Galaxy S and USB Dac

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.

USB DAC Support?

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

"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
Behringer UCA222
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!

[Q] USB Audio DAC

Has anyone successfully paired a USB DAC to the Nexus 6? I know Android 5.0 is supposed to have USB audio support, but 4.4 was too and that didn't work natively on the Nexus 5.
I'm looking into getting the FiiO E18 but want to know if it will actually work without having to install Cyanogen.
I haven't tried my E17 with my phone before, but now you have me curious... I think I need a usb2go cable too, right?

P10 connecting to usb dac

Hello. Has anyone had any luck connecting a USB dac to the Huawei P10?
I saw mention of the FiiO K1 connecting without issues in a Pocketnow review. If my memory serves me correctly.
You having issues?
Not working for me either on a P10+. USB OTG doesn't work either. There might be a setting in the menus somewhere that I haven't found, however.
I have my P10 working with both OTG and LG/B&O Hifi Dac.
There is settings for Usb connection in the developer settings menu. I didn't have any luck with my Ibasso D-zero
Mine is just plug and play, no settings needed, only OTG, when you insert the OTG, a USB logo on top shows up, and you just select files transfer, for file transfer or play direct through OTG with media files.

The setting in the developer menu was set to PTP on my phone, I changed it to MTP and now when I plug my DAC in I can get it to play okay. It sometimes needs me to mess about with the USB icon in the notifications but at least it works now. I'll need to find my USB OTG cable and verify if that has also been resolved.
I just tested with my old Bedringer UCA 222. And that seems to work. So I guess Huawei and Ibasso don't work together.

There is another USB setting also, Lydkilde.. Thats norwegian/danish... In English it would be USB Soundsource or something..
I have a P10 Lite and a Fiio DAC. It does not work for me with most of the apps. However using Neutron Player I can override the OS USB setting and that plays music fine. However its pretty useless as an option when trying to stream from Spotifu or Soundcloud

Thanks for the reply. I have tried setting MTP in dev options with no change. The Hua player does not work for me using the DAC. So far my only joy is with Neutron player, however I am trying to use Soundcloud and Spotify. My otg cable is good as far as I can tell. As I have used it successfully with my Sony Z2
Can CellphoneUSB DAC be used in Spotify? I thougth not... Huawei player is not for USB, You must have Neutron or Onkyo or Poweramp, Sony music player is free and also has USB dac option....
Little help for anyone
Got cables today, cannot post it here, but you can find it on aliexpress:
LEORY Type-C USB 3.1 To USB 3.0 OTG Adapter Type C Data Cable Connector For Macbook For Letv Max For Xiaomi 4C USB C Cable
USB-C to USB-C Cable,0.5m USB Type-C to Type C Cable for ChromeBook Pixel for for MacBook for Lumia 950/950 XL for Nokia N1
Old cables refused to work through adapters. These work properly. USB flash drives are connected. I checked both with external usb-dac. The first one with Fiio x3. The second cable - to connect the dac from LG G5 (Hi-fi plus). Everything is fine Works without dancing with a tambourine.
Resurrecting a dead thread but for anyone still wondering - I took a chance and the Fiio Q1 works with my P10 Plus with a Samsung OTG adapter without changing anything. Using Google Play Music - plug it in and audio output swaps over as soon as I power up the Q1.
I got a usb super speed OTG cable.. I'm very happy with the P10 Spotify Extreme blutooth and flacs and High-res jack...
I have thought about buying a Fiio k1 Dac, just to try it, but don't know if I need it...
Happy with sq and volume and everything, use Poweramp and Sony music centre Jack and LDac other than Spotify..

Sadly, I can't say... Don't have that phone anymore - traded it for a Z2 Play (came with the projector, speaker, battery pack, and camera mods!), traded that for a V30.
It *should* work though, I believe it rerouted all audio output automatically.
Thanks anyway, currently investigating whether it would be good to go on a separate dac/amp + smartphone setup or just a phone with good dac builtin like V30,
For those that are still interested, p20 supports neutron hi-res player settings upto 24bit/192khz. And using razer usb-c DAC dongle works without problems.

USB DAC

Hi,is there anybody using USB DAC with Mido? I have dragonfly Black USB DAC.TheDac seems not compatible with mido.I tried on many ROMs: pixel experience, miuipro, resurrection remix.When I connect the DAC thru USB otg, the sound no longer come out from speaker or audio jack,but there's no sound from DAC output either.
This DAC is working fine in my PC, laptop and Xiaomi RN4 Mediatek with stock miui8.
Is there any rom/patch to enable USB DAC on Mido with Oreo to be specific?
Thanks:good:

I tested my SMSL Audio M3 USB DAC with my Snapdragon Note 4 and it worked immediately without doing anything but plugging the cable. I'm using the unofficial Oreo Resurrection Remix by EndLess. Hope you find an solution to your issue. :good:
