I'm wondering if I can use a a USB - C (to the my FIIO M6) to a USB - A (to my Peachtree USB) cable to play music?

This would better for me than using RCA to headphone jack option as I only have one RCA out on the amp. and I use it for other devices.

No, FIIO M6' USB-C output can only be used to charge the device or connect to a PC to act as a standalone DAC or transfer files/songs. The 3.5 output is for standard use in PO for earphones/headphones or in DAC mode to connect TO an AMP.

Thanks - saves me buying one more cable.

The M6 supports digital audio output through the USB-C port, so I don't know why this wouldn't work

Sorry, I think I misread your comment. The M6 can be used in "vehicle mode" in the drop-down menu and brings up the FIIO app which plays music as soon as you connect the usb-c

Now I'm just confused. So I can use it via a USB cable to my Peachtree integrated? It turns out it's not that big of a deal because I can connect my bluetooth receiver via coax and then use the RCAs to connect to the M6. The only issue is what DAC I want to operate -- the RCA jacks will have whatever is connected using its own DAC and the other outputs on the amp (USB - B, optical, Coax) will run through the Peachtrees internal DAC.

If you connect the M6 via the USB-C port to the USB input on the Peachtree, it should output digital audio to the Peachtree's internal DAC. I haven't used the M6 with the Peachtree, but I've tried it with 2 other DACs and it worked without issue, so it should work. The other person who responded and said the USB-C on the M6 can only be used for charging, file transfer or as a DAC itself is wrong, the USB-C on the M6 is two-way, it can do digital in or digital out.

The M6 can also act as a Bluetooth receiver itself if you want.

Yes, I apologise for getting my initial post wrong... I bought the right cable and just connected my M6 to my SABAJ DA3 thru the USB-C (to USB-C). I'll try it to Micro later tonight

 

[harry501501]

Actually pretty glad I read your OP

 

[harry501501]

Worked to micro to my SMSL Sanskrit 10 MkII with the added power source used

Well, it doesn't seem to work. USB - B in Peachtree to USB-C in M6. I tried changing various settings and restarting the M6, but no signal seems to come through whatsoever. I went back to RCA to jack and that works fine.

If I use a USB C > A > A-A Adapter A > B cable it won't work.
If I use Samsung USB c > A adapter > A > B cable it does work.
You probably need C to A OTG adapter to get this to work.
