Would like to add some more results. Tried the usb audio out on both the Sony Xperia ZL c6502 (l35h) official 4.3 rom and kernel (only rooted) and also on a Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300-GT running official 4.3 Touchwiz rom and Googy Max 2.1.1 kernel, FiiO E18 worked on both phones without any problems as well.

Anyone have an LG GPad 8.3 they could check?  I saw that the G2 is supported, which is promising, but I can't really afford to take the hit if it doesn't work.

I'm thinking of getting an Xperia Z1 compact, so I'm keen to hear of anyone using the e-18 with one.
( or indeed any other USB DAC/Amp )


+1 on the Z1 Compact.
 
I too am thinking of getting it and would like to know if the E18 (or even the E17) can work with it

Just wanted to say that I have the Xperia Z Ultra with a 4.3 ROM and both E17 and E18 work just fine but even better, the Sony X-Clarity / Audio Enhacement features can still be used even with the FiiO as the DAC for some amazing control and SQ!

I bought a FiiO E18, and it went back after less than a day.  I charged it, plugged it into my PC, and the audio was fantastic.  I couldn't believe what I was hearing out of a tiny DAC/AMP.  Then I plugged it into my HTC One with the included OTG cable (why I bought the E18), and I couldn't play anything without a staccato tap-tap-tap-tapping noise.  Tried everything I could think of to get that to clear, and I couldn't.  It went back the same day, and I ordered a desktop amp.  I'll resign myself to my HTC One's built-in audio for portable listening, until a different Android-compatible dac/amp comes along.  Sorry, FiiO :frowning2:
