    Default Mobile with FLAC support

    Hi chaps and Chappies

    I am expecting del of Sony Experia Z this week in replace of my iPhone4...(the latter can go to hell as far as I am concerned)

    This was the little bit in the techSpecs that sold it to me

    MP4/H.263/H.264/WMV player
    MP3/eAAC+/WMA/WAV/Flac player

    Note the FLAC support without having to stay with Apple.

    I will be doing a few tests with this over the next few weeks.

    QED 3.5 to 2 channel stereo lead from phone to Standac
    same without standac straight to amp
    Headphones (Panasonic)
    I can whistle with my fingers, especially if I have a whistle.

    Fwiw I have an experia phone too and I'm sorry to say the headphone out on it is as flat as a witches tit...

    Having come from Sony with all their walkman experience and despite being a very capable multimedia device it was a real disappointment.... This was even with my AKGs which are pretty forgiving. Its passable I suppose but my iPod classic sounds a hundred times better with 320k mp3. Battery life on this phone could be better too I guess.

    My Nokia 808 has the best sounding headphone output of any phone I have ever heard. I only use it with mp3 files though. I have no idea if it supports any other audio formats.

    thanks for the offer, but this phone will suffice

    Don't know if this works with any Android phone, but it can always be trialled at home . . .

    I've got FLACs out of an iPad with it.
