HTC Beats implementation more complex then you think - HTC EVO 3D

So recognized developer Chad Goodman, took a look at the Beats codebase back on Feb 18th, and had this to say over at Infectedrom... SOURCE

There is two parts to the Beats equation, Kernel/Driver support, and Rom software support. If you are using a HTC Sense rom with Beats enabled, with the stock Evo 3D kernel, your only getting one part of the benefits. Chad has added the Drivers for Beats (the best drivers are from the Rezound) into the Kernel, so that if you are running one of his kernels AND a rom that supports Beats, you are going to experience the full effect. Chad has also been able to push almost ALL of the audio through the Beats system so that every app takes advantage of it in the newer kernels.

i also disabled any and all audio processing in the DAC (digital to analog converter)
-i feel the DAC should have 1 job, and only 1 job - conert audio from digital to analog... no post-processing of audio, adjusting levels, etc
-all sound and audio processing should be done in the sound chipset - this leaves the CPU alone to perform other tasks
while not 100%, im pretty close to having ALL audio processing done in the sound chipset, removing most of it from the cpu
roms without beats, such as MIUI have noticed a huge improvement in audio quality when comparing audio in my kernel to the tiamat kernel that comes with the rom...

The reason I am posting this is because I am tired of people reading about the over hyped Beats Headphone business and applying it to HTC's Beats implementation. They spent 350 million dollars for a 51% stake in Beats for more then marketing. I personally own two pairs of Beats, Solo HD and Tours, as well as some Sennheisers, and like each pair for a different reason. Talk all the crap on the headphones you want, but with full Beats integration and Beats Solo HD's or Beats Studios (i think they are called), Techno, dubstep, hip-rop, rap, pop, house music fans, and other bass heavy music fans will enjoy the extreme low-frequency performance, (better then my sennheisers that everyone bragged and boasted about and convinced me to buy)

Beats makes a big difference to me. I'm using Turtle Beaches most of the time and they sound good.

Beats user/owner here I noticed a significant difference in roms and Chads kernel. Everything sounds real good, clear and deep bass. Never a dubstep fan until now

Dubstep does sound amazing with beats emulation and the headphones. Just became my favorite genre to hear when I'm doing homework lulz

I am running Z3RD 1.5 with anthrax # 6 on my shooter, and i can confirm that the sound is amazing to say the least. Sounds atleast 10 times better than beats with stock kernel.
