if you want shorter you may want to go to a short adapter + otg cable route.

Shortest possible adapter.

You folks are great, thanks a bunch....However, I just bought one from JDS Labs https://www.jdslabs.com/products/86/micro-to-mini-usb-otg-cable/ BTW its a shorty, just what I wanted....
 
Also there is some great info there on How to Connect Android, iPad, or iPhone to a DAC which should help others if they are in the same predicament

Now onto the next cable I need, which is a USB A to a USB Mini B to connect laptop to Intruder. I read the flat ones are better than the round one's....Your thoughts on that, I know cables is a very controversial subject

Well, enjoy then!

I haven't read all almost 9,000 posts in this thread so excuse me if I missed the answer to this. Is USB audio out on the newer marshmallow and nougat phones just plug and play? If I get an S8 (when it's out) and an OPPO HA2SE it should all just work? And I guess by "work" I mean just plug it all in, start any app and the audio will go through USB? Any music app like Spotify or tidal, and so on?

Has anyone connected an Android to a Schiit Modi? I thought a standard micro USB to USB B cable would work, but Schiit's website mentions that a powered USB hub is needed.
 
Any suggestions?

@jasonb

Android USB Audio IS STILL a hit a miss. Your DAC MAY work without having special Apps w/ propriety USB drivers (ie. UAPP,Hiby, Neutron etc.). But IME using Sammy phones my self, most of them are plug and play, BUT limited to 24/192 when using USB DAC thru "normal" music players.

Haven't still seen one playing DSD/DXD still w/o UAPP/Neutron or the likes.

@shuto77- The Modi can work with Android [notwithstanding the fact that not every DAC works with every Android device]. You will need a USB OTG cable that ends with a standard 'female' USB socket, you then plug an externally powered USB into that and the Modi into the hub. The Modi draws too much power so needs to be powered.
 
I had it working with a Samsung Galaxy S5 and Moto G (3rd Gen).

Oh, shoot. So you're saying I need a hub even though the Modi is AC-powered? I thought that was more of an issue with portable DACs that draw too much device from the phone/tablet.
 
I bought a USB to USB B cable and an OTG micro usb adapter. I was hoping those cables would do the job - I used to just plug my phone into my Sound Blaster X7's USB input, and it worked great, and even charged it. I was hoping the Modi would be equally simple.

shuto77 - the standard Modi is USB only, the Modi Uber has AC (sounds like you have that one), I only tried with standard USB version so Uber may work without a powered hub. Won't hurt to give it a go without the hub and see what happens. Don't forget to get high-res you'll need UAPP or something that will send a signal direct to the DAC.

Yup, I have UAPP.

Yes, I have the Modi Multibit, and it's a-powered. I'll report my findings when it arrives Monday. I have a whole side table dedicated to my gear, so it won't be the end of the world if I have to get a hub. Thank goodness for same-day delivery from Amazon

 

[m-i-c-k-e-y]

Don't forget to enable the bitperfect option in UAPP.
