Surely the whole point of the E18 is that it allows the use of a digital signal from Android devices running the appropriate software? Who cares about transport controls?

I did get the e18 on Saturday - and as already discussed here it does not work with my Nexus 4 or my Nexus 5 (at least not yet ... still some rooting to do).
Now all is not lost, for a couple of reasons - I always have the need for a yet another usb dac (with and without a headphone amp) and because it does work pretty well with the new ipad mini and the camera connection kit (cck) - sounds great and the buttons all work. Works on my old ipad 2 and my wife's iphone 5s also. (Just to document how it is working for me: i am using a lightning to 30 pin and a 30 pin cck to the e18 - I assume the lightning cck would be fine too)
I'll report back if I can get it to work with a nexus 4 or 5 ... that is my objective for next weekend. I am a little surprised that it appears to work on the LG G2 - which I would have thought would have the same limitation.
I experience some problems with the E18 on my Ipad 3 IOS 7.04, using only the 30pin CCK. At first things seem OK but when I try to play some songs in ITunes, it starts playing for several seconds, but than I get the message that the device is disconnected becase it draws too much power. Is this a known issue and is there possibly a work around?
Perhaps an ignorant question, but how do you know if you've bought the "new" version?
Assuming it is a rev.B E18, you need to be sure it is on 'phone-in' and not 'PC-in'.

What needs to be done to get a S4 working with the E18? I connected them with the micru-usb cable and the Phone had Android 4.2.2. Up until now no sound. Do I need a special app to get this working?
