Any way , I noticed a slight crisp improvement..if it's a placebo ..it's fooling me. Plus the improvement is very noticeable when I plugged in my cheap 15$ full ear headphones..sound is nice

I personally like using it with headphones .... I bought $5 headphones from the dollars store. They sounds like $30 headphones.

Keep in mind we're working with a low end phone. Music production has nothing to do with the hardware on which it's played. What is being offered is a way to get better sound out of a budget device. I tried one of the beats audio mods that was supposed to not crash dsp manager but it did, MegaBassBeats is awesome. Why should you have to buy high level hardware to get good sound?

AMEN!

Nobody is making anyone flash this. If you don't want it, don't download it. Considering I don't own an iPod or anything I can see why a lot of people would look for ways to enhance the sound. I use MegaBassBeats butthats my own preference. Everyone has their ownown

Because a DSP can't magically increase sound quality and the DSP in question is known to be terrible for sound quality because it gives an unbalanced sound. By hardware, I mean a nice pair of cans, a system with a subwoofer, etc. That's how you get great sounding bass. Your terrible ipod earbuds aren't going to suddenly sound amazing by using this. This isn't an amp or pre-amp. It's just an equalizer.

If you want to "enhance the sound" get better headphones or play your phone through a nice sound system.

I think we all just want a better sounding phone. Thats it. Nothing to it. Just because i like gingerbread doesn't mean im going to go buy a new phone.

Just an equalizer? If that's it then they made a great one. So this equalizes our hardware to something we think sounds better. No harm in that. Any one who cant equalize will get a fart sounding phone, no doubt. I think this helps the average person who cant get it right.

Since we don't all have money to be wasting, and we have perfectly working OVs ( that could use a boost in sound) ..why not?

The "amazing" part comes from the listeners themselves. Its relative and depends on the hardware used. Results vary. Yeah its just and equalizer but it seems to get the job done.

I can also confirm that this does not work on the quatrimus ics rom.

I'm sorry, but did I mention buying a new phone? The fact that you think buying a different Android phone can increase sound quality means you have no idea what you are talking about.

Except it already is "right" when it's mastered. At least, that's the ideal for producing music. If something is loudness mastered to begin with (compressed and made loud as because people are idiots) then you can't use a DSP to fix that. You also can't add bass to ty headphones. Think of a car rattling when someone installs a sub and how terrible that sounds. The same concept applies here.

This doesn't boost the sound. It gives you a bass heavy unbalanced sound that will sound terrible on anything that doesn't have nice bass properties to begin with. If you want to boost how something sounds then you need an amp of some sort. This is a basic one:

Amazon.com: FiiO E5 Headphone Amplifier: Electronics

Placebo effect and people not knowing any better because they've never heard better sound quality to begin with. Example: Anyone who thinks ipod earbuds sound good, buys Beats products, Bose products, or Skull Candy products.

I'm a fan of Sony ear buds. They sound great with this

You thinking its an equalizer and it only gives unbalanced bass proves that you don't know what you are talking about. Just let it go. Just because you don't want.better sound doesn't mean that anyone else has to follow your footsteps if they want better sound. No one is making you download it so just go.

Hey. I just posted this on Android Forums, giving a link back to here and giving credit to you and the devs of course.

Awesome. Thanks

spreading the word of good sound

**rebel69ization** · 06-10-2012, 06:04 AM

Wished it worked on ics

**OppyV** · 06-10-2012, 10:58 AM

it works on CAI but it breaks all other DSPs for me

**ThatGuyLurkin** · 06-10-2012, 01:21 PM

Get the version that includes DSP.

My rom has tweaks built in.

Okay apparently I missed the fireworks, but a little processing on a low quality audio chipset is far from placebo. Bass isn't all this is about, I'm actually running with dsp set to -1.8 on the low end to counteract the uber-bass increase, it sounds fantastic. Before my headphones sounded muffled, now the audio is clearer, and louder. Compared side by side on two OVs purchased at the same time, running the same file using the same headphones the difference is audible. Show me solid proof that this mod does nothing that can't be done FOR FREE without it, and I'll back down. Until such time, everyone who yearns for better sound needs to try this.

This is what android is all about. The sky is the limit people. Push your hardware, keep hacking, tweaking and push it to the limits. Don't let others opinions color your own. It's your phone, make it your own.
