  I think kitkat 4.4.4 has support for usb audio out.  Not sure if for all apps though.  I did just try it on my phone with youtube and JDS labs dac and it worked just fine.
 
good luck.

thanks, that reassured me
gonna lurk aroud a week to cool my head before taking the plunge, but unless new information present itself, i think i'm 90% sure i'm gonna get the DACport

I've just bought UAPP and would like to shuffle play all the music in my NAS.
 
In Neutron, I just select the directory containing all the music sub-directories as a source. In UAPP, I can connect to my NAS OK, but am not sure how to select the directory as a source. It only seems to let me choose a single track and then it will shuffle files within that directory only.

The new Sony Xperia E3 doesn't work with my FIIO Andes (E07k). On GSM Arena says it has USB Host, USB OTG but on all others sites this wasn't mentioned.  I installed UAPP and it still doesn't work. There's a repeating ''tic, tic'' sound from left channel to right channel and UAPP says no USB device detected. On the official Sony support forum people say it should have those functions.. I contacted Sony care and they confirmed E3 has USB OTG/USB Host.

Hi I am from UK and have purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 4.  I have read through this thread which is great and this is my first experience with trying to purchase a budget DAC, so I'm a newbie if you want.
 
Based on the compatibility list on this thread for the Note 4 I decided to try out the Audioquest Dragonfly 1.2, I went to the shop to try it to make sure it works and unfortunately it didn't.  I tried USB Audio Player PRO and Neutron but no joy.  USB Audio Player PRO showed a message saying something like "No USB DAC attached".
 
What I did was plug the Dragonfly into the USB OTG cable then plugged that into the phone and tried it with music players mentioned above. However I did not at any point plugin any headphones into the dragonfly, not sure if that would have enabled it.  
 
I tested my USB OTG cable by plugging in a USB Pen drive which my phone happily picks up.  The Dragonfly also worked on a Computer.
 
I am wondering if I missed doing something or if someone can help.
 
 
My Samsung Galaxy Note 4 info - 
Model Number: SM-N910F
Android Version: 4.4.4
 
Earphones : Shure SE425

Ash

Try pluging the OTG cable first
Then plug the DAC/AMP on the OTG cable
Then HP on the DAC/AMP

In this order...

Thanks will make a visit to shop again and try that.

If you scroll back a few posts. Headfinoob published Note 4's usb current output to 600mah. Don't know if it's relevant.

Maybe you need a external battery pack to power.

I have a Note 3 (900mah). It powers my 1w Geek Out natively.

Should be any day now for nexus7

Thanks m-i-c-k-e-y, your reply on the USB power output was very timely as I was about to order the DragonFly, what I will do instead is get a USB power output reader see what the output is of my particular Note 4 and then take it from there.
 
Another question is if the Note 4 is not outputting enough power to drive the dragonFly  then would an option be to buy a Fiio E07K as it has its own battery I believe.  Not sure if that would work still as I dont know if it still needs the usb power from the phone to work..  Reading reviews on-line I did want the DragonFly but will go for an option that will work.

Ash

Fiio E07K, E17 and E18 are good bets for Android compatibility

See DanBa's post above

 

[wavid]

So only the Dragonfly v1.2 works ? or does the v1.0 work too? I cant find the answer, although i did see something about v1.1 or higher in one of the links.
I want to use my Moto G with the Dragonfly v1.0

So is the iFi iDSD nano.
