2 Candidate Interview Reviews Back to all InterviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
- No OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Clark Construction Group (Oakland, CA) in August 2012.
It took them 3 months to go through the whole process—from acceptance of the application materials to disclosing their decision. I interviewed with 4 individuals—not exactly a panel, since we all sat around a very large table. Each asked follow-up questions to my answers to the main interviewer's questions. I provided additional copies of my résumé, as all but one of the interviewers had a copy. They maintained a neutral affect during most of the interview.
Interview Questions
- Describe your interest in the field of construction management. Describe your interest in the internship. What do you bring to the position? 1 Answer
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Clark Construction Group (Oakland, CA) in November 2009.
The overall interview process was positive. My initial interview happened after a referral at an industry event which resulted in a 3 hour dinner with a Project Manager. After the dinner, I later interviewed with the human resource department, who then lined up an entire day of interviews at the headquarters in Washington DC. After the interview process, the communications between myself and HR went cold and I didn't hear anything back. I then utilized my initial connections to get HR's attention to issue an offer for the position.
Interview Questions
- How will your line of study be of value to the company in the field? What would you say to someone if they didn't want you working for them because of your line of study? Answer Question
At the time I received the offer, leverage to negotiate was very slim due to the economy. However, I feel I received a fair offer due to the fact that I had an exact same offer from a competitor.

She held court at Harpo Studios almost every weekday for a quarter-century – some 4,561 shows in all.
So, Oprah Winfrey was bound to miss some things about her daily talk show after the final episode aired on May 25, 2011.
Now, almost two years after stepping down, Winfrey reveals to Steve Harvey – on his own newly successful Chicago-based talk show – the thing she misses most about being the queen of daytime TV.
In a word, it's the audience.
"I got a little choked up seeing you guys today, because what I really miss is the camaraderie with the audience every day. … I did that for 25 years," says Winfrey, 59, during an interview airing Friday.
Not that she regrets leaving, but it has been bittersweet.

I'm primarily from an ASP.Net background with some MVC. I've also done a little Silverlight and MVVM, however I'm now about to move into Winforms which I have very little experience of, so I'm wondering how to tackle MVP.
Typical MVP samples show the presenter setting a view property (via some kind of IView interface), with the concrete view putting that property value into a textbox for example. Instead of this archaic approach, can one utilise INotifyPropertyChanged in MVP, and if so how? A very quick example would be really useful!
If I was to create a model that implemented INotifyPropertyChanged then isn't this more like MVVM? (i.e. the presenter updates the model, and via the magic of INotifyPropertyChanged the view gets updated). Yet everywhere I've read about MVVM and Winforms, people say it isn't suitable. Why? My understanding is that you can databind just about any control's property, so what's Winforms missing? I'm trying to understand the shortcomings of databinding in Winforms compared to WPF, and why MVVM can't be used, as it seems simpler to implement than MVP.
Thanks in advance Andy.

Keela added a post in a topic Vietnamese Spring Roll Wrappers - Gluten Free!
You don't have to bake them long because they are not raw dough. Just heat them through, if they become too hard for your taste wrap or drape a wet paper towel over the food and microwave for 20 seconds. This will help soften the rice papers back to be edible.
Keela added a post in a topic Lemon Jello By Kraft?I've used it in lemon chiffon cakes several times and have never had a reaction. Kraft has wonderful labeling!
Keela added a post in a topic First SleepoverI agree with pancakes or waffles for breakfast. You could do a vegan chili over French fries or a baked potato, throw the chili together in a Crockpot so you don't have to stand over a stove all day.Also any kind of pasta with a tomato sauce would be fun...
Any time I had a friend over when I was little my mom would let us make a dessert. I never really cared what we were eating because I was so excited for the dessert my friend and I made.
Keela added a post in a topic Vietnamese Spring Roll Wrappers - Gluten Free!I love these! I have fried them and sprinkled them with cinnamon sugar to make sopapillas, made individual spanakopita, and pretty much anything else that needs phylo dough including Bakalava!!!
Keela added a post in a topic Fried Green TomatoesI use rice flour with seasonings mixed in... I think rice flour is crisper than other flours, but it won't turn golden brown.
Keela added a post in a topic Slow Cooker IdeasMake a roux to thicken any sauce melt 1/4c. butter or margarine and whisk in 1/4 c. Whatever flour you have on hand then cook for 5-8 min. Then whisk 2c. Of your sauce or stock and when it its blended pour it back into the original dish. You can always leave out the onions. Just increase your other seasonings to make up for leaving then out.
Keela added a post in a topic Best Cleaner To De-Gluten The KitchenThere are many different levels of sensitivity so some people will have reactions to particles unseen with the naked eye and some won't. I use soap and water to clean my kitchen every time it is used, but my mother uses a mix of bleach water to sanatize her counters as she is much more sensitive than I am. I haven't thought of 409 but I'll be sure to tell mom about it!
Keela added a post in a topic Converting Cookie RecipesAdd extra flour. I usually add at least half a cup. Also chilling your dough on your cookie sheet can help the cookies not spread.
Keela added a post in a topic Another 'just One Crumb' And Cc QuestionThe quickest way around this issue is to train your family in the scoop then spread method. Use a spoon to scoop what you want out of the jar and drop it onto whatever you ate eating. Then use a separate utensil to spread on your food. If you want more use the spoon again. If you can trust the people sharing your jar you will never have this problem again. We use it at home, but I don't share with my coworkers... They just don't get it.
Keela added a post in a topic Cooking Class - Would It Be Worth It To Take One?http://www.glutenfreecookingschool.com/
I love this site... most of the recipes are very easy to follow and she has an on line course. All the recipes I have tried have been amazing.
Keela added a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes - Baking & Cooking TipsCookie Dough Ice CreamI MISS cookie dough ice cream!!! I can't stand not having it and TCBY mocks me when I drive past So I decided to make my own. I finally figured out how to make my own and decided I needed to share!
Warning!! This recipe is not for those on diets. *I ate half of mine while I was making the dough.
First clear out space in your freezer. You will need a level space to fit a cookie sheet.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper. You do not want to oil a pan so the dough won't stick... not a good idea.
1/2 c. butter, melted
1/2 c. brown sugar, packed
1/4 c. white sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 tbsp. milk
1 1/4 c. flour ( I used Pamela's baking and pancake mix)
1 c. mini chocolate chips
Mix butter sugars vanilla and milk. Keep mixing until well combined.
Stir in flour and chocolate chips.
Form into 1/4 tsp. size balls. Or roll into log shape and slice thin.
Place evenly on cookie sheet and freeze for 2 hours.
Move dough into pint size zip top bag and store in the freezer for about a month.
Mix into vanilla ice cream for the classic taste or a double chocolate ice-cream for a sugar rush.
I haven't tried this recipe dairy free yet, but I think it will convert well.
Hope you enjoy!

Keela added a post in a topic Back On Gluten To Get TestedI was 99% gluten free for 2 years and then did a six month gluten challenge eating 2 slices of bread a day. My results were negative, but my symptoms all went away with in a month after going back gluten free. Earning me a 'non celiac gluten intolerant' diagnosis.
My doctor suggested I did not eat enough gluten, but I could not eat any more... I tried but I couldn't function eating more than 2 slices. I think it depends on your individual metabolism. What may not have been enough for me could be plenty for you. I hope you can get the diagnosis you want!
Keela added a post in a topic Tell Me What Glutened Me From This List:Did you check your pork? I have bought roast before that had wheat flour on it to help with browning... It's annoying really
Keela added a post in a topic Will My Friends And Family Believe Me...I tested negative for wheat allergies and celiac... When my family asked why I don't eat it I explain what happens to me in graphic detail... Very graphic. They only ask once
Keela added a post in a topic Tell Me What Glutened Me From This List:Here is my BBQ sauce recipe, it's easy and takes 10 min.
BBQ sauce aka Sassy Sauce
Yields 3 cups
2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon red pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 cup prepared yellow mustard
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dales or liquid smoke seasoning
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons canola oil
Combine everything except oil and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 min. Simmer for 8 min
Remove from heat and whisk in oil.
That's it!

Happy hunters show off their Sutter Mill meteorite "gold"
I never tire of photos from the California meteorite hunt and thought you'd enjoy seeing more of them, too. Take a look at the happy faces of people who've found or bought meteorites that fell from the sky over Sutter's Mill, Lotus Park and the Coloma area. The total take of cosmic booty as of May 2, 2012 isn't much – about 28 stones weighing about 226 grams or half a pound.
On the down side, the price of the meteorites sold and considered for sale hovers around $1000 or more per gram. While this is a rare variety of meteorite, it's not THAT rare. Lunar and Martian meteorites, which are rarer yet, typically sell for the same price.
The Bible of meteorite data, the Meteoritical Bulletin, lists 446 CM chondrite meteorites like the California fall and 258 planetary meteorites found on Earth that came from the moon and Mars. Some of the price inflation comes from hype (guess I'm a little to blame), some due to the small amount of material found thus far and some because of the notoriety of where it fell. After all, Sutter's Mill was the site of the original California Gold Rush.
I want to thank all the hunters who've been so kind to share their images with me and in turn, with you.

Hi Bob,
I haven't had time to read all your posts but noticed what Carol wrote; "They're magnetic and passed the scratch test."
Really? they're magnetic?, and what's the scratch test?
I own property in the area and all I found so far was a 12 year old rattler.
Want to buy a rattle? It's a great way to get your partners attention while they're searching for meteors!
Hi kevin, the 4yr old is my daughter Lorraine. We went to camp lotus on saturday after watching the news report friday night. We got to camp lotus at 12pm. My wife went with lorraine and my son and I went searching for black rocks. At about 1230 we noticed lorraine had found what we thaught was a meteorite. We took it over to the NASA researcher the in coloma and he confirmed she had made history!
Hey Bob! I was trying to figure the path of the meteorite and can't find the point it entered the atmosphere. Do you know where? But most of all I'm now curious what these photos of other specimens you are being sent look like, especially if they're not meteorites. I once carried 70lbs of rock a mile uphill and took it home only to find out what i thought was gold was actually just quartz littered with pyrite. I still keep those quartz rocks. They were once worth 70lbs of gold to me. Needles to say i now know the differences between fools gold and the real thing.
HI AstroBob,
So, I live in the foothills, and I spent all day yesterday in the Coloma – Lotus, CA area…just hanging out, and doing what everyone else is doing…looking for those meteorites I keep reading, and educating myself….and there are discrepancies on a few websites…, I would love to send you some pictures, of what I found…because the first BIG thing, is that they all were found in the same area , and they are VERY MAGNETIC…..so any help at this point would be greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful day, hope to hear from you soon.
Went home Thursday, stayed at Camp Lotus last night. Found sun burns, mosquito bites and several verities of scat. Today I'll probably get poison oak hiking through the state park. I'd say I've had no luck but this certainly seems like some sort of bad luck. I'm determined to find one though. I can't wait to show it to you.
Thought you might find this interesting Bob.

The employer benefits survey is also scored on a 100-point scale, accounting for the other third of the overall score, and resulting in a total possible score of 300 points.
How to enter the 100 Best:
To be considered for the 100 Best Green Companies, employers must sign up for the general 100 Best Companies survey (beginning in August) or the 100 Best Nonprofits survey (beginning in April).

At 90, saving, sharing and planning for 100
This week's Moneyville Makeover looks at Alex and Esther who are comfortable in retirement, but are still concerned about their future.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Alex and Esther are able to save and share much of their $80,000 annual income, yet are still concerned about their future.
"Our doctor tells us that we will live to 100," the 90-year-old husband writes by email.
He and his equally remarkable wife no longer travel far; yet remain socially active, in "reasonably good health", and fully capable of managing their own finances.
Alex does worry about dying first, however. Much of their income would disappear; 40 per cent of his employer pension and Canada Pension, and all of his Old Age Security.
His wife and daughter — whom they support by paying her mortgage—would depend more on investment income, and draw more from savings. Interest rates are low, but not expected to remain so indefinitely. Stock markets are volatile.
"I have not used a financial adviser for over 12 years," Alex writes. "My wife feels I should get some advice regarding our financial situation."
We turned to Shelley Smith, a personal financial planner with TD Waterhouse Financial Planning. She proposed one way to cut monthly expenses, and two strategies to raise and secure income.
Step One: Approximately half of the couple's nonregistered savings are in bank accounts or guaranteed investment certificates (GICs), not earning enough interest after taxes to keep up with rising prices.
"I recommend they pay off their daughter's ($94,000) mortgage balance at maturity next August, thereby reducing their monthly debt obligation," Smith suggests.
It's a waste to pay 4.6 per cent interest for the mortgage while earning far less on their savings. Eliminating the mortgage would cut their expenses by $8,400 a year. Yet, by waiting until August, they would avoid an early payment penalty.
To avoid hard feelings within the family, Alex and Esther might consider adjusting their wills to reflect this early distribution from their estate.
Step Two: Smith recommends the couple keep $10,000 of nonregistered savings for emergency needs, and invest the remaining $60,000 in a way that would pay a blend of taxable interest and tax-paid capital.
They could choose the type of annuity available from banks that would guarantee payments for a set number of years, or one that would pay for life (with a guaranteed payment period) from a life insurer.
The option Smith suggests is a 'return of capital' mutual fund, designed to provide a tax-efficient monthly cash flow from a nonregistered account. The portion of the investor's original investment that gradually paid back to him or her is not considered income or capital gains, and is therefore not taxable. Investors are able to defer capital gains tax until they redeem their investment.
"For example," Smith notes, "an ROC fund with an 8 per cent annual distribution would provide the couple with a consistent monthly income of $400."
"While Alex's work pension will reduce by $1,000 (per month) upon his death, Esther will still receive $1,200 monthly, (not fully indexed to inflation). This amount, in addition to her government pensions and new investment income of $400, will provide her with a stable monthly income of approximately $2,300, sufficient to cover the household expenses.
"Once we include the annual income of $19,475 from registered retirement income funds, Esther's total annual income increases to $47,000."
Step Three: Don't give up on the stock market.
"Given their age, Alex and Esther would like advice on whether they should move out of equity assets and into GICs," says Smith.
"But with real interest yields at zero (after deducting for the loss of purchasing power due to inflation), assets perceived to be safe will result in erosion of their purchasing power over the next 10 years.
"Savers are having to buy different (riskier) asset classes to try and achieve the return they have received in the past. However, with a reasonable time horizon and a focus on quality, dividend-paying companies, their expected returns should be better than GICs.
"They may be perceived as riskier than a GIC over the short term, but greater exposure to equities (stocks) is more likely to help this couple meet their retirement income needs."
Step Three B: Don't give up on bonds, but don't rely on them exclusively.
Alex and Esther have a significant portion of their registered retirement income funds invested in bonds, at a time when the interest yield on government and high-quality corporate bonds is at an all-time low.
"With bond yields between 2 and 3 per cent, there is little remaining for investors after taxes and inflation," says Smith.
"Fixed income securities continue to provide stability and capital preservation, (but) from a total-return perspective, Alex and Esther's retirement income needs will be better served through a diversified portfolio (including stocks and bonds)."
"I am not recommending that everyone move into equities, but client goals cannot be achieved in fixed income alone as the returns of the past cannot be repeated going forward," says Smith.

Esther 88, Alex 90
Their situation
They have ample income and assets to reach age 100, as their doctor predicts they will do together. But Alex is helping a daughter, and if he were to die, Esther would receive less pension income.
The strategy
Pay off their daughter's 4.6 per cent mortgage and invest $60,000 to guarantee Esther $400 of monthly income. Choose dividend-paying stocks of solid companies over guaranteed income certificates, and keep bonds as part of diversified portfolio.

OmpU as a biomarker for rapid discrimination between toxigenic and epidemic Vibrio cholerae O1/O139 and non-epidemic Vibrio cholerae in a modified MALDI-TOF MS assay

BMC Microbiology 2014, 14:158 doi:10.1186/1471-2180-14-158Published: 18 June 2014
Cholera is an acute diarrheal disease caused by Vibrio cholerae. Outbreaks are caused by a genetically homogenous group of strains from serogroup O1 or O139 that are able to produce the cholera toxin. Rapid detection and identification of these epidemic strains is essential for an effective response to cholera outbreaks.
The use of ferulic acid as a matrix in a new MALDI-TOF MS assay increased the measurable mass range of existing MALDI-TOF MS protocols for bacterial identification. The assay enabled rapid discrimination between epidemic V. cholerae O1/O139 strains and other less pathogenic V. cholerae strains. OmpU, an outer membrane protein whose amino acid sequence is highly conserved among epidemic strains of V. cholerae, appeared as a discriminatory marker in the novel MALDI-TOF MS assay.
The extended mass range of MALDI-TOF MS measurements obtained by using ferulic acid improved the screening for biomarkers in complex protein mixtures. Differences in the mass of abundant homologous proteins due to variation in amino acid sequences can rapidly be examined in multiple samples. Here, a rapid MALDI-TOF MS assay was developed that could discriminate between epidemic O1/O139 strains and other less pathogenic V. cholerae strains based on differences in mass of the OmpU protein. It appeared that the amino acid sequence of OmpU from epidemic V. cholerae O1/O139 strains is unique and highly conserved.

The Gallery's holdings of portraits of Mick Jagger, began with this gift from Cecil Beaton of his portrait of Jagger taken in Morocco in 1967. Beaton wrote in his diary: 'At last an opportunity to photograph one of the most elusive people, whom I admire and am fascinated by, not determined whether he is beautiful or hideous.' Beaton added: 'Mick talked of the struggles to success...and now it had come...He would like a house somewhere with thirty acres. They'd worked so hard.'

New patients receive member pricing, a discount card for their next visit, and a penny pre-roll out the door!
Not as good as it used to be
While the staff is still good, the medical side has taken a hit on selection since the retail side opened. The sativa selection is NEVER good. Usually only 3 varieties & 1 is always shake. When you get buds, they're small & more frequently there are seeds & twigs w/shake. I wonder if the retail side experiences this? Disappointing, because the staff is great & the location is convenient.
This place used to be great.
I used to frequent this place a lot and also signed them as my caregiver. However, since they opened up the recreational side, the quality has gone way down on the medical side. They no longer take credit cards (you can figure out why). On the medical side they never have what you're looking for. Which should be a big deal. But they don't ever really seem to care. There is always some excuse why they don't have that strain you want. So you're stuck buying something else. Or forced to go somewhere else. Which I have. It's a buyers market. My last handful of experiences have been disappointing and I doubt I'll be going back. Which should tell you something, considering several months ago I left a great review and which they totally deserved at the time. But don't ask for a good review when the experiences have been bad!
Great staff!
I've been coming here for just about nine months pretty regularly. The thing that shines most about this ship is their insanely friendly staff. Most of them know me by face if not by name and I'm always welcomed warmly. The only negative I can mention is the last few times I've actually purchased flower in lieu of shake, the buds have either been overcured or completely gone to seed. When I purchase 2 grams of flower, I don't expect to find 5-7 seeds in my jar. If you can fix this, I'll surely be back!
New medical patient - went tp recreational side for information only. Staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Atmosphere is friendly and inviting withou being intimidating. All of my questions were answered with a smile and respect. Even though I live in Boulder I'll definitely drive over to shop.

WILMINGTON, Del. — A 64-year-old Georgetown, Del., man was sentenced Tuesday to 15 years in federal prison for receipt of child pornography. The sentencing follows an investigation by the Delaware Child Predator Task Force and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
William Zimmerman was also sentenced to 10 years of supervised release following his prison sentence. He also will be required to continue to register as a sex offender in any jurisdiction in which he lives, works, or attends school.
Zimmerman was previously convicted 1988 in Delaware of unlawful sexual contact second degree and possession of child pornography in 1993. He served four years in prison for the child pornography offense, and was released from custody in 1997. At the time of the instant offense, he was registered as a sex offender as required by Delaware and federal law.
According to statements made and documents filed in court, Zimmerman came to the attention of the task force during its investigation of Roger Cordero and David Pennington, two other registered child sex offenders living in Delaware, who had met while incarcerated at the Smyrna Correctional Institution for other child sexual offenses. In December 2012, the task force conducted residential searches at Cordero and Pennington's residences. They recovered computers containing thousands of images of child pornography and handwritten stories relating to child sexual abuse from Cordero's residence, and found a cellphone referencing child pornography images at Pennington's residence.
Pennington, who was then wearing an electronic monitoring device due to a state probation violation, provided the task force officers with information about Zimmerman, whom Pennington met in sex offender therapy. In particular, Pennington admitted that he and Zimmerman viewed child pornography together on a computer located at Zimmerman's residence. They did this at Zimmerman's residence because Pennington was on active probation and was prohibited from possessing a computer in his residence. Pennington also admitted that Zimmerman had sent him cellphone text messages attaching images of child pornography.
On Jan. 8, 2013, task force officers executed a state search warrant at Zimmerman's Georgetown residence. They recovered several pieces of computer equipment found to contain more than 2,300 images of child pornography. The images featured children, mostly boys, ranging in age from infancy to mid-teen, who were posed or engaged in sexual acts with adult males.
In the spring 2013, the Delaware Attorney General's Office referred the Cordero and Zimmerman cases to the United States Attorney's Office for federal prosecution. The Delaware Attorney General's Office proceeded with a state prosecution of David Pennington, which resulted in Pennington being sentenced to 28 years in prison in October 2013.
U.S. Attorney Charles M. Oberly, III stated, "With the active cooperation of state and federal authorities, three serious child predators have been taken into custody. Zimmerman and Pennington have pleaded guilty and received sentences of 15 and 28 years. Cordero is scheduled for trial in June 2014 and faces a mandatory minimum term of 35 to 60 years of incarceration if convicted. These cases serve as an example of what can be achieved through the mutual cooperation of state and federal law enforcement."
Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden credited the Delaware Child Predator Task Force with identifying all three defendants after receiving a CyberTip in late 2012 from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
"These individuals will never again be a threat to children. After receiving a CyberTip the Child Predator Task Force worked quickly to uncover a child pornography network operating locally in our State and took three dangerous predators off the streets," said Biden. "Thanks to its excellent investigation and to our strong partnership with state and federal law enforcement agencies we're using the full force of the law to protect children."
All three cases were brought as part of the U.S. Department of Justice's Project Safe Childhood Program, which was launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of online child sexual exploitation and abuse. Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue child victims. Under this program, the Delaware Attorney General's Office, the U.S. Attorney's Office, the Delaware State Police and HSI Wilmington have worked together to investigate and prosecute Zimmerman, Cordero and Pennington.
The investigation is part of HSI's Operation Predator, an international initiative to protect children from sexual predators. Since the launch of Operation Predator in 2003, HSI has arrested more than 10,000 individuals for crimes against children, including the production and distribution of online child pornography, traveling overseas for sex with minors, and sex trafficking of children. In fiscal year 2013, more than 2,000 individuals were arrested by HSI special agents under this initiative.
HSI encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free Tip Line at 1-866-DHS-2-ICE or by completing its online tip form. Both are staffed around the clock by investigators. Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner, via its toll-free 24-hour hotline, 1-800-THE-LOST.
For additional information about wanted suspected child predators, download HSI's Operation Predator smartphone app or visit the online suspect alerts page.
HSI is a founding member and current chair of the Virtual Global Taskforce, an international alliance of law enforcement agencies and private industry sector partners working together to prevent and deter online child sexual abuse.

My guess is that only the Exynos-equipped Note 3's will actually have the Wolfson audio chip.
That's what I'm thinking. I really was going to get Note3 with Wolfson because ever since I upgraded to S4(snapdragon) from Note2, I've been hating the sound. But I guess I'm out of luck as they are probably going to use Snapdragon's crappy DAC on their Note3. I guess I have to go with next iPhone.
I don't want to. But I really hate S4's sound. fk

I guess we won't know what DAC is in which variant until they ship and places like ifixit starts looking inside. I read somewhere that LG had rewritten the ALSA stack (whatever that is) to achieve 24 bit. Samsung must have done the same thing. I am like Tyll Hertsen in that I no longer want, or feel the need, to pack around another dac/amp or DAP. Just like I no longer pack around a camera. If I was more discerning I might want more devices.
Since the US Note 3 will have that Snapdragon chipset crap, more than likely we will have that stupid built in DAC to that chipset.

Can't speak to the E07K, but it definitely has USB audio - I had a Note 3 to play with for like half the weekend just gone and confirmed it with several DACs :)

Solid. I think I may hold for until after release, but it's definitely encouraging! Thanks!
Awesome! Thanks a lot. Definitely on board now. I just hope it doesn't have a inferior onboard chip compared the Wolfson the Note 2 had. If I can use the Note 3 with the Centrance Hifi-M8 I'll live with it though.
Why do us US folk get cursed with these different CPU's with built in DACs? lol that's stupid! they made LTE work with the Note 2 and didn't give us that qualcomm with their crap on chip DAC! I don't understand at all why it's still an issue with LTE that it warrants the US variant to have a different CPU.
I think my Note 2 sounds pretty good though. I run AOSP on my L900 with a custom Kernel and Stweaks for audio control. Now if only we could get rid of that dammed 16bit limit in Android! it re-samples anything over CD quality to CD quality.
Surely it doesn't matter what chip it comes with if we will end up using a DAC? Or does it still matter?
It does because I am sure that using an external DAC without touchwiz wont work, because stock android still does not support that for some reason.
Not all of us like crappy Touchwiz and samsungs ROM's. I personally HATE Touchwiz and if you've got SPRINT like I DO than a constant roaming banner and alert noise will pop up on that ROM and you cannot disable the awful thing. I use CM10.1 to get away from that annoying roaming notification!
No, but it would be nice for it to not sound awful when you're not connected. The Hifi-M8 is not exactly pocket friendly :)
