Mine is working without problems with a Nexus 5 with Lollipo.
Some issues:
-it is necessary to attach the e18 with the phone screen off. Otherwise it's impossible to shut off che screen using the standby button.
- it is necessary to connect the E18 after the Nexus 5 has already loaded the OS. Otherwise the nexus goes in provisory mode

Samsung galaxy Tab S T800 working like a charm. Android 4.4.2, mini OTG cable provided by Fiio. Works natively, tested SoundCloud, My cloud Player, Neutron, PowerAmp and Youtube.
 
edit.: Galaxy Tab S 8.4 T700 working too.

Bought the FiiO e18 for the use with a Huawei Ascned P6.
The P6 recognizes the e18 and the Buttons work (Play/Pause etc...), but the Sound is just coming out of the speakers...
--> P6 can't handle to bring the Sound through the USB-Interface, because of it's fu***** UI -.-'
 
I managed to work with USB Audio Player, but within this Player the Buttons doesn't work. So for right now, i'm not able to use ALL of the features the e18 has got, with my Smartphone.
 
Would be great, if there comes an Update on the part of Huawei to fix that...


Did you manage to get this running? Bought a Huawei Mate 7 and was wondering, if it works with the E18.

it works just fine with my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE. although i need to know one thing, i cant change EQ settings in the native music app. can some one tell me some android music player where the EQ would work when it is used. 
 
btw, i used both my Sennheiser HD 518 and Beyerdynamics DT 990 Pro 250Ω and both work just fine. (i know 990 needs more power but they sound just fine for me. my O2 ODAC is on the way for them 990 pros :wink: )

Most Android music app will let you use their built EQ and tone controls, however the downside is that those apps won't bypass the Android framework and will be limited to 16/48k so if you have hi rez files they will be down sampled/converted.Think of this like Windows's "direct sound" except you can't select sampling rate. The native app you use most likely bypasses Android framework to playback the files as pure as it can be, at least in my case it surely does. If you only have CD rips then this is a non issue for you. Power amp, Neutron,Rocket should work as you asked.
