I'm afraid that if the s3 works as the note 2 you have to buy the uapp: maybe the cable is fine, it's just the wrong player. I've bought from Amazon 2 different otg cables, one cheap from China, broken at the arrival, changed by the seller with another that lasted a week, then another one branded startech, still using it everyday.

Would you still have that link to the star tech cable so I'm sure I'm getting what has worked for you?

I was poking fun, didn't you notice the smiley? 

 As much as you might want to, I'm sure that you're not going to buy every DAC in sight.

  With the Drragonfly, volume is set in the analogue domain of the DAC/amplifier on the base of control information sent over the USB protocol; there would be no benefit to send 24bit bandwidth for 16/44.1 flacs saved from ripped CDs.

 The DragonFly's onboard 64-position analog-domain volume is a good feature : how are you sure that the OS or the player (in the case of UAPP) correctly uses the USB audio class 1 protocole ? Are you sure that the analog volume control is initiated and it is not a division in the PCM audio stream ?

Did you quote wikipedia?

 
My bad.

  ive been out of the loop for a while.
 
but i got a dragonfly dac v1.2 and i want to use it with my galaxy s3(using neutron or whatever other music player). i do have an otg cable but as far as i can tell, it is not the id pin grounded version.
 
my question is, where can i get the otg id pin grounded cable? i would prefer getting it from amazon (more flexible shipment address deliver options).
tia.

I had no problem with your question with smiley or not smiley.

Hmmm... in French we way: on ne peut être sûr de rien - you cannot be sure of anything. Also technological miracles must be questionned.
 
I am just repeating what I read about volume control.
 
Now, I also observe that the volume of applications other than UAPP are automatically set to the max when the DF is connected, so I suppose that volume is managed by a two way transfer like the control transfer and not the one way isochronous transfer used by audio data. With UAPP, I must use the volume slider of the application; since the system volume (the rocking switch on the side of my S5) is disabled, I suppose that the slider controls actually the system volume.
 
Yet this is only a guess. Informations are welcome...!

Anyone did a comparison between sabre from hifmediy and stoner acoustics? I bought the sabre for android from hifmediy but is only 16bits, really changed the quality sound if my smartphone, so i want to go to next level, the 24bits dac... Which is better and works on android with uapp?

thanks for this. so based on your post, i should pick the adapter from here:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B4GGW5Q/ref=cm_sw_su_dp?tag=headfiorg-20
 
or am i reading it wrong that both startech 5inch and adapter would work?

I guess they have to be grounded to be considered OTG, not really into this things, I simply put them on, they work, voila'.
I've got the 5 inch thingy only because at the time the shorter adapter wasn't available, I've just placed the order for the adapter, it should arrive soon and hopefully give to my portable set up a better look.

Hello guys, can you recommend some powered usb hub that could work with a dac on android? To charge my smartphone and at th same time use the dac?

 
A setup using a non-compliant USB hub, that can power the USB host (i.e. Galaxy S4) via the upstream port:

Galaxy S4 >> 64.9kOhm USB OTG/ACA cable (i.e. "dock cable") >> powered USB hub >> simple USB sound card (i.e. DAC) >> Grundig WKC 1704 car audio >> speakers

i see your using aux. is there a way to use the usb port instead? i seem to get much better sound using the usb (with a usb drive) than aux
