| DNSe 2.0 Advanced Sound Engine |
 |
| Samsung has long been considered to have some of the best sounding portable media devices available, thanks largely in part to the advanced DNSe sound engine. The 2nd generation DNSe 2.0 achieves optimal balance through proper signal processing, enabling portable media devices to recreate the ideal stereo image intended by the music creator. Audiophiles can now enjoy the same acoustic fidelity on the go that they would achieve with their engineered home stereo system. DNSe 2.0 is also optimized specifically for the speaker in the S5, so that sound quality and power is maximized for the small speaker. |

| Videos, Videos and more Videos |
 |
| With the wide array of video formats available on the internet these days, and the ever-growing number of video codecs, converting videos can be a daunting task. Samsung S5 digital media player natively supports MPEG4 (SVI) video. With the use of the Samsung Media Studio (SMS), you can convert just about any video file that plays on your computer to one of these supported formats. SMS will also optimize the video file to the S5’s display so that you can take hours of your favorite videos with you everywhere you go. In fact, on a 4GB S5, you can fit over 9 full-length movies*. |
| * the number of movies will vary depending on encoding quality options and length of movie |
| |
| Not Just an MP3 Player |
| Samsung digital media players are far more than just MP3 players. With native support for several audio formats, you can quickly add your favourite digital audio files to your device without any time-consuming conversion. |
| |
| MP3 is the most widely used digital audio format available. SMS will also let you convert your own CDs into MP3 files with a few clicks. |
| |
| WMA is another widely used format that compresses audio files at a higher rate than MP3. Samsung also supports WMA DRM files, meaning that you can use Samsung devices with all Plays for Sure subscription services. |
| |
| OGG* is a considered to be one of the best sounding digital audio compression codecs available. Very few devices natively support OGG, but Samsung has been a big supporter of the OGG file format. |
| |
| AAC is the Apple® file format used with iTunes® software. Some of Samsung’s newer media players support your ripped iTunes® music files, as well as all purchased DRM-free iTunes® Plus files. |
| |
| * OGG is not natively supported by MTP, you must use SMS to transfer any OGG files to your device. |
| ** Please refer to individual product specification sheets to get the most accurate list of supported file formats. |
