Does anyone have any clues on how to go from my Fiio X7 MKii via micro USB, to my Schiit Jotunheim, out balanced to my headphones? I tried switching it to USB DAC, but still didn't get any audio.

If it helps, I'm running build 1.0.5, kernel version 3.0.101+, and am on Android 5.1.1

micro usb to USB Type B FOR DAC

The book store? I'm not sure what you mean. Please see the pictures below for the cables I used. I tried both and it still didn't work.

Just an FYI since I didn’t see it mentioned here, only on the Q5 thread, but the 4.4mm balanced amp, AM3B is now available. FiiO’s Ali Express store has it for sale. Just thought I’d mention it.

That's awesome. Any chance you could answer the question I posted right before in this thread?
Dear friend,

Is the Schiit Jotunheim you mentioned the following one:

Why you would need connecting via usb cable? Seems no usb input port for it as well. You could connect the lineout port of the X7MKII to it via the 3.5mm to 2RCA cable for help.

Best regards

#FiiO A wasted opportunity in my opinion. Why not an AM5 with a 4.4 balanced and 3.5 SE. Everyone has already got an AM3
Because in balanced mode you get 100 mW additional power over the AM3A. I’m going to have to retire a portable cable to 4.4mm for my HD800S now :wink:
