Xperia Z to PHA-1 cable use

[RIQUE]

Hey folks, I just dished some serious dough for an Xperia Z and a PHA-1. I need to buy connecting cable but have some doubts.
The out on the Z is Micro B USB. The one in the PHA-1 is the same.  Can I use a Micr B to Micro B male to male cable as pictured. I get confused about the A to B and B to A connections. Thanks much.

Has it actually been confirmed to work with Sony's smartphones? So far I've only seen the PHA-1 paired with iDevices, PCs and Samsung's smartphones which typically have a lot more flexibility when it comes to external DACs than any other manufacturer.

Yes confirmed to work with several other dac/amps here are a few links.

Any (hopefully good) news regarding Xperia Z to PHA-1 using USB? I have an Xperia Z and I'm about to order the PHA-1. Would be nice to know beforehand
