I thought I would post a summary of my experiences of using a Galaxy Note 4 and Dragonfly v1.2 with a few questions:
My music library is 16bit or 24bit FLAC, I use a Lindy right angled OTG cable and run Android 4.4.4
When I Initially first used the dragonfly all my music would play at a very slow speed, like a 45rpm record playing at 33rpm making everything unlistenable. However this issue corrected itself with no intervention from myself and has not returned. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this problem and why it sorted itself?
App comparability:
-Native music player app works, however it is always outputting 24bit 96khz so some up sampling is happening here with 16bit files. The volume output is relatively low so there is no control of the hardware volume control in the dragonfly.
-Neutron app works the same as the native music player app and has the same sample rate and volume issues.
-Deezer and Amazon music apps play but the music is unlistenable and distorted. Again the dragonfly is showing 24bit 96khz output so I assume this is some sort of sample rate issue.
I would expect Spotify and other apps to have the same playback problems, but i'm still testing this. Has anybody had any joy getting these apps to play properly?
-USB audio player pro works perfectly, adjusting the sample rate of the dragonfly depending on the source file, and controlling the hardware volume control giving full volume control. The only issue I have with this App is that the physical volume buttons on the phone do nothing to adjust the volume. Is there a setting than can fix this?
Hopefully this information is of use for people considering this hardware combination and somebody can shed some light on the problems I've not managed to get round.
