I tried the same cable with my Dell XPS laptop and it worked as expected w/o charging (via USB C OTG adapter). I tried the USB mini to C adapter that came with my S8 and had no luck. I am able to use the USB A adapter that came with my S8 and it does connect and play music via the Oppo HA-2...

Mine no longer works. I haven't tried it with my phone in numerous months, either, but it does continue to work with my laptop. I also haven't tried the original adapter that charges it, yet. The OTG cable I bought no longer works with my S8 for some reason.

This is resolved now through identification of appropriate cables. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B018G6IK7E I use this and it works properly, and has been for months. It is NOT charging the device. Sound routes through the Oppo HA-2 DAC. Please note I have the older version of the DAC...

Baird Gow - you may want to update the title a bit to reflect the actual problem - the samsung supplied adapter is not OTG compatible. this is a knock on Samsung and not on Oppo. From Oppo: It is designed for data transfer, not OTG, ... We have seen this with a lot of adapters and cables...

Woohoo! https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B018G6IK7E Received the unit today and it works! It is NOT charging the device. Sound routes through the Oppo HA-2 DAC. I believe the important factor is that the adapter specs say OTG. this aligns the pins appropriately. I assume the micro-USB...

I bought this one at my local grocery store (Fred Meyer): https://byjasco.com/products/ge-usb-c-micro-b-charge-cable-33-ft the audio worked, but power was being drawn. It’s getting returned. I just ordered this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018G6IK7E I assume because it calls it out as...

I bought a $10 USD adapter at my local superstore that is a USB-C to Micro-B adapter sync/charge cable and it works just like my workaround mentioned above - it charges the DAC from my s8 phone, so still not a good alternative.

has anybody tried an adapter that did not come with their new Galaxy phone with the Oppo HA-2 series of devices?   if I just need another adapter because the one that came with my new phone is only for hooking up directly to another phone to transfer data, i can live with the $10 it costs me...

I'm no sound pro but my old LG G3 sounded better than my new Samsung S8.  The S8 just can't seem to push over ear headphones.  I don't have nice in-ear monitors to test with, but the ones that came with it can't compare to my cheap roknation skullcandy aviators.  Perhaps somebody with decent...

on mine, the device itself has a small Qualcomm sticker on the top bezel.  of course you need to unbox it first.  I see no labels otherwise, but my model is SM-G950U if somebody else has an alternate label to compare.

I got the S8 and have an older HA-2 (not the SE).  I cannot get my HA-2 to work via the USB OTG cable either, and I've logged a support ticket with Oppo on the matter.   Until that is resolved, I have gotten mine to work via the S8's standard USB adapter.  The only problem with this is it...
