I guess I'll add another enthusiastic endorsement for the Arya + iFi Burr Brown combo. In my case, it's Arya SE and Micro iDSD Signature - sometimes with EQ via Roon, occasionally with XBass enabled, but mostly standard tuning. My plan was to get the Arya and Focal Clear to go with my HD-650 and...

This surprised me because the volume only starts to become audible at about 9:00 in my experience - with power on being at about 8:00. I too have the nano BL paired to HD 650s, and volume is still pretty low at 10:00. I'm not a super-loud listener, but I usually settle in at about 1:00 or so. I...

  I can confirm that the "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter" works exactly the same my iPad Air/E07K as the Camera Connection Kit did with my iPad 3/E07K. I expect the E18 would also work. It also keeps a better connection. You can just plug it in and forget it, as opposed to the looser 30 pin...

Many of us were not able to get the E07k to work with a US carrier GS3. I'd be interested to hear if anyone who was unsuccessful with the E07k/GS3 pairing is able to use the E18. While I agree that the issue is more on the OTG side, we were lead to believe that Android compatibility would be...

It does work with at least some of the 30 pin connection Apple devices. My 3rd gen iPad works perfectly with the E07K via USB when connected with the camera connection kit adapter. Seems to be a different story with the new lightning connectors though.

  What is your country and carrier? I can't speak for the Note, but the E07K doesn't work for most US S3 models and carriers. I've tried two different OTG cables, all of the DAC's settings (including USB charge), and every combination of plug-in order. For most of us, it produces no sound and...

I updated my US ATT&T Galaxy S3 to 4.1.2 and the E07k still doesn't work for me when connected via USB OTG. I will try a few more things today, but it doesn't look good.

I'd still like to know if anyone on US carriers like AT&T or Verizon has gotten the E07k to work with the GS3 or Note 2. As stated much earlier in this thread, It worked for me exactly one time (played Spotify music for about 1/2 hour), but was never able to get it to play music before or after...

Quote:   There are only two reasons why it would sound different if you are using the digital USB output on both: 1) different source material or 2) different transport behavior.    For #1 (source material): are you listening to the exact same tracks with the same encoding on the same...

Quote:   Yes, that is normal. Just turn the iPad volume all the way up so that only one device is attenuating the volume. The sound quality *should* be the same on an iPad, Android phone, PC, etc. since they are just transporting bits of data. That's actually how I discovered that my PC...

Quote:   Mine is an unrooted Galaxy S3 from AT&T. Could this be a new limitation of Jelly Bean?

Quote:   Rebooted, and did the steps above. Same thing... "operation not permitted".

Quote:   When I enter   dmesg > /sdcard/f   as a command line, it responds with "operation not permitted". My phone is not rooted, if that makes a difference. I am new to Android, so forgive me if I missed an obvious step.

Quote:   A few patterns seem to be emerging in the E07K thread. Two people have gotten it to work on a Galaxy S3... one from Canada and one from Asia. All US-based users that have tried it on the GS3 and Note 2 are reporting the same thing I did: when trying to listen to music from any...

Quote:   US Galaxy S3 on AT&T running Jelly Bean. Same behavior before and after a factory reset. I got it to work by plugging in the OTG cable first, then the DAC, then rebooting. However, I tried the same steps a bunch of times since then with no luck. As I mentioned earlier, I...

All of the above describe the behavior that I reported earlier with my Galaxy S3... muted audio, track time counts up quickly. Oddly enough, I got it to work ONE time for about a half hour with Spotify. It hiccuped a few times with some digital skipping (ie. playing too fast for just a few...

Quote:   Not yet. I wasn't interested in Audio Recorder Pro as a solution because it wouldn't support app playback. I do 90% of my mobile music listening via Spotify and music podcasts on DoggCatcher. I may give it a try for testing purposes though.

Quote:   It might be premature to say that these are compatible. I've seen multiple reports of the E07K not working with these handsets here, in the E07K thread, and on Amazon. I know that I made a purchase decision based on this list showing compatibility with the GS3, but have not had...

It definitely works for me (iPad 3rd gen -> CCK -> E07K -> headphones). Listening to Spotify through the Andes as I type this on the iPad. You may have to disable USB charging from the dac's menu though. With charging enabled, I got an "accessory not supported" message saying that it draws too...

Quote:   Yes, the OTG cable works, and the GS3 CAN recognize the E07K. I know this because I ran an app called USBAudioTester which identified it as Fiio USB DAC-E07K. When I select that as my device, I can run a test called "int Mic to ext Speaker". This test takes any sounds picked up...

I'm trying to get a new Fiio E07K to work with my Galaxy S3, but can't get it to work using via USB/OTG cable except for one brief time yesterday where Spotify was playing just fine for about a half hour, but when I tried later that night, it was no good. Here's what I can tell you:   -...

Looks like I spoke too soon. When I tried it again after charging my phone, I can't get it to work via USB again (even after reboots and plugging in the OTG first). When I try to play a song using the music player, no sound comes though and the seconds count up much faster than they should...

Quote:   I did get it to work... thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I guess I was connecting the dac to the OTG first, then to the phone. Order was definitely tricky, and the phone seemed to get confused when I tired different connections. Got to the point where nothing would...

Unless I'm doing something wrong, I can't get my E07K to work via USB with my Galaxy S3 (AT&T, recently upgraded to Jelly Bean). It works with the aux connection on my GS3 and iPad, and works with USB from my computer. However, when I connect the Fiio to the GS3 using a USB OTG cable, it doesn't...
