Any have luck on LG V20 on a USB DAC. Was not able to connect my LH Geek Out on it. On Samsung Note 3 it was solid.
First time post for me here.
I have an LG G5 that I was able to use for a short period of time alongside a Meridian Explorer 2 DAC using an AIVN USB 3.1 Type C Male to USB 3.0 Type A Female OTG Host Cable Adapter Converter. The connection was very unpredictable. The Cable itself will Quick Charge the Phone with no problems but trying to get it to work with the DAC was a pain. When the cable is inserted, the G5 will Recognize that a USB Device is inserted. Choosing the options to Charge the Device, MTP, MIDI, PTP will not make any difference. The phone is not rooted and Dev Mode is enabled.
I also installed USB Audio Player but again this did not fix the issue.
The Phone and DAC will work together I can't but I can't count on it working when I want it to. Sometimes switching between the USB Options mentioned above will allow for the DAC to work, but I could not repeat a specific sequence to get it to work again. Sometimes simply hooking up the adapter to the phone will power on the DAC, but it won't happen the during the next attempt. I've also attempted to get a good charge on the phone itself to see if this may facilitate the problem, but again, it's an unpredictable connection.
When the Explorer 2 is attached to the G5 it works great, a and I can use Spotify, Tidal, BubblePNP to play music.
Since I'm seeing a high success rate with Samsung Devices, I will say that the DAC connected with my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 with no problems whatsoever.
As for as LG Devices go, the DAC connected to my Nexus 5 with no problems, using the same USB OTG Cable I used with the Galaxy Tab S.
Since I know that it is possible to get this DAC to work with the G5, I'm going to research other OTG Cables to see if I can find some consistency regarding the communication between the DAC and Phone.
