the compatibility of androids with external dac is not universal and patchy at the very best due to the different way of implementation by the various phone manufacturers.  even with the same brand, different models behave differently to different external dacs,

I think getting a zx1 or 2 is a better pairing, I tried otg out in the store. It was just plug and play, hassle free

Hi,

I just purchased the CDM and it does sound very very good.

The issue I am having is that my Android phone (LG G3) is not able to detect the CDM.  LG G3 on Android Ver. 5 running Onkyo HF player; micro-micro USB cable to the CDM.  Using the same phone and USB cable to the Chord Hugo and it played fine.

Any advise?

Thank you.

Got an OTG cable.

Still not able to detect CDM.. Hugo plays fine with the same setup.

Try different android version or mobile? Troubleshoot and check which is the problem.

Just tried using another phone, a Samsung running on Android ver 4. Using Onkyo HF and OTG cable, still cannot detect CDM. Could detect the Hugo though.

Not sure if the issue is the CDM.

Most likely is the CDM issue. Does it work with the pc/iphone?

My iMac (2012, 27") doesn't work with the CDM, but a MacBook Pro I borrow does.

My iMac didn't either until I enrolled in the public beta and installed El Capitan.  Even then it didn't until two updates were complete.  But it does now.  Now if someone can just figure out the iPhone issue with FLAC apps...

Looking forward to El Capitan.

Dear all,
 
We continue to work with Cmedia on the connect issues some people have. Also I just heard from Cmedia and they said they will release Win 10 drivers this week and we will post them on the CDM FAQ and driver page.
 
Thank you

on my zx2 and 240 using the stock ic from cypherlabs and alo lod, i have to put in high gain to get reasonable volume (or am i doing something wrong?)

on 240, it was sibilant using Layla uni
zx2 - less sibilant

will try to Ab this with Hugo

ak240 balanced output > cdm balanced input > cdm balanced output > layla balanced
 
if your music is well recorded, well mastered ... it should not sound sibilant

thanks! i will have to find those balanced cables again as i got used to just ak240>optical cable>hugo
 
my ears are very sensitive to sibilance.. i do find the laylas to be a bit sibilant from 6k-8k. it seems to be boosted when i used it on cdm and lesser on 240 alone
 
but no sibilance at all on my ex1000
 
 
 
also if it makes sense will try to 
 
ak240>hugo>cdm and vice versa
