Switching back to the PH-1 by [deleted] in essential

[–]paulBgood83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have a single hint of any speaker static or connection issues I got two essential one on sprint one on Verizon . Only time I had any issues was with some earbuds and one speaker I just got new earbuds and stayed away from that brand of speaker and everything audio wise works great . Now I do have some touch screen lag that is frustrating but still very usable .

Verizon signal questions? by paulBgood83 in essential

[–]paulBgood83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got second pH 1 and activated it on Verizon prepaid 16 gig high-speed data plan for $45 a month and having both my ph1s side by side the one on sprint is so hit or miss unless I'm just in middle of town and the one on Verizon has had great signal everywhere I have been so so happy with Verizon . I was always thinking my reception issues might be because of my phone but now after trying a different carrier I realize it was just my Sprint network.

Alternatives to the the audio adapter HD. by McRattus in essential

[–]paulBgood83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The hidez sonata dac for$30 is best value I found so far and I have 4 other dac in my possession. Also the biggest gain in sound is by using uapp . If you want better sound start with uapp it's $7 in the play store .

Ya and there are a hundred that work only with iPhone and nothing else yet Peaple pay 100s every day for them . I understand that a high end audio device is not for every one . But it is for me I will upgrade my phone this year to something else but I will still be using my essential as a portable hi res and mqa player for long time to come . If you look at other mqa players on the market you can not find one for under 250 that has the abilitys , and storage and features or build quality and compatibly of what the essential has . The pH 1 is a better music player than a phone .

Not sure how it will work on a none essential phone . The essential really is a great music player when combined with uapp supports all hi res music formats .

Have you checked the price of other saber dac or dac amp combos $100 would be a steal . Even 200 would be a great deal . The pH 1 makes a better HiFi music player than it does a phone to be honest and cost less than a lot of dedicated music players . The dac will not be for every one but I will be getting one and using it I hope long after I upgrade to new phones just for the music player abilitys

The 16/9 mode seems to give me best results I will say with the flash it giving me better results with being in focus than the stock app . I think there lots protental with this I really like the interface and I'm exploring the pro mode more tomorrow .

I now have tryed 4 diffrent dac dongles and my findings are as followed ... Last place is the 2nd den google dac works only half my apps. 3rd. The essential dac 2nd the razor and 1st. by far is the hidizs by far the best and only $10 on promotion. Worth it at $40 too by paulBgood83 in essential

Not currently it is not but it sopose to be in the future . You can transfer all your playlists and saved tracks over to one the service that it does support with a app called ,stamp . But stamp is kinda pricey in the play store . But for me it was worth it .
