Again, I'm going to come at my fellow Head-Fiers straight out of left field
Understandable that folk are continuing to ask how the Jnr compares to players X. Y and Z for sound quality and its ability to drive certain 'phones, particularly given the lack of any optical output for use with another DAC or DAC/amp combination. My question is simple -
does the Jnr or any of the AK range support USB OTG ? I
The reason I've chosen a phone hooked to Geek Out v1 is that the hype around
GO v2 is completely off the charts, particularly for a $225 device (pre-orfer price) that hasnt even shipped yet from a company notorious for keeping customers waiting for their toys. If you havent followed any of purrin's rambling thread, this wont mean much:

If you have, its the equivalent of someone who refuses to own
anything with a Chevrolet badge on it telling the world he thinks the new '
Vette Camaro is 'impressive'. If he was just pulling people's chains, fine, but others seem to have been blown away by it even if they admit expectations have to be managed when you're talking about a USB-stick DAC/amp : overall the consensus seems to be that LHLabs have pulled one out of the hat with this thing. USB OTG would put this - and other affordable portable gizmos - at the fingertips of those who crave better SQ and (potentially) more power : just putting it out there.
Again, if your endgame is focussed on the form factor, this will be a massive fail - if not it may be of some consequence. If the OTG question has been answered previously, my Google-fu needs sharpening - apologies in advance.
