I think that is incorrect. I think it is dependent on your phone. basically your phone needs to support USB-OTG digital audio out.
I can use spotify on my samsung galaxy s5 with any dac via the right cable, it works perfectly fine.
Not just USB-OTG for audio, but whether it will support async mode or not, since UD120 will be running on async mode. If the built-in driver doesn't support async mode, there there won't make a sound (or it will, but with a lot of distortion).
