No!

 

The S3, a OTG device, has a Micro-AB receptacle which can accept a Micro-A plug or a Micro-B plug.

A non-OTG device has only a Micro-B receptacle which can only accept a Micro-B plug.

 

 

"3.1 USB 2.0 Specification Compliance 
Any device with Micro-USB features is first and foremost a USB peripheral that is compliant with the USB 2.0 specification.   
 
3.2 On-The-Go Device 
Any OTG Micro-USB device shall conform to the OTG requirements as set forth in the On-The-Go Supplement to the USB 2.0 Specification. 
 
3.3 Connectors 
The USB 2.0 specification defines the following connectors: 
• Standard-A plug and receptacle, 
• Standard-B plug and receptacle, and 
• Mini-B plug and receptacle. 
 
The Micro-USB specification defines the following additional connectors: 
• Micro-B plug and receptacle 
• Micro-AB receptacle 
• Micro-A plug."
 
 
The following cable seller has a right description of his cable:
 
"What is the OTG Cable?
When attached to a PC an OTG device requires a cable which has a USB Standard-A plug on one end and a Micro-B plug on the other end. In order to attach a peripheral to an OTG device the peripheral either needs to have a cable ending in a Micro-A plug which is inserted into the OTG device's Micro-AB receptacle or the OTG device itself needs an adapter cable which has a Micro-A plug on one end and a Standard-A receptacle on the other. The adapter cable enables any standard USB peripheral to be attached to an OTG device. In order to attach two OTG devices together requires either a cable with a Micro-B plug at one end and a Micro-A plug at the other or can be achieved using a combination of the PC cable and adapter cable."

Sorry for not trawling through the forum first - is ther a sticky topic somewhere that lists Android powered devices known to work or not work with standard USB audio to a standard USB DAC?

Also - how popular or who uses the HDMI out port to send audio to a device like a HDMI audio to coax,optical S/PDIF break-out box?

What are the chances of digital audio over HDMI ever taking over USB audio with Android based devices?

The list of devices is short.

 

On stock software only the S3, Note 2, Note 10.1 and Archos G9.

 

With custom software add the Nexus 7 and Nook Colour to the list.

Are you saying, no Galaxy S 1 or S 2, or Note 1? 

 

I thought the Note 1 and S 2 supported USB host mode.

Is this not the same as usb2go or not sufficient.

 

Even with Cyanogenmod? http://get.cm/ 

Wish we could get cyanogenmod interested in head-fi.

ah good to know! Looks like the only existing solution, can't wait till I receive mine, been carrying the clumsy two-cable setup now, bulge in my pocket;)

 

I hook my amp to my belt, so straight cable is perfect for me:D

Cyanogenmod is a very nice rom for regular use but a no go for USB audio so far, at least with the S3. You can use either the stock rom or a rom like the Omega which is based on the stock kernel and USB audio also works.

I listed the only ones that have it, if I didn't list it, it doesn't have it.

I've been looking for a solution like this for years. It really seems ideal. I get a multi-purpose device that I'd need to carry around with me anyway, that's mass manufactured, reliable, and moderately priced, and even comes with a camera and makes phone calls. I get an excellent large screen and full user interface. I can pull from the terabyte of music I have stored on my NAS, over LAN or 4G. That music is almost all CD bit rate regardless. I trust the computer and network to transport the digital bits. Then they hand it off in digital form to a proper audiophile DAC and amp and into my Spiral Ears CIEMs. Brilliant. Only thing I'd add is, they'll probably announce the Samsung Galaxy S 4 in 1Q13 to ship in 2Q13, and its rumored to have amazing specs. Assuming it continues to support USB out. (Meanwhile, Apple's technical advance is another new proprietary plug...) Only thing I'd wish for is cyanogenmod support. I mean I'm sure the DX100 is great but it runs 2.3 not 4.2 and it doesn't make phone calls or shoot pictures. OK I'd wish for a longer list of devices, including some "Android iPod Touches" that don't make phone calls. And I'd again wish for Google Nexus phones/tablets and Cyanogenmod to support the USB drivers.

 

EDIT: here is the link for the Samsung Galaxy S 4 http://www.neowin.net/news/samsung-to-demo-new-galaxy-s-iv-at-ces-2013 it better have usb 2 go guess we'll find out around January 8th...

Bold: new addition to the list

 

So far, like the quad-core Exynos powered Galaxy S III, the new quad-core Exynos powered Samsung Galaxy Note II can work with the FiiO E7, the iBasso D12, Leckerton UHA-6S MKII, the ODAC and the VentureCraft Go-Dap X; has some issue with the HeadAmp Pico; and doesn’t work with the FiiO E17.

 

So, in regard to standard USB audio, the behaviour of the Galaxy Note II is likely identical to the behaviour of the Galaxy S III.

The usb audio issue is now ranked 5th:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list?cursor=android%3A24614&sort=-stars

 

After nearly a year of waiting and 2 years since Cowon managed to enable SPDIF out of their Android D3 - still waiting for Google to follow through and make their Android devices compatible with (independently powered) USB DACs in the same way that a notebook/pc currently is...

Android kernel modders have already enabled the USB audio feature on 
. Google Nexus One smartphone
http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/#x11
. HTC Desire smartphone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1&postcount=46
. Nook Color tablet
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1459892
. Archos G9 tablet
http://update.archos.com/9/gen9/chan...id_gen9it4.htm
. Ainol Novo 7 tablet
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/2928...vers-and-libs/

 

DanBa, NZTestFreak, maybe we need people to test, but can we potentially add the Nexus One, the HTC Desire, and the Ainol Novo to the list. I have a Nexus One here... but need a cable and a DAC... maybe this Audio-gd Compass or Sparrow can act as DAC for testing.

The list of standard USB DACs reportedly interworking with the stock Galaxy S III / Note II is for the majority of people who don't want to hack their Android smartphones.

I will create a list of custom Android devices which can interwork with USB DAC.

I picked that article up too from Engadget. Actually looks rather interesting but concerned about on-going support with "one hit wonders".

We have to wait and see...but look how much thin this phone is!
