The all new Continental Dual Mono

Mm......just wondering, to my fellow  cdm owners: what's the best (least troublesome) Android or iOS have you tried with the CDM? Although I am a Windows Phone user, I am willing to shell out some bucks to buy, gulp, an Android smartphone  to act as pure transport (not as a communications device) to feed the amp/dac of the CDM. Tia.

Quality Android phones don't have to be expensive to be good. You'd want a device running Lollipop (5.0) or newer to use with the CDM. There are a handful of phones that don't support external devices but as I understand that's often due to the manufacturer's OS modifications and not Android itself. I use a killer $25 Android phone, the Moto G, at home. I purchased it simply to play with Android and it's excellent. I should try it with a mobile-friendly DAC to see how it fares.

Good points Brian. I've used my iPhone 6 with the CDM and the camera adapter and it's worked well. Kind of a pricey to use just for audio though!

I haven't been able to get Samsung Galaxy note 4 running lolipop to work on the CDM. If anyone has suggestions I'm all ears. My other portable amp/dacs work just fine via OTG cable from the Note 4. I've tried different cables, but nothing works. It's been a bit disappointing because I purchased this for 80% use as portable/transportable. But on the bright side, the thing is so dang good I'm considering selling my WA7 and using as my home rig. But I still want to take it to work with me - so getting my Note 4 to work with the CDM would be awesome.

If I find the time I can try with my s4 on lolipop tomorrow. Right now I am listening to my Legend R balanced (Linum) with the AK240 balanced (Alo sxc24). The LR is picking up a bit too much hiss though, will be switching to the VE5 in a bit.

Damn this CDM is good

Planned to use the CDM for my K-10's because I know how well Ken's stuff drives IEM's. 
 
Was floored to find out how well the CDM drives my LCD-3's. It's sick how well this smallish portable box works with my Audeze's - very close to the SQ and impact of my dedicated desk-top rig. 
 
You rock Mr. Ball (and Mr. Rossi too!)

pairing of androids with dac/amps in general has been patchy at best due to the way different phones implement android.
