You can add the Audio-gd NFB-12 (with TE7022 USB module only) working very well with the Note 3

This is the cable I got.  I wonder why so many of the otg cables have the full size usb female end. If I used that I would still need to get a short standard usb to mini usb cable to connect it to the amp/dac.

That hugo is so badass, but that's out of my audio budget.  I hope the predator is good enough for me.  I have other money wasting hobbies like going to the track with my car and stuff like tires and other go fast goodies cost so much.

Advantages of using otg cable with the full size usb female end (a.k.a. USB OTG adapter cable):
 
Android smartphone > digital USB audio out >> USB OTG adapter cable + regular USB cable usually provided by the USB DAC maker >> USB DAC >> amp >> headphones
 
. less EMI: with a rather long cable (i.e. USB OTG adapter + regular USB cable usually provided by the USB DAC maker) instead of a short cable, the USB DAC can be installed rather far away from the smartphone, a source of electromagnetic interferences (EMI), so that the USB DAC can be less affected by EMI
 
. more convenient with a rather long cable to use a smartphone than a stack of smartphone+USB DAC+amp when listening music and reading ebook for example
 
. easier for testing smartphone - USB DAC interworking (cf. FAQ)
http://www.head-fi.org/t/595071/android-phones-and-usb-dacs/4335#post_10354848
 
. other usage: connect USB peripherals like USB hub, USB hard drive, USB mouse or USB keyboard.

We all know know by now that UAPP unleashes DAC support and hires playback over USB on many Android devices with support for many DACs, incl Cambridge DACMagic XS, Audioquest Firefly, iFI iDSD Nano and many more. But I cant call it a real music playing solution for me if it can only play 1 song at a time or stream songs and full albums from a network through DLNA. If that ever happens I'll be glad to pay the 6.99 Euro that I have to pay now for the full version.
 
As it stands now UAPP is nice for demoing and nothing else. 
 
Just my 2 cents.

Wow
 
Like many users that already paid for the full version, I've been demoing UAPP to myself hour after hour and day after day for several months and I seem not to get tired of it. Not bad for a demo.

What do you mean it can only play one song at a time?how many songs do want playing at the same time,it carries playlist support and can shuffle songs or albums, it has turned my cheap android phone into a wonderful sounding music player with 64gig of flac some of which are hires ,not bad for£6.00 and for the record it can play some of the tracks that my mac using audirvana cannot.

I too find UAPP very lacking in features. If that is the only app that works for your phone, then you are stuck. But there are android smartphones that do not need the UAPP and can output audio via USB natively such as HTC One X, HTC One (both 4.2.2 & 4.4.2 stock ROMs) and LG G2 (4.2.2 stock). I heard the new Samsung galaxies are also capable, hence you can pretty much use any music app you have/need. This is the reason why I 'downgraded' my LG G2 to 4.2.2 from 4.4.2 because the USB audio out no longer works with Kitkat (only LG G2) without using UAPP/UARP.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 here. I can use anything I want to play anything I want, no problem. I use Neutron. It's better.

I use Neutron too on my LG G2 & HTC One X and sometimes the stock music players.

dikkiedirk is referring to the lack of network support within UAPP.
 
It would be lovely for those of us who have phones with limited on board storage. Or who would simply like to carry TB's of lossless music about (streamed via wi-fi from a external hard drive using a RavPower FileHub or similar). Only solution (as yet untested) that I can see to this issue with UAPP (at present) would be to rip music (or merge existing tracks) to a single album length file...
 
Fine for those of us that haven't yet starting ripping a vast library of CD's to lossless (uh, as in myself), were there the time allowed to do so.
 
Do I recall somebody saying that Neutron (or another player) supports streaming albums/playlists over a network/Wi-Fi ? Don't much matter to me if it doesn't support hi-res, plain old 44.1/16 will do the job.
