If your phone support OTG and using the an OTG cable, the setup should be plug and play. Sequence is not an issue, trust me on that.


So what phone are you using ?

Should be just plug and play and your phone should have OTG support.

I observed that when the battery is low it switches on and off.  Though mine's a C5D and I am on Desktop.  It doesn't happen when I use it while charging it simultaneously.

Just tried it mines acting up.  Basically turned on the unit and toggled the switch to CHRG and connected to phone.  It just charges for a second and then disconnects.  LEDs go bonkers when I connect them too.

Solved the intermediate pausing problem? So the time out setting of the phone is causing that? By the way, there is a "Restrict apps in background" setting under the Battery Saver option of Battery menu, Try if you can achieve uninterrupted playback by disable the restriction.

Glad to know the setup final can work out. Hope you like the sound of the system since you have spend quite a lot of effort to debug the setup.

The C5 is more powerful then the C5DAC, if you are using hard-to-drive headphones, the C5 probably will obvious advantage.

The C5 DAC is slightly more transparent, the C5 sound signature is on the warm side.
