Why are you so obsessed with using USB DACs with smartphones and tablets? Why add bulk to portable devices? What's wrong with their internal DACs?

Lots of spontaneous smiles!
"Spent my hour at lunch today listening [to a portable Hi-Fi rig], just totally engrossed. Lots of spontaneous smiles, which for me is the most meaningful metric of sound quality.

VentureCraft sees potential in Android & standard USB audio.
VentureCraft delays the release date of its latest headphone amplifier Go-Dap X in order to modify it so that it can interwork with the Samsung Galaxy S3.

AudioQuest Bumblebee Android DAC:
http://www.avland.co.uk/aasp/audioquest/12...e/bumblebee.asp   "Designed specifically for Android devices 24-bit ESS Sabre conversion chip Supports all music files including 24-bit/192kHz lossless Drives headphones directly with 3.5mm mini-jack output Fixed or Variable output modes Asynchronous transfer for accurate digital timing 64-position (computer-controlled) analog volume control Isolated dual master clocks Colour changing LED to indicate source sample rate" I am wondering if the AudioQuest Bumblebee Android DAC is a standard self-powered USB DAC or an Android-specific USB DAC. http://www.head-fi.org/t/595071/android-ph...nd-usb-dacs/135 The AudioQuest Bumblebee should be likely an AudioQuest DragonFly with built-in rechargeable battery, because it "supports all music files including 24-bit/192kHz lossless". http://www.head-fi.org/t/617241/audioquest...ng-tiny-dac-amp http://www.stereophile.com/content/audioqu...sb-da-converter And an Android-specific USB DAC can support only 16-bit/44.1kHz: http://developer.android.com/tools/adk/aoa...l#audio-support -------------------- Android & standard USB audio: It’s up to us!

Audioquest's documentation is a bit confusing.
They talk about playing 24/192 but the Dragonfly USB is UAC1 therefore limited to 24/96 max. This post has been edited by Roseval: Sep 30 2012, 15:42 -------------------- TheWellTemperedComputer.com

A list of standard USB DAC reportedly interworking with the Android-powered smartphone Samsung Galaxy Note II:

VentureCraft Go-Dap X (USB DAC/amp): http://venturecraft.jp/gadget_en/index.php http://www.head-fi.org/t/595071/android-ph...65#post_8769593 So far, like the quad-core Exynos powered Galaxy S III, the new quad-core Exynos powered Samsung Galaxy Note II can work with the iBasso D12, the ODAC and the VentureCraft Go-Dap X; has some issue with the HeadAmp Pico; and doesn’t work with the FiiO E17. So, in regard to standard USB audio, the behaviour of the Galaxy Note II is likely identical to the behaviour of the Galaxy SIII. -------------------- Android & standard USB audio: It’s up to us!

There are USB audio and USB audio.  No Android 4.1 Jelly Bean-specific USB DAC is available for the time being. About Android-specific USB audio: "As of now, the standard Android releases do not include USB host support. Samsung decided to add this feature on their own. The Android folks are working on a funky USB dock protocol that works over USB (sort of like what Apple does) that, frankly, most of us developers think is stupid. There is certainly a push to put USB host support for standard devices (like audio, keyboards, etc.) into the normal Android releases." [Pete Millett, design engineer from Apex Hi-Fi] http://www.head-fi.org/t/632019/apex-glaci...75#post_8812425 The lobbying for standard USB audio should go on. It's on a right track thanks to Samsung.

Not sure what the advantage is. At first I was interested only cause I got a Nexus 7 and I have a pair of USB speakers gathering dust, but it's not worth the tweak really (have to reboot with the speakers connected). The actual official Nexus 7 implementation (with the dock/speakers as host) is the way to go, it will allow charging at least, functioning basically like an iPod dock (presumably even like the new "lightning" port docks which should be digital). If anything that should be standardized among devices and be more widespread.
