Actually, the Glacier is the newer version that TTVJ sells. I haven't checked the compatibility with GN2 though.

yeah I kinda thought it that was the case, I will have a look into it , I like the shape and size enough I think

Just wanted to let everyone know that the headstage lyrix pro usb total works perfectly with note 2. couldn't be happier.

Got a leather case with belt-loop and I'm good to go. huge phone, bulky amp with humongous DT770 premiums, hope I don't get too many weird looks

Yep, annoying, so far the only short length host cable we've found that has two males ends terminates in micro USB at the non-host end (so useful for the Glacier and Leckerton models, but most use mini USB). I think it is Lindy.co.uk who do make one that should work, but they only do it in a half metre length (I confirmed that with them via email). I'm in contact with a cable maker here trying to see if they can provide us all with the cabling we need

I think at this stage nobody has actually confirmed the Hakshop cable definitely works with the USB DACs that take a micro USB input, I have the cable, but won't get my Leckterton until next week to confirm it is working. My RSA Intruder and HeadAmp Pico both take mini USB cables.

Solution: Male Mini USB To Female Micro USB Adapter

Or if you want a short cable version:
Motorola micro USB Female to mini USB Male Adapter Converter
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-micro-Female-Adapter-Converter/dp/B004BBJNHK

Using a Male Mini USB To Female Micro USB Adapter with a short mini USB cable is likely the best option for most users.

I'm well aware of those, I do not consider them as good a solution as a single cable.

A list of standard USB DAC reportedly interworking with the Android-powered smartphone Samsung Galaxy Note II:

stock Galaxy Note II > digital USB audio out >> USB OTG cable (micro-A plug inserted in the Note II) >> standard USB DAC >> amp >> headphones

.. many many MANY links...

Thanks!
Have a nice week-end

Currently, USB audio does not work using the FiiO E17 with the Meizu MX 4-core.

Meizu MX >> micro USB OTG male to USB female >> USB male to mini USB male >> FiiO E17:

Two quick notes.

First, despite being a USB OTG device, the Meizu MX apparently cannot power a USB device on its own (including USB flash drives): USB peripherals must be plugged into a powered USB hub. The phone does not recognize a USB keyboard into the OTG adapter. I'll have to buy a powered USB hub to test more.

Second, I do not yet have the cables needed for SPDIF connection to a DAC. Gotta wait a paycheck or two before that happens.

I am also looking for a one cable solution, does this one look right? (my DAC takes mini-USB)

The description does not mention OTG support.

skfktkwjs · Nov 11, 2012 at 12:30 AM

does anyone tried SGS3 + AudioQeust Dragonefly? if it works, it would make onne of the actual portable system.

wormsdriver · Nov 11, 2012 at 12:38 AM

I went by an AT&T store today to try out SIII and Galaxy Note 2 with my RSA Predator and CEntrance Dacport.... the Predator worked on both right away, the Dacport did not work on either one

Just wanted to report that I tested my Audio GD Sparrow Version A also based on Tenor 7022 and it is a no go on my i9300 running Samsung's latest stock Jelly Bean with Siyah Kernel.

http://www.audio-gd.com/Pro/Headphoneamp/Sparrow/SparrowEN.htm

I suppose I am out of luck for the time being? Pretty dissapointed, I was really looking forward to testing the Sparrow + HD650 and the i9300. :frowning2:
