Hi people!
I have an issue with Sony Audio Recorder app and noise cancel headphones that are included with the phone (MDR-NC31E)
The new update adds the Binaural feature to record "3D" sound using the headphones microphones.
article here:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/10/2...for-smartband-talk-and-mdr-c31em-dnc-headset/
I tried the new feature but the recording is in mono, not even stereo! It uses the headphones microphones correctly but the risult is in mono. :crying:
Maybe there are different version of the headphones?
Any of you with this problem?
Is anyone aware of an equalizer that works well with the dac? Every equalizer I've tried, you have to turn it on and off and then on again everytime you switch songs, it happens in all players. Spotify doesnt even have an equalizer anymore, even though my galaxy s6 did. I love that it has a dac, but I hate that I can't customize the equalizer, the 5 options they provide are really lackluster. I've got dt770s and they can handle a strong bass boost, but don't provide much bass on their own. So I need an equalizer to get them to sound the way I want to. The basic bass option they have in the dac options only boosts bass and drops treble, which lowers the audio fidelity of most music I listen to. I can't for the life of me understand why they would provide a high grade dac and not give you the option of customizing the equalizer, someone whos gonna use the dac is obviously going to want the most options possible.
I would highly recommend viper4 Android! I have used it for about a year and it has lots of options and a great eq! To me the most powerful Android eq/processor around.

There are many (viper4android) on the Play Store, which one do you recommend? Have you used it with the DAC on the V30? Thanks
Viper4android requires root. Even if you can get it on the play store it won't work. As far as I know anyways. If it did not require root I am sure everyone and their mother would be using it.
That's right, well that's why I like root and not have to worry about which apps I am allowed to install, lol. I hear ya, it's a great app. I may hold out for the unlocked one just for this app!
When you run your audio through an equalizer it is no longer bit-perfect. Most people who care about the kind and quality of DAC used would not want to decimate the audio. You are better off choosing a heaphone/iem/speaker that "colors" your audio to your liking.
I use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.pinpong.equalizer
It sounds great....when it works. It's temperamental to say the least, but using the same pair of earbuds (both wired and wireless), when using it, it sounds better than my Pixel 2 XL with Viper installed.

Stock dacs in phones cant power higher ohm impedence headphones. Changing equalizer settings just enhances certain frequencies while lowering others, its still going to sound better with higher grade headphones/amps. Not to mention high grade headphones are capable of outputting better bass or treble without buckling. Dacs arent only used to reproduce sound at its originally intended quality. For example, if i run the same equalizer settings with a g430 gaming headset, a lot of the sound is hidden behind the bass, but with my dt770s and a proper dac I can still hear the otherwise lost sound while still getting a good bass kick. I'm able to achieve it on my pc with my external dac/amp, I'm trying to do the same on my phone.

Did you ever make any progress on this? I'm the same boat - tried a LOT of EQs with the same results - no change if it's via the DAC or bluetooth. I have a set of Sennheiser PXC550s which have their own app with an EQ, but that's only for locally stored music and doesn't apply to Spotify, Amazon Music, etc. Sound is still good, but I'd love to make some subtle adjustments and am very frustrated that I can't.
are there any possibilities to adjust the DAC even better over other apps? because the prefabricated settings of LG do not agree with me
I use Equalizer FX. Pro. It's built in EQs work pretty well with my Sony MDR-7550s, but I do wish it had more than 5 bands so that I could tune them a little better.
Quad DAC is all well and good, but surely it should have a built-in DSP. Currently I have OPPO Find 7 with the incredible Maxxaudio (system DSP, not third-party). I was looking at V30, with its audiophile credentials (and to LGs credit they're not behaving like sheep and following Apple - no headphone jack - idiocy), but without a superior system DSP the audio will sound inferior. Rather defeats the purpose, because not many folk listen to music without an EQ.
JetAudio with AM3D plugin works great with the V30S ESS DAC.
The AM3D is not exactly an equalizer, but similar tailoring idea, with something else sorta like spatial clarification. It makes the sound more clear if adjusted right, along with adjustment of bass and treble ranges.

The best equalizer specifically developer for Spotify is SpotiQ. You can create a specific EQ for each song or album, awesome.

You dug up an old thread from 2018.
You can add LG's equalizer. These developments below are from 2019:
How-To add LG's Equalizer to your Hifi Quad Dac Sound Section
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/how-to/how-to-add-lgs-equalizer-to-hifi-quad-t3905870
Fully enable DTS 3D stereo (root needed)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/how-to/enable-dts-3d-stereo-lg-v30-variants-t3887139
Posts like this seem a bit spammy to me. Can you elaborate on your experience with that SpotiQ equalizer and how you found it?
An equalizer that works in the digital domain of the already compressed Spotify audio stream generally cannot yield very good sound quality.
Is it possible to make Histen work with Bluetooth headphones? It would be nice to have equaliser settings but that only seems available with the supplied usb headphones.
I wish that they add this in Emui 9 final version.
I am looking for a tool, with which I can read the sound at z2 and get an equalizer curve output. I hear about tidal with my z2. if I hear about tidal, no equalizer is active from the Sony. the sound is only output through the app and there are no tweaks etc. in the app tidal in connection with my z2 does not work EQ. I like the sound so well. But I would like to know if I can transfer the sound to my other smartphone, what has an EQ? As I said, there is no EQ active, or it does not cause any EQ on my z2
Today Iam looking for an Equalizer as my new headphones had some problems with a few frequencies. But I didn't find!
Did Sony forget this or am I blind ?

Yeah! they don't have those they used to.
Its all in that Dolby atmos this time.
Click Dolby atmos and all you see in Some Dynamic, Movie, music and Custom. There is an advanced setting which is supposed to have the feature of own setting for the bands.
But Dolby Atmos is only working with wired headphones. Most time I used Bluetooth headphones

Dolby atmos works with bluetooth headphones as well. I use it with my WF1000xm3 and WH1000xm2.
Dolby atmos works with headphones, bluetooth headphones and without headphones.
It seems that not all BT Headphones are supported, I tried my Sony MDR-10RBT and now its compatible, also my JBL Reflect 2. But 2 other one aren't. Maybe it's a protocol restriction
