Has anyone of you tried USB DACs with custom roms which support USB-OTG? If so, post brand of USB DAC, user experience and issues you may had.
why would i if the samsung galaxy S is an excellent DAC in itself..just have flash the voodoo kernel ( or a kernel with voodoo sound)..or get the voodoo app
An external DAC/AMP would be still a great option as an upgrade. Still there are better players out there. I'm also using a Sony Z walkman as portable player and its on a league of its own.
Possible that no one has used an external dac from the Galaxy S. I was thinking that all those custom roms listing this feature would have caught some interest.
USB DAC support
So, we have Jelly Bean ported for our devices. Any news about USB DAC support?
In CM10 usb dac can be detected in USB Host Controller app, but sound still plays through the rear speaker of the phone. At first I thought to change /etc/asound.conf to make sound go to the external usb dac, but it seems that this file is not used by the system at all - it can be deleted and everything works fine.

Any developments on this? I'm wondering if I can hook my old i9000 to the phono input of my Hi-Fi and play music stream via DLNA. The built in DAC is very good apparently, but If i can attach an external one, even better.
Has anyone who has the nexus 7 already tried a regular usb dac yet? I'd really like to get a fiio e7 and try it out but not waste the money if it doesn't work. I can also maintain this thread with a list of working dacs if we can figure out if any work.

I am also very Interested In this. I will be getting a tube magic D1 USB DAC and I will see if it works. I am unsure if USB DACS will work but now that Jelly Bean supports USB audio well have to wait and see. I have not gotten my N7 yet but once I do I will be eager to see whether this will work or not.

Don't get your hopes up, as early reports are they won't. Of course, unless the hardware will simply not support it, it's only a matter of time until a custom solution becomes available.
I'm sure we will eventually get working DACs, just looking for any reports that it's working on any existing DACs.

Does not work with my E7 or E17 because Google have not used a standard USB audio implementation. I don't think it will work with any USB DACs unless they are made specifically for it. Disappointing since my Archos G9 and S3 do both work with standard USB DACs.
This was my setup:
A USB OTG cable to a USB to Audio adapter.
It didn't work, and all I got was a loud buzz
I included pictures.
when I get my n7, I'm gonna try my Logitech G330 dongle.

This is completely epic. Thanks for looking out... I'll be trying to put together a passable portable audio rig for around $200. I'm pretty excited about this right now!

i have an Ibasso d2 dac on the way next week, cant wait to try out with my nexus 7, would you mind uploading a copy of your altered asound.conf file? I know its a simple copy and paste into it.. but i messed up my nexus last week doing the same for the front camera 720p profile recording and dont want the same to happen again.. although i've since taken plenty of backups etc!
Cheers,
Mick
Do you experience any out of sync for audio and video on the screen with a DAC?

"eXtream Software Development has managed to get USB audio recording working on Android 3.1 or higher devices! By writing a custom USB audio driver from scratch, both USB audio playback and recording will be possible for a lot of USB audio standard compliant devices.
The driver will completely bypass Android including Android's incapable audio system. The advantages of USB audio and our driver are plenty:
* Finally you will have decent connectivity to your Android device: connect mics with XLR, line inputs, instrument levels inputs, depending on your USB device
* Playback and record in 16 or 24 bit
* Lower, but more important, predictable latency that can fully and automatically be compensated for
* Zero-latency monitoring on the devices that support it
* Control hardware level input gain on the devices that support it
* Multitrack recording capability
The USB audio recorder will be available as a stand-alone app and the USB audio driver will be available as an in-app purchase in our flagship multitrack audio sequencer, Audio Evolution Mobile. Currently, only USB audio spec 1.0 is supported, but this will be solved in a subsequent release. Both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices will be supported however.
Requirements will be an Android 3.1 or higher device and the device must support USB 'host' mode. Most recent devices have 'host' mode luckily. If your device has a micro-USB port, you can connect to full-size USB using a so-called USB OTG cable. No rooting of your device is required.
Testers wanted:
If you are interested in a pre-release alpha version and meet the following requirements, please send an email to info AT audio-evolution.com:
You have one or more Android devices that meet the requirements
You have one or more USB audio devices
You are fluent in English writing
You usually answer to emails within 2 days"

"Ok, so far I've got the following devices working:
Lexicon Omega
Lexicon Alpha
iMic

M-Audio Fast Track
Note that probably a lot more devices are working, but I simply cannot afford to buy them all. Just like the M-Audio Fast Track that I got in this week: I just plugged it in and it worked!"

Is any DAC working with the 4.2.1 update on the Nexus 7 WITHOUT root or custom kernel? Maybe I will root it but I don't want to flash the kernel....
Any experience?
I've tried a EDIROL UA-1X with my OTG cable but it did not work. This DAC is plug n play in windows...
Thanks!
Connected htc One to TV via mhl to HDMI. Video works fine but audio still from phone speakers. Does the phone support audio out via MHL?
If I connect Galaxy S2 to the same TV with the same cable both audio and video a transmitted to TV.
Possibly you need the 11 pin MHL(Note 2, and S4 I believe), and not the 5 pin(which the S2 uses). I am unsure though as I don't use MHL.
Anyone else care to weigh in on this?
I don't think the One uses 11 pin MHL.... I have had experience with HDMI and linux... My guess is it's the TV or an android setting. lol >.> I know that's not very helpful.
Guess it was an occasual bug. The next day everything worked fine. Hope it wont happen again.
Thanks everyone for support.
I just had a co-worker who has a nexus 5 receive the Lollipop update (just plug & play). We just tested with my FiiO E18 and I can confirm that it passes audio via USB to the DAC flawlessly without issue. If you have a DAC and could not use it with your Nexus 5 before rejoice!.
So I need a car-charger USB DAC combo ASAP so I can stop using the incredibly weak headphone out.
Does anyone make one?
OMG this is awesome! finally thanks for pointing this out
Successfully tested a Terratec Phase 26 USB with my Nexus 5, analogue and SPDIF outputs work just fine.

It would be even better if an ADC would also be supported. High quality audio INput.
Hmm, anyone with a suitable USB stick to try?

Hi all,
Is anyone here using the Sabre DAC on the HTC Memul?
my Sabre DAC Works on my HTC M8 but not on my memul!
its even not show using "lsusb"
i just got the USB-C Version of the Sabre DAC and replaced the
cable with a USB-OTG one, tested on my M8, works but not on the Mini 2.
In one Thread i read that the memul supports USB Audio and someone had success with a different device
but in another thread i also read that the memul wont support it.
so, whats true now? what can i do to get it work?
i'am capable of smd/smt reworking , so if there is a mod on the device itself, let me know.
I also read that there are issues with android 7.1
thx for your help!
