he is bypassing the internal DAC and amp using USB OTG. He has the Apex Glacier portable DAC.Amp on the other side.

I think its a micro OTG to normal micro usb, I have a similar one but that ones right angled which I think is nicer.

 

[muzic4life]

Oh okay. Interesting one. I might have a try on my samsung s3...btw guys..do you think alo international can work as such? Or is it just run with apex glacier?

 

[fuzzy1969]

It should work for any dac that works with the s3, the OTG end has the sense pin shorted out to ground. I got mine from TTVJ when I ordered the apex.

Nexus 7 using the iBasso mini to micro USB connector to the MySt 1866 PortaDAC, you really can not go wrong with this bad boy and then the hifiman RE-272 as i am just enjoying them so much at the moment!

Does the nexus 7 support PortaDAC with standard jellybean?I tried the apex but it did'nt work.

You need to install another kernel to the nexus 7 that enables usb audio

I am very interested in this , since I want to know what combination works with ak 100, I mean if my headphone matched it , there is no need to send it to RWA now right ?

 

[Swimsonny]

Oh yes i will make sure i really go into what pairs well with the Ak100. I also currently have a westone 4, Heir 3.ai, HiFiMAN RE-272 and Audio Technicha CK10 on me for a while so can say how they fare.
 
I have the biggest expectations for the AK100 with the Nail 2 V2 as it is a single armature at 120 ohms. That means no crossovers which means no problems and the higher impedance will help a lot, very close to the 1/8 rule.
