I hope not. Otherwise it would be hard to rationalize buying the Passport for $200.
In case anyone was wondering if the PanAm works with Android devices, I can confirm that it works with the Sony Tablet Z and Z phone at least. Sorry for the bad quality photo. This is straight from USB OTG>Pan Am USB Cable>Pan Am USB Input>LCD 2.2. The Walkman app plays FLAC files direct but I'm sure there will be other apps that can play FLAC.
I can't get it to work as a usb dac with my Galaxy Note II. Any suggestions?
Yup on both counts. I saw in the USB android DACs thread that the Pan Am would function with the SIII with USB debugging on, but in my case, the DAC seems to be detected but no sound is produced and the track plays at a faster speed. I thought it should work since I thought that whatever worked on an SIII would work with the Note II. Maybe your SIII is using a different SOC and that's the cause of the difference? Is your SIII the Snapdragon variant? My Note II uses the Exynos.
As an aside, Twinster, what kind of battery life are you getting from your Anker Astro Pro with the Pan Am? I was thinking getting the Astro Pro2 since it costs roughly half what the passport costs? Also, any comments on the sound quality?
Thanks Twinster. Tried UARP and it works. Too bad space is at too much of a premium for me to load my phone with hi-res files. Fortunately, I bought the Pan Am more as a transportable amp than as a DAC so it's not too disappointing. The Pan Am used as just an amp is certainly very far from disappointing.
