care to share the link for the TTVJ item? I'd like to check out all possibilities before I make a purchase. Tks!

Totally. It's right here: http://www.ttvjaudio.com/TTVJ_Micro_USB_to_Micro_USB_Portable_Cable_p/aat0000200.htm
I like it because it's a right angle connector that doesn't put as much stress on the phone's microUSB port.
I think they probably need to communicate with their Customer Service people a little more closely. Check out 42 seconds in. There's a Note 4 connected to a V2+ via USB-OTG.
The short OTG cable w/ Hologram looks like a LH-designed cable. Which would make sense because of the list of cables on their Indiegogo page for the V2/V2+:
It would be pretty strange to create a price list for OTG cables, including both a Micro B to B and Micro B to Male A cable, and not make them available. Especially because using the V2+ with an Android/iOS smartphone seems like the primary case use for the device. The V2+ is what became of the original Geek Stream campaign (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/geek-stream-a-battery-powered-usb-headphone-amplifier-dac#/story) which is a DAC/Amp designed specifically for the purpose of connecting to a smartphone to provide an improved audio experience.
Before catastrophizing, I'd probably wait for Larry, Gavin, or Casey to come into the thread and clarify. My guess is that there has been a communications breakdown somewhere along the way. This wouldn't surprise me - historically LH has sucked at this.
pono uses dual 3.5mm trs/3 pole for balanced output. gov2+ uses a single 3.5mm trrs/4 pole for balanced. the other port is just a regular 3.5mm trs for unbalanced. so no that cable won't work
Yeah your alternative cable is much more realistically priced. Anyway the v2+ is not worthless even if it doesn't connect to a portable device - you can still use it as a possibly phenomenal quality DAC from your PC, then connect it to your amp via a 3.5mm to RCA cable (after testing to see which gain setting on the v2+ works best with this config.). And a possible benefit on using the v2+ on your home rig over the v2 could be that the battery power may give a more electronically isolated audio signal.
Because of cabling reasons I downgraded to a go v2. Will compare it with my ifi micro idsd. If it doesn't sound better I'll sell it and get a proper amp
I'm having an adaptor made to utilize the balanced out from the V2+. Does anyone know the answer to this question from the cable maker?
'You might want to check on the GOut for the TRRS balanced (Tip, Ring1, Ring2, sleeve) configuration since it is not clear if they use the standard pin-out for balanced TRRS.'
Follow up from John at SurfCables ----- Just so you know, typical balanced TRRS pinout is like this (have them confirm they are same or different):
Tip L+
1st ring next to tip R+
2nd ring L-
sleeve R-
