp through usb or UHQ upscaler in settings with usb audio. I prob won't use it much due to those reasons, or Bluetooth for poor audio quality and no uhq upscaler either. Leaving aux for being the best for audio on this phone.

The moment you use the usb-c port to play your music, it bypasses the internal DAC. This is why ALL usb-c earbuds etc have their own DAC. I honestly doubt an adapter-DAC combo less than 10 pounds will outperform the DAC in the Note 8.
There is a major distinction between
1. How the DAC processes and shapes your music.
2. How 'powerful' it is and if it can handle high impedance headphones.
Seems to me that no. 2 is likely but definitely not no.1 with the adapter you linked.
It is well known that LOUDNESS(not volume) often comes across as BETTER quality sound.
Thanks guys I'm no audiophile I just wanted better and louder sound which the usb c headphone adapter seems (placebo maybe) do I've looked around on Amazon with a few of them claiming that they have decent dac built it
Do these dac in the adapters bypass the phone dac or something ?
I am looking for a 3.5 mm jack aif usb type c adapter, with which you can get the most out of music quality. I ask you to enlighten me and advice. A second question would be still, is the quality of the sound over a jack adapter worse than a built-in 3.5 mm jack connection. thank you for your help
There's no way you will hear a difference between 3.5mm jack and usb-c connector, because it's still the audio chip that "makes" the sound. Still, if you'd have headphones costing thousands of bucks, you'd never tell if 3.5mm or usb-c is better in phone. Mobile audio chips aren't so great all in all. That being said, adapter that comes with XZ2 is perfectly fine. Buy reasonably earphones and enjoy the music.
He's talking about external DAC... And it makes a huge difference if the DAC is decent. This way the sound is transmitted to the usbc hardware as a digital feed and is then decoded.

Check out this guy.
Qualcomm AQT1000 32bit/384kHz with playback dynamic range of 122dB.
I was actually interested in whether the sound on the included adapter is just as good as if you directly installed a jack. I would be interested in the technical data as far as the sound of the snapdragon 845 is concerned. at xz2
HTC U11 adapter is good enough. (I use and recommend it)
Sound quality is great, with no distortion and good (high) volume! (24bit/192kHz)
Sent from my Sony Xperia XZ2!
I also looked for that. but where can I buy the original?
In USA, HTC website.
From time to time it appears to sell.
https://www.htc.com/de/accessories/usb-c-digital-to-3-5mm/#!pid=htc-u11
that would be him? what is actually better with the adapter than with the sony?
The HTC adapter has a stronger AMP and better DAC inside.
but that's the adapter where I posted the link from
the SMSL DACs work, brought one over from my XZ1. But it has the same issue it did there, it'll only work through specific apps for local audio files and supported streams. I use USB Audio Player Pro, a paid app.
If you're just looking for an analogue pass through for USB C to 3.5mm and NOT a DAC, these from INGOUE work fine: https://www.amazon.com/Headphone-IN...533674928&sr=8-8&keywords=usb+c+3.5mm+adapter
hello dear forum, I ask for your help and am grateful for any helpful comment. and although I have an old z2 where I use Viper4android. the sound of the mobile phone sounds strong and full of sound. on my sony xz2 I did not have the full sound, especially not the full sound. (stereo moderately) suspect that it is s.einlaced on the phone adapter from sony. Can anybody confirm this?
need more information. your post does not make sense. audio on the xz2 is excellent, probably only beaten by LG and their Quad DAC. It doesnt need any silly audio enhancement or equalizer. If you can afford the xz2, please buy better earphones and invest in better audio quality sources instead of blaming the device.
Dongle + Sony WH1000XM2 on Spotify premium sound awesome , everything is crystal clear .. Hell I've heard parts of some songs that I did not know were there ...
Also on the same headphones but wireless the quality of playback is amazing ..
I do think that the problem lies in your "equipment" ( maybe the dongle is broken or your headphones are poor quality/ broken )

Yes that's what I meant when I said dongle .. The USB-C to 3.5mm Jack adapter that comes with the phone ..
OK. do you have any idea why Viper4android does not recognize the htc adapter? have written with someone who owns a htc u11 smartphone. with him the adapter goes with Viper4android. but on a costum rom
Is that possible to use the type c to 3.5mm converter for 7 plus?
why?! you have 3,5 mm jack
I have a HTC Usb to 3.5mm adaptor that I used on my HTC U ultra and it works great with the Nokia 7 plus as well.
I think the audio is louder using the adaptor and better quality.

because the sound quality from the 3.5mm is so poor
I have huawei p20 headphones also with usb-c and these are better than anything else.

Want to know does it worths to buy the adaptor just for sound quality improvement?
That's a difficult question as I always find audio a very personal thing.
I have just tried my Akg K451 headphones with both the audio jack on the phone and the HTC adaptor.
The HTC 3.5 mm adaptor is significantly louder than the audio jack at full volume. I notice some distortion in the audio jack that is absent on the HTC adaptor. I think the audio from the adaptor is fuller and far more pleasing to my ear.
I have no idea how these things work, for instance does the HTC adaptor have its own DAC or is it simply a pass through device? The difference in audio level would suggest to me the presence of its own DAC so maybe that would account for the difference in audio .
Maybe it's worth buying the adaptor just to drive certain headphones better. I have a pair of status audio headphones at home that I normally use with a headphone amp to drive them I will try them on the 7 plus later to see how they sound with the audio jack and the adaptor.
Sorry I can't be more definitive.
By the way the HTC adaptor is around £10 in the UK direct from HTC.
Is the sound quality and volume really that bad or is it just some specific/batch units?
I listen to a lot of audiobooks on the go and it would be a shame if this was a dealbreaker.
No I don't find the audio particularly bad and most of the time it is loud enough.
Most of the time I use the 3.5 jack and don't have a problem but when I'm sitting listening to music and doing nothing else I prefer the audio from my HTC adapter.
The volume will depend on the impeadence of the headphones used, my AKG headphones are always much louder than my status audio ones when used in the same device.

I think it can，I used a Xiaomi's type-c headset that can be used
Quite strangely, My Mi A2's USB-C to 3.5 adapter DOES NOT WORK with my Nokia 7+
