Auxilary output?

Is there any way to get an auxilary output from the banana plugs in the back? I bought some that i can hook up to speakers with copper wire but i was wondering if anyones been able to convert that into an aux. Thanks

Since the output is amplified, I don't think it would be possible.
Quick edit: by my statement, I'm assuming you want the aux to be at line level.

In theory, yes you can turn an amplified analog signal into a line level out.
In practice, you might end up with a cloud of blue smoke from choosing the wrong component values, and to do it right will still cost a few bucks.
Better choice (safer choice) is to find a toslink or hdmi to analog decoder.

As others have noted, yes... you need 2 channel "Line Level Converter" ... or you could use a TOSLINK to RCA adapter, but those require an external power source... so another plug in the wall.

[Q] Does Xperia Z1 support MHL 2.0?

MHL 2.0 = 60hz = 60 FPS = Gaming Heaven on TV.
MHL 1.0 = 24hz = 24 FPS = Useless for anything other than video playback.
How do you find out if Xperia Z1 have support for 60 FPS/MHL 2.0?

I have a 1.1 adapter, as it doesn't supply enough power to keep the phone going and require something better, I would assume that it support 2.0.

Well, i dont use an adapter, just the cable and its pretty smooth, haven't tried gaming yet so i don't know
I'll check and tell you later

Are you using that at the same time as charging the phone?

The Galaxy S4 has MHL 2.0, so i would guess that the Z1/ZU/Z2 does also have 2.0. But that's just guessing though.

in WMC there was demonstration of MHL 3.0, supporting 4K and 10W charging... and guess what ?
It was done with Xperia Z1 and Sony 4K TV...
Even if it does not.. it's a matter of Software update I guess...

I buyed one at aliexpress.com but the micro adapter was too big. Apparenty only for Samsung because it's fits in my wife's S3.

How is that possible? Everything uses microUSB

Well, dunno for this adapter, but it's possible...
I have a car charger that worked fine for my Xperia S, but it's too loose for the Z1, have to hold it a certain way to get contact.

Since the Z1 is a USB2.0 device (due to connector, not chipset), I would be surprised if you could squeeze 4K out of it. I'm no expert though, and I don't know exactly how MHL works so I may be wrong.

Actually the z2 also has usb 2.0 but i really doubt that z1 supports mhl 3.0 and if it does reallg support ill be more than just happy..

I can confirm that Xperia Z1 have MHL 2.0, I have been in contact with the people who develops the MHL Technology, and they can assure me that it uses 2.0

http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news/2014/2/24/mhl-30-announced2c-support-for-4k-streaming-and-10w-charging.aspx
According to this link , they used xperia z1 for the demonstration, can anyone confirm the Xperia Z1 does support MHL 3.0 ?

Well i saw it like this.. @zhuoyang posted the same source that I saw...

Yep, you need a mhl adapter for galaxy s I believe. The newer ones like for galaxy S3 or Note 2 do not fit.
Samsung model that works very good: EIA2UHUNBE , I can play Deadtrigger 2 on my hdtv using my PS3 controller pretty fluently...
Proof:

Tried a cheap ebay one too and experienced choppy image on the TV.

sadly the MHL 3.0 demo is Z2 not Z1

I bought mine but the micro usb male plug is longer than the the normal micr usb plug @[email protected] money wasted nai!!!!....

Are there any of these cutting edge features in S8?

1. Micro-SD card slots - Is it UHS-1 (100mbps)or UHS-2(150mbps)?
2. Quick Charge/Adaptive Fast Charging - Looks like it's still QC- 2.0 since stock charger is having same rating as the one in S6 edge or 3.0 (so far only 6 phones are supported) or 4.0 (announced by qualcomm officially today) ?
3. Have any one tried type-c headphones - any improvements over 3.5mm if it works.
4. There are rumors that Camera sensor uses Sony IMX333 capable of 1000fps.

4. As far as I know the only Sony sensor capable of 1000FPS is IMX400 and it's 19MP. It has extra memory build inside sensor and ours doesn't, so no.
3. I'm not sure what kind of improvement can one expect from headphones connected to USB C, so please enlighten me, just don't quote some BS Apple's advert.

3.5 mm headphones can introduce noise which usb type c would not. Also if the headphones have a built in dac better then the one in the phone they could easily sound better. I personally enjoy the tuned by akgs but made by Samsungs though.

maybe if you had cheap headphones plugged into a cheap computer on a cheap old circuit in an old house or something
plugging it into the phone, 99% of the time there will be no noise

I only said it was possible. Haven't had that issue but again if the headphones had a built in dac that would make a difference.

I am not sure, but I thought I readed that there was a DAC, which was even improved so it could process 32bit audio? Don't pin me on this, but from what I can say, the music sounds in comparison of my old S6:
1: Way better, clearer.
2: More loudness.

The only way I can think of the noise being introduced on 3.5mm jack is induction on the analog wire connection which should be fixed with shielded wire. Now, are you trying to compare some cheap analog headphones that don't even have shielded wire, with digital headphones with build in expensive DAC?

Okay but even if it has a built in dac it could be better. I never had usb headphones at all. I don't plan on buying any either because I like to be able to keep the usb port open. I doubt there is any reason I would actually come up with that would make it seem like a worthwile purchase for me.

USB headphones are possible with the Galaxy S8. I have used my fairly inexpensive PC USB headset with the Galaxy S8 using the included USB C to USB A adapter, and it works flawlessly. The only use I have found for this is that I can leave the headset plugged into the port on the bottom of the GearVR that way once the phone is in the headset it's simultaneously connected to the headphones and without the lag that Bluetooth headphones may introduce.

On 4 - they use imx400 only in Korean version with 6gb ram, but the 960fps(not 1000) is not avaible for Samsung, its Sony's trick
About QC, i have s6 edge and my roommate have s7 edge, the s8 is charging faster even with bigger battery, idk if its 3.0 or 4.0 or whatever, but its faster than the s6 and s7

OnePlus 6T Dongle Audio Quality

Has anyone tried to compare the audio quality of OP6 via headphones jack with that of OP6T via the dongle? Just trying to find out if OnePlus uses another DAC chip in Type C port or the one in SD845.

The Type C dongle is passive the DAC is in the phone and not the dongle whihch is dissapointing and the quality is around the same as OP6 better off trying to source a 1st gen Google dongle or find a brand that makes a good one.

Exactly. The audio quality out of the dongle is so disappointing. It makes my FiiO F9 Pro soundstage sound narrower that it's supposed to. That's why I'm currently deciding whether if I should buy a FiiO Q1 MK II. But I never tried any of these amps before, I don't know if there would be a substantial improvement over the dongle

Apparently this is a good Dongle was recoended to me by another user on here, Odyssey Type-C to 3.5mm DAC dongle $10 Should improve the quality a bit and be better for the amp you mentioned

If there is a DAC in the phone, does plugging in a cable like this (which as a DAC built-in) tell the phone to send a non-processed signal straight out to the cable (so that the cable can do the d/a conversion)???

I'm not entirely sure how it works but the Type C bullets by OnePlus have a custom DAC in them and they're made for the OP6T

Is there a way to confirm which DAC it's using? I'm not doubting it's passing audio from phone to your headphones but is the D/A conversion still being done on the phone and sending an analog signal thru your active cord OR it the cord actively doing the D/A conversion? Is there a way to tell?

I read it in a Reddit thread where it was mentioned that if you're using a dongle with a built-in DAC, it will use the DAC in the dongle instead of the one in the phone. I'd assume it's the same for other DAC as well. https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/9uu3jy/oneplus_6t_has_an_analog_dac_inside_the_usbc_port/
Edit: After testing for many times (I hope the port life won't reduce after those tests), I can conclude that the phone is using the external DAC. Noticeable difference in the soundstage

Then theoretically op6t with fiio k1 should work, right? I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 598

I don't use any external DAC. I stream in the car, and I use V4A for audio processing, and it sounds incredible.

Get yourself one of these https://www.nexum-design.com/aqua - couldn't recommend them enough. I have one and it is absolutely the best 'dongle' you can get. Battery does take a hit because of the integrated amp, but well worth it...

Usb-c to 3.5mm earphone adapter.

Hello everybody.
I would like to buy an adapter from usb-c to 3.5mm earphone plug. I see it is a little bit more complicated than I thought- There are adapters with DAC chip,without a chip,others won't fit Samsung,etc.
I just want an adapter because of the lack of 3.5mm socket and keep listening music like I did so far. I would like to have the option to use this plug with none-Samsung phones ,too.
What kind of adapter and brands do you recommend to buy ?
Thanks in advance,
Arye

Do a search, this has been discussed since the firsts days of the note 10 forum

I did a search.Did not find anything.

I bought the Samsung adaptor, which seems to work well.

Samsung's is flimsy... it doesn't inspire longevity confidence.
The great Samsung flagship missing 3.5 mm jack fubar continues... lame.

I advise you to acquire an adapter that allows you to charge the phone at the same time.
So an adapter with double inlet, USB-C for charging and 3.5mm Audio

It says it's not compatible with the Note 10, S10 etc.

Yes, you're right. I didn't notice that, even though I don't understand how it is not compatible.
I use Wordima USB-C to 3.5mm Charger Adapter (https://www.amazon.com/WORDIMA-Headphone-Charger-Adapter-Compatible/dp/B07TBKG7N4), currently unavailable.

Presumably because it does not incorporate a DAC. The only adaptors that work with the Note 10+ are those with a DAC in them.

Yeah it's tricky. Worse no clue how good that one is.
It was much better with a known internal phone DAC and the 3.5 mm jack. The Note 4 was a better audio platform. WTF?
Samsung really dropped the ball Special Olympics style...
Whatever the dongle DAC is I doubt it's a 32 bit Burr-Brown. Ha!
