  What would you expect other than copper for a digital cable? Why should that sound cleaner?

Ooh, very expensive. Works best after consuming a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.

Please explain the science behind that.

Efficient in what way? How can it be more accurate? Personal experience s a tricky thing due to:
  • Expectation Bias
  • Human echoic memory is good for around 3 seconds give or take a little bit.

Any good Micro USB to USB C short cables? Every time I search I just keep coming up with those tiny Female to Male Micro to C pieces. Don't really want to put that much stress on the connector.
 
EDIT: Can find the long cables, but was looking for less than 6 inches. Right angle would be even better, but not necessary.

EDIT:
Any trick to getting the Fiio E18 working on Android via the Phone-In connection? Using the Note 7 with Snapdragon (T-Mobile). 
 
What I have tried so far:
Connecting via the Note 7's Micro to USB-C Adapter with both Fiio Micro USB cables
Plugging the Fiio in and rebooting the Note 7
Turning on the Fiio before restart, or after restart (neither get it to detect)
Poweramp, Google Play, and Soundcloud do not work. Phone audio plays through the phone speakers and not through the Fiio
 
The Fiio does work with my laptop, so the device does seem to be working properly.

Sure - it has such a thing as a clearer sound from the player to the amp, you buy it for yourself and see. I did a comparison with a **** cable from fiio and copper, so these statements are from personal experience!

You keep coming back to that same statement, yet dodging the fact that it's nowhere scientific to back up your claim. Anecdotes will not do!

Might be an Android problem and not the E18 problem. Download the USB Audio Player Pro grom Google Play and check whether that works. If it does, it's the phone's fault.

I got item 13013 from monoprice which is a usb-c to micro usb6
 
I can confirm that it works with spotify and pandora. The cable is so It's a little finicky. you have to turn on the fiio before you launch spotify and sometimes you have to go back and turn up the system volume since it turns it down. I have a verizon note 7 if that makes a difference.I posted on this on the last page.

 
I do have one question about this DAC: I always thought that since the signal is digital the volume wouldn't be adjustable. However on both my phone and on my Macbook Pro  laptop I can adjust the volume on the computer which increases the volume on my headphones. For example when you use an HDMI out you cannot control the volume. Why does this happen? I do think the Fiio is not just amplifying the signal since it sounds more detailed and not just louder (unless my ears are playing tricks on me).
