Note 5 - headphone jack audio performance measurements

Hi guys,

Some hardcore audiophile data here. Measured the output of the Note 5 using AudioPrecision APx525. Some interesting facts and graphs below.

Simply put: it's an audiophile's dream!

• Supports high resolution playback up to 192 kHz. Also FLAC by the way.


• Extremely flat frequency response: <0.03 dB delta upto 20 kHz, <0.35 dB delta upto 96 kHz


• Very good dynamic range: 98 dB at max output level, 120dB at default output level


• Relatively low output level: -8dBV into a 16 Ohm load (for reference, Asian iPhone 6 = -1 dBV)

I still need to measure the output impedance, can certainly be useful for people to know.

I posted graphs on the Android Central forum, but it's not allowing me yet to have external links... I just signed up.
