I was if Note is able to output "digital" audio signal via it's micro usb port. So, it can connect to a external DAC for better processing. Has anyone tried this or know where I can buy adapter for this purpose?

There has been some discussion in using an MHL HDMI adaptor and then an HDMI to digital out, like TOSLINK/OPTICAL. A bit clunky. The HMDI must output digital audio. I would like to see someone try it and report. I've found the sound quality a bit crappy.
Try playing a FLAC file as opposed to MP3. Really not worth bothering with MP3 if you are looking at an external DAC.
So I found this
Expensive but its an HDMI to headphone amp. 24/192k 110dB
Some newer HTav amps have HDMI input, would love to see someone hook up a note to one and report on audio quality!
and this. Bit cheaper, but if anyone has one, rip it open and tell us what the chips are!
The s3 has usb audio support. Check it out over in the S3 forums or google it. only certain usb dacs are Supported hopefully it will be ported to the Note! if you have ICS, root and a usb audio device you could check dmesg output. Can't post links from my phone. I read about the glandos kernel that might be worth looking at. Its some exciting development.

Having read through previous threads, I can't seem to find a fix for not receiving any sound through the HDMI connection.
I've tried with 2 different HDMI cables, multiple HDMI inputs including ARC on both the TV and the Samsung 5.1 surround sound system.
Also tried manipulating the Accessory settings to no avail.
Any help or new suggestions would be greatly appreciated, otherwise 3.5m audio jack connection it is!

When I was looking at the dock, I'm pretty sure the 3.5mm output had to be used for the audio. The only people that can confirm are the ones that have them I guess.

I have the dock, I simply can't get audio through the HDMI connection for some reason. Other users are reporting that they can indeed receive audio through the HDMI connection.
It's a thinker!

The site does say:
You can even connect your Samsung Galaxy Note II to your home theater via the 3.5mm stereo connector for an immersive audio experience.
If it simply just worked through HDMI, I don't think Samsung would have said anything. Not saying you're wrong. Just saying from a media / marketing stand point.
I have no problem with sound through hdmi. That are my settings what work for me with lg tv

That worked great for me thanks! I knew it was possible, I just wasn't sure whether it was a settings or hardware issue! Seems kinda counterintuitive that the setting I had to untick was allowing sound through external speakers!? :silly:
Nice. Glad you got it. Samsung Y U Confuse me.

I'm currently looking into getting a good pair of headphones. Because both my laptop and (allegedly, still waiting for my oneplus 3) the phone have suboptimal audio output over the 3.5mm port, I'm also looking into buying an external dac/amp combo. Amongst others I have been looking at devices such as the OPPO HA-2SE, the JDSL C5D, the Fiio E17 and the Onkyo HA-200.
A common theme amongst these devices seems to be a somewhat dodgy Android compatibility. Often it seems to depend on the exact phone if it will work or not. Sometimes it will only work using certain music apps, sometimes it will not work at all. My primary requirement is a dac which works well with Spotify.
Has anyone here got any experience using the oneplus 3 with an external dac? Experience any drawbacks or problems? Any particular dac you could recommend?
Hi,
It's working fine with my Topping NX-2 external dac. No issues found, using USB player PRO, Spotify etc.
Sent from my Xperia Z2 Tablet (AOSP) using XDA Premium HD app
i have a dragonfly red and you cannot control the internal volume of the dac so the volume is low when used with spotify its fine with usb audio player pro, volume can be controlled with that app.
if your dac has a volume knob then you will be good to go just make sure you get the right kind of usb c otg cable

Thanks for the info. Any particular cable you'd recommend since the official Oneplus cable is out of stock?
Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142005255365
The official oneplus cable is for the oneplus 2 specifically so avoid that.
This cable will do it.
Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231822737522
I own this 1 works perfect.

Just ordered this, much simpler wire if you are using a portable DAC. It cuts out using an adapter. Going to test it on my OPPO HA-2 when the wire arrives. Will post back with the outcome.
Hello. I need cable to plug Audioquest Dragonfly to my OnePlus 3 and I dont want to break anything. Is there any Benson Leung proved cables available? USB C to USB A(female).

Actually smth is wrong with the playback. YouTube just won't load the videos if connected and Spotify won't produce sound even if the timer goes on...

Mine is working fine with the Oppo HA-2 and the ebay wire. Did you enable OTG Support in the settings on the phone? My oneplus 3 is on the latest stock Oxygen OS btw.

What otg support setting are you talking about?
Tried with UAPP and it worked, but I don't play songs locally, but from Spotify.

Oppo HA-2
Hi, I have also bought an Oppo HA-2 and its working with my OP3, but the strange thing is that my Oppo HA-2 is being charged of my OP3, so it is draining my OP3 and I cannot set the HA-2 as a batterybar while connected to my OP3. Anyone had this problem?
I got FiiO E17K Alpen 2 as my portable Amp/DAC and it works perfectly with OP3 through 3.5" jack or USB.
After updating to nougat I have a problems using external DAC (Xduoo XD-05). I was using Hibymusic before update, but now it's not asking for permission to use USB device (neither when starting app after connecting DAC, nor when plugging in DAC and then starting app), and not working properly. I also tried USB audio player pro (UAPP), but it crashes every 10 or so minutes and it's unusable. Developer of UAPP says it's bug OnePlus 3 itself. I have tried multiple combinations of any USB-related options in settings, but it does not have any effect. onkyo and some other players unusable because of their awful interface. Anyone else experienced such problems?
Did you find any solution?
I just invested in a fiio K1 DAC and found out it's not working with the oneplus 3 on nougat... there's little info out there concerning this issue.

Hi,
From my memory when I was investigating which DAC to buy, the Fiio K1 do not support OTG so it will not work with OP3
Roy
I did my research too, it does support otg, it works on every other device I, shield tablet on m, and my LG g4 on L, apparently this worked with MM on the 1+3, I reached out to oneplus today though so ya never know.
Update: Apparently I have a faulty unit, gotta send it back. Flashed back to stock marshmallow, nada, stock nougat, nada. Just clicks and pops coming out of it, but it's recognized by poweramp, so something is amiss.

I use a Creative Labs Soundblaster E3.
Fantastic sound for me but I am by no measure a serious audiophile. Also very versatile... I can connect using the 3.5mm headphone jack, USB connector or Bluetooth.
https://www.megatechnews.com/megate...d-blaster-e3-usb-dac-and-headphone-amplifier/
It's the middle ground of the Soundblaster range as they also make the E1 (entry level) and E5 (flagship).

Hi guys I was not too happy with the built in dac on the note 8 and a friend recommended buying a usb c to headphone adapter as apparently have there own dac built in so I bought the htc one http://www.htc.com/uk/accessories/usb-c-digital-to-3-5mm/
And I don't know if I'm hearing things but it does sound louder with the adapter or am I just hearing it different?
My question is if it's true about these adapters having there own dac is there a better one the the htc obviously in a reasonable price range ive seen the one with the razor phone is ment to be good
And if this is the case I don't see the big fuss about looking the headphone jack if we can get great sound from the adapters lol
Thanks

Are you sure your friend didn't say that usb would use the headunit dac instead? I know that works that way, usb c to usb into my headunit for direct file play using only the headunit dac not headunit dac+ phone dac. No, I can't see any adapters your talking about having built into dac.
I can also tell you that I can't use high res in poweramp through usb or UHQ upscaler in settings with usb audio. I prob won't use it much due to those reasons, or Bluetooth for poor audio quality and no uhq upscaler either. Leaving aux for being the best for audio on this phone.

The moment you use the usb-c port to play your music, it bypasses the internal DAC. This is why ALL usb-c earbuds etc have their own DAC. I honestly doubt an adapter-DAC combo less than 10 pounds will outperform the DAC in the Note 8.
There is a major distinction between
1. How the DAC processes and shapes your music.
2. How 'powerful' it is and if it can handle high impedance headphones.
Seems to me that no. 2 is likely but definitely not no.1 with the adapter you linked.
It is well known that LOUDNESS(not volume) often comes across as BETTER quality sound.
Thanks guys I'm no audiophile I just wanted better and louder sound which the usb c headphone adapter seems (placebo maybe) do I've looked around on Amazon with a few of them claiming that they have decent dac built it
Do these dac in the adapters bypass the phone dac or something ?
