Can you confirm whether the Samsung S4 works with the non-Tiny version?

I've tested UAE Tiny with the following devices:
Samsung Galaxy S2 (JB 4.1.2) : Doesn't work with default audio player, only through USB Audio Recorder app
Samsung Galaxy S3 (Didn't take note android version) : Works with default audio player
Samsung Galaxy S4 (JB 4.2.2) : Works with default audio player
LG Optimus G Pro (JB 4.1.2) : Works with default audio player
Ainol Novo7 Fire / Flame (JB 4.2.2 Cyanogenmod CM10.1) : Doesn't work with default audio player, only through USB Audio Recorder app
 
While for the bigger brother, UAE23, I tested with the following devices:
Samsung Galaxy S2 (JB 4.1.2) : Not compatible
Ainol Novo7 Fire / Flame (JB 4.2.2 Cyanogenmod CM10.1) : Not compatible
LG Optimus G Pro (JB 4.1.2) : Works with default audio player

I will try when I get Samsung S4 to try.
Yesterday tested LG G Pro with Dr. DAC2 DX, and it works :D
Using PowerAmp, I can play FLAC 24/96, but on Dr. DAC2 DX, the bit rate LED, whatever the bit rate I play, 44k, 48k, or 96k, it kept showing 48k only.  Maybe the player resample the bit rate ?

And if eXtream does read this, I'd be interested in any updates on the USB audio service he's been working on... That sucker is going to be a game-changer, and I'm chompin' at the bit to get my grubby little paws on it

I am sorry, it is not going as fast as we all would like. I sometimes have to work on higher priority projects, even though I'd rather work on the service.

Saw this in DanBa's list for the Galaxy Note 2: FiiO E07K Andes (USB DAC/amp): to be confirmed
 
I have just received my E07K and connected it with an OTG cable to the Note 2, worked immediately using PowerAmp to play music :D

Thanks!
 
As far as I know, most Galaxy Note 2 can work with the FiiO E07K USB DAC/amp; but some can’t.
 
"My E07K works fine with my sons S3 but not with my note 2 ,would it be because His firmware version is 4.1.2 and mine is 4.1.1 ?"

"We have tested E07K do work as DAC for GALAXY S3 and Note 2, but there are few users reported that they can't make it work. so the official reply can not state as " compatible " with Galaxy S3 and Note 2."

"Out of curiosity I just plugged the dac into my MK808 running Finless 1.5a firmware - the dac was immediately recognised and sounds great with 16/44.1 material.
I'm running XBMC media player for android and have a ton of music stored on a NAS, so all in all I have a great wireless music server with ES9023 dac that cost me about £80!!!!!!!"

So guys...

What's the best bet right now for the GS4? Just wait for the E18?

Anyone else get the new nexus 7 working?  Any kernals etc out there that work?  I really want to get one, but unfortunately being stuck with usb audio recorder pro is a deal breaker for me.

Although understandable since the app was not made for this, I wonder though. Is a kernel with 16-bit audio maxed at 48kHz no deal breaker? Would my upcoming USB audio service help?

Dear eXtream,
 
Your USB audio service is definitely a great thing, and we're all waiting for it with great impatience!
 
And I think it would be even more useful if you could make a brief description of what this service would allow users to achieve, e.g. use any player software (or would it?), play any file types including those not supported by UARP, such as lossy music (mp3 etc) and "exotic" lossless like wv, ape etc (or would it?), play .cue and other playlist types (or would it?), etc.
 
For noobs like me at least, it would be extremely helpful! I can't say, for example, that I have good understanding about how a service in android works and what are ways and restrictions for interaction between apps and services.
 
Sorry if I am asking obvious things, but they're not for me!

No problem, I'll explain once more.
 
What it is NOT:
The service will not enable USB audio playback for just any app.
 
What it is:
The service can enable USB audio playback for apps that will support the service. App authors need to write some code to support this new service. For instance, PowerAmp could use the service. The question of which file types and cuelists you can play then simply depends on the app that will support the service.
 
After or before release I'll just contact all popular media player app authors to ask if they want to support this service. And after release, you can all do the same for your favourite app if they have no support for it yet.
 
If you have further questions, please let me know! :)
