I can confirm that Jack's patch works perfectly on the i9300 running AOSPA 2.99. Now to flash Liquid Smooth as a second ROM. Android nirvana is at hand.
Has anyone successfully gotten an AudioQuest DragonFly to work with Android natively without USB Audio Recorder PRO?
Here's my current setup:

External battery powering the DragonFly, with one end of the Y cable going to the DragonFly and the other to the battery, plugged into the Nexus 7 via an OTG cable. I cut off power supply from the Nexus to the DragonFly by taping down the +5V pin on the Y cable, so the only thing powering it is the battery.
The Y cable/battery rig works fine when plugged into a computer rather than an Android device. It also works fine with USB Audio Recorder PRO (after tweaking some settings - namely setting the buffer to the highest setting). But Android won't natively output sound to it.
I got the idea of running an external battery off a Y cable after reading that some devices might not be able to supply a full 500 mA to the DragonFly, but it seems to work fine on my Nexus 7 with USB Audio Recorder PRO under both circumstances (battery or not). If I can't get this working, I guess I essentially get a battery powered DragonFly, though I'm not sure how clean power coming out of the Powergen battery is compared to my laptop anyway...
i want a portable dac/amp to go with my i9300 and ue6000 headphones that's under $150. Any suggestions? I am thinking of getting the xperia z soon so I want a dac that can give me better sound with the z than I can get with the s3 w/ wolfson dac.
Have you tried comparing use time of your 7 and DF with and without the external battery?

Did you try the jacknorris' USB Hotplug patch thats on XDA Developers yet? Which kernel are you using?
I have both the the USB hotplug patch, and flashed Timur's kernel on my Nexus 7. I had a chance to do a quick 10 minute test with the DragonFly. When I plugged in the DragonFly straight into the N7 via the OTG cable, the dragonfly lite up (a good sign), but both Neutron MP and the stock music player produce any music. I think the problem is the volume control... as of right now, there is no way of controlling the volume when you have the DragonFly plugged in. Once jacknorris tweaks the patch, then it might work.
The sound of my old ipod is bad, but still better than my quite crappy HTC sensation. Since i already have a Fiio E7 i now eye a chance of playing music through the E7 using the HTC! This would allow me to completely forget about the ipod + itunes combo, while enjoying vastly improved sound quality!
