I believe I pointed out why it is hard to believe?
Its entirely possible that a new implementation altered this unintended feature. Your assumption of the s5 being the odd one out only works if subsequent phones also worked with the 256gb. You don't seem to have tested this with subsequent phones. In a world of everchanging systems the past is irrelevant to how new systems behave where untested features are concerned. Also fun fact. Only the snapdragon variant of the note 4 works with 512.
Previous systems working does not mean new ones will. Your arguments do not support your conclusion. The functionality ofold phones DOES NOT factor into the equation. There is no reason for you to have reached this conclusion aside from vast oversimplification of how these devices work
I have searched the thread.
This question appears to have been answered a few times back in 2013 (long time ago). At our current date now did the Samsung Galaxy S2 ever end up working with DACs on later Android updates and the help of USB Audio Player Pro?

I just ordered a used Samsung Galaxy s4 to serve as my Android transport.
1) What do I need to do with the phone when I get it?
2) How do I get the newest firmware if I'm not registering the phone with a mobile carrier?
1) Insert the micro sd card with your files then boot it up without sim card, go through the setup steps with Android then that's it. Once you connect your OTG cable the phone will show a notification then connect your DAC. You may want to install some of the apps we use such as UAPP, Hiby to play with and anything else you want to use. In most cases the Samsung Galaxy S4 will detect the DAC natively and you can use the stock music player or any other music app you wish.
2) in Australia we don't need to have the phone registered with a carrier or sim card inserted for Android updates. The Android OS will detect this automatically over Wifi and ask if you want to update.

With firmware 4.4.2 works perfect but whith 5.01 doesn't work, You must disable Automatic Updates in the config menu.
If the phone have 5,0 preinstaled you can downgrade to a firmware downloaded for example in www.sammobile,com.
The Galaxy S4 I had previously was running 5.0.1 and worked with basically every external dac I tried natively.
See this post here were I discovered it.

Not sure why some might not?
I've tried two updates of 5.01 but doesn't work with the Teac hap50. I'ts no easy to downgrade to 4.4.2. My model is LTE GT-9005
