By the way, what is your Android device?
As the Samsung Galaxy S III can interwork with USB DAC like ODAC or Topping TP30, I think there is no audio switching issue with the S III.
Bad news!
The USB DAC recommended by Google is a new type of device. It is not compatible with PC or Mac.
A legacy USB DAC compatible with PC / Mac acts as a USB device, and a PC / Mac acts as a USB host.
A USB DAC recommended by Google acts as a USB host, and a Android smartphone / tablet acts as a USB device.

I have a Galaxy Nexus running Jelly Bean right here on my desk and a Nexus 7 incoming. I should go sign up for that beta program...
no, you should sit there and stare at it... sarcasm , but in all seriousness, do sign up and let us know
Anyone seen this?

Kind of looks like a cheap toy and the screen sucks, but it comes with a full sized USB port, microSD card in addition to the stand mini-usb charging port. If you could hack this thing to host something like the ODAC, it could be quite a nice little media station.
Plus, it's dirt cheap.
Wow, I saw $99, Android 4.0.3, 2 USB ports (1X full and 1X micro), 1GB RAM and 16GB storage.
Does Android 4.0.3 support USB digital output as stock? Edit: Looks like it does not. Android 4.1 released on Jun 27, 2012 should do that.
I thought about this: Music on 500GB hard drive -> Tablet USB port #1 as USB host -> Tablet USB port #2 for digital output -> USB dac/amp -> Headphones. Fiio E10 would not work, right? I may then use either ODAC or Fiio E7.
