Currently using a lg g5 as audio source. My google USB C to 3.5mm adapter just arrived and works with headphones. I also plugged it up to a topping nx1s amp and that also works.

My question is, am i double amping using the nx1s ?

Maybe, It doesn't really matter though. It's not like you could separate the DAC and amp inside the adapter. If you have a separate DAC and amp, of course you would not stick another amp in between them. But you can't stick anything inside the adapter, it's essentially a black box that spits out audio. Knowing what's inside the box doesn't make the output any better or worse, it only does what it does. Using your amp with the adapter is most likely better than the adapter alone, and replacing the adapter with a dedicated DAC would be better still.
