Get an error message, no usb device detected. No sound through the M8. Did everything as you said (had done it that way the first time). Anything else I could be doing wrong?
I had to change 2 usb otg cables, the first one I received was defective, the second stopped working after a few days, I blamed the m8 too, but it was working fine on my laptop. So, I decided to spend a little more for a branded cable, 5$, not a single problem since then.
The trouble with Android devices is they are all different, so some work, some dont.

As expected, it only works with USB Audio Recorder Pro app. (same as my Dacport)
Thanks to Wormsdriver.

So far, in my limited research, these are the LX compatible DAPs:
AK100 & AK120
DX100 (HDP-R10)
and in a limited fashion the IHIFI960
Android phones also have limited capabilities, depending on flavor and app used...

OTG cable is ok? Not faulty?

hopefully you will find an answer some where.
after reading here for a while I decided to buy the m8 for my new Alpha Prime. I bought the LX version despite the main usage for now will be my iPhone 4 and iPad Air (the LX was cheaper and I like the optical out). what possibilities do I have connecting the iPhone to the m8's USB-B? I could use the CCK with a short USB-A to USB-B cable but I wonder if there is any less bulky options with a direct connection as the m8 should support iDevices without CCK. thanks for your advice!
I have seen some non-cable adapters, and I think ExpatinJapan and AnakChan uses one. And that's the shortest chain possible.
On a side note, I listened to the Alpha Prime through a HiFi-M8 LX fed by an AK120 this past November. And you sir are in for a treat; great combo...
who is the best of them by the sound? M8 & chord Hugo
thank you Jeff, can't wait to test them together
And after doing some research i think these two things should connect an iphone 4 to the m8 LX.
does this work and if so, does it do hires?
