Awesome updates DanBa!!! Thank you as always!!

Also, I am finishing up my thoughts on the Apex Glacier vs Meier Audio PCSTEP now, and should have them posted here later tonight per Jan's request.

Thanks!!!

EDIT: as my eyes are getting blurry and I'm beset by ever-more-insistent yawning, I'm calling it quits for tonight and finishing up tomorrow.

Anybody know of any other micro usb to micro usb otg cables besides this one?  http://hakshop.myshopify.com/products/micro-to-micro-otg
 
I am trying to connect an S3 to a Leckerton UHA-6s MKII while staying as low profile as possible.
 
Thanks.

Its a bit of a problem regarding the hardware with android, there's a shedload of ARM based SoC coming from China and Im not sure the USB part of the SoC of the chips is fully compliant with the usb standard.

So far, like the quad-core Exynos powered Galaxy S III, the new quad-core Exynos powered Samsung Galaxy Note II can work with the FiiO E7, the iBasso D12, Leckerton UHA-6S MKII, the ODAC, … ; had some issue with the HeadAmp Pico (bug fixed by HeadAmp); and doesn’t work with the FiiO E17 using the stock USB audio driver.
 
So, in regard to the USB protocol, the behaviour of the Galaxy Note II is likely identical to the behaviour of the Galaxy S III.
