Ibasso d zero mk2 is android compatible so that work as a choice , your best choice would be getting a unified dac and amp unit anyway for portability

The volume keys of the phone are not the volume keys of the internal amp of the phone.
 
The so-called volume keys of the phone are handled by software.
They can be used to take a photo.

For (digitally analog or digitally digital) volume control purposes, the volume keys of the phone can be manipulated (or not) by the Android system software, or by the music player software, or by a combination of Android system software & music player software.

In short, yes!

Thx !

I have a bit of a dilemma and I'm hoping someone can give advice.

Up until now I've been using an UD110 + C&C BH + RockIt R50 on my nexus 5.
Gotta say the UD110, although better than the built-in DAC, hasn't been all that impressive from a sound quality perspective; it is now broken (3,5mm socket came off) and I'm looking into a replacement.

Here's what I've nailed it down to:

Keep the C&C BH and get
1) a UD120
2) an HiFimeDIY Sabre U2 Async
3) some other DAC

or get rid of the BH and get
4) an audioquest dragonfly 1.2
5) a Geek Out 450
6) an HRT microStreamer
7) a Teac HA-P50

What do you suggest?

If the Geek Out works with your N5, I'd go with that and call it a day.

ooh I'm now enjoying music a lot
 
new Samsung Tab S 10.5 with 64gb Micro SD
E17
Spotify 
and my JVC HA-S400s (these suprise me every day)
 
and it sounds superb The E17 works perfectly with my Tab S 10.5, Note 3, Nexus 5 (I tried a friend's at work), and PC

Not sure if anyone has heard about the new USB dac/amp from Schiit. The all new Fulla. And it's only $80 bucks. Says that it works via OTG with android devices. http://schiit.com/products

Finally received the OTA update to Lollipop 5.01 on my stock 2013 Wifi Nexus 7, hoping that USB audio support was in place for the iFi Nano iDSD..... Not!!! 

Can't find anything to switch this functionality on or off, any suggestions?

Thanks for your reply. I did manage to get sound via the Nano, just need to make sure the Nano is turned on before you attach it to the Nexus.
Now trying different players to see if there is one which does high-res via the Nano. Used Synology DS player and Onkyo HF player (unstable) but all seem to downsample to 44.1Hz according to the green light on the Nano.

I have a Nexus 4 running Android 5.0 and I tried a Fiio E18 but it doesn't work. I get no connection. Any ideas?

Usb Audio Player Pro (UAPP) will do, so will HiBy.

N4 doesn't support USB OTG despite having android 5.0.

Hey guys and Gals,
 
I am new to all this Audiophile stuff so forgivemen if I am remiss in asking this question here.
 
I own the LG G2 and may be upgrading in the next few months to either HTC M8 or LG G3, or newer models if anything happens at CES in Jan.
 
That being said I currently own HD280s MD50X and am looking at buying either HD598 or DT880 and possibly an IEM
 
I am very interested in buying either an integrated DAC/AMP or two seperate DAC and AMP to run OTG compatible from my phone. I have no problem flashing my phone, if needed, and really want high quality audio transfer with limited noise, but am only looking to spend $250-$300 on the DAC/AMP. It would be great if the DAC had a pre-out I could then run to my desktop AMP as well!
 
Anyone have a suggestion as to what is quality, affordable and compatible?
 
Thanks!

  Usb Audio Player Pro (UAPP) will do, so will HiBy.

UAPP works for sure, even without Lollipop, but the idea is to use the USB Audio option introduced with Lollipop together with an alternative Hi-Res capable player.
Tried HiBy (Still on 4.4.4) but it only played one song and that was it. According to the Play store HiBy is not suitable for the Nexus 7.
