Audio Test 16 and 24-bit Smartphone HTC One: it sounds, and ... - Qobuz.com

Officially, One has never been advertised as being compatible 24-bit audio (High Resolution), and it is random testing (successful) that Qobuz realized that the creature accept some files 24-bit. For us, it took just the gimmick, or even a weird electronic tolerance … until you listen to the sound output from the hearing aid.

Like his colleague LG G2 tested by us, the HTC One does not have external card slot, but is being available in 32 and 64GB, so no expansion possibility. Product date, but Qobuz held that it is part of our “ Smartphone compatible 24-bit ” ( Audiophones ).

In truth, the HTC One is a special case, one can even speak of veteran 24-bit audio because he showed before everyone without warning. HTC rather boasted the presence of the manufacturer Beats in its design rather than the dark stories of playback compatibility with a particular audio file.

The PC HTC One has proved erratic with 24-bit file interface. Sometimes she asked us to convert on pain of inconsistency – while without conversion, HTC released the One – and sometimes she let go of the files that were not read by the
Smartphone . The solution? Bsplayer install via Android , and perform a “drag & drop” music files via PC without using the HTC software.

his field: the HTC One sometimes its difficult with some 24-bit files, but sounds superbly
Surprise on the sound. and transcription with the HTC One. We told him such infused album in London Grammar 24-bit/44.1 kHz (for WMA), and then, oops, small heat stroke because it sounds pretty great smartphone, without breath or decibels that walk on each others, so false start marathoners. The sound is clear, clean, with a real dynamic and nice ventilation.

Same with Thriller by Michael Jackson 16 and 24-bit. A beautiful audio texture in acute, severe not overplay and details in the transcript. This is almost “moving” and hear a ringing smartphone so.

For audio level, the One has a good power reserve, which allows you to write it can work with most helmets, and stir the most demanding. At the time of this paper (11/11/2013), HTC One is the best hearing aid according Qobuz heard by us.

good points
– Beautiful texture audio in 24-bit (and 16-bit CD quality)
– precise audio message, very Hi access (weighed our words)
– Ventilation, dynamic rendering and serious voice
– Power reserve
– Very good Android smartphone

Nice dunce cap :
– No memory expansion
– capricious Interface for files accepted
