as the title says, do you use or are you planning to use an external DAC with your Note 7? If so, did you run into any compatibility issues? For instance, I am planning to get an Audioquest Dragonfly Red if it turns out that I dont like the internal DAC of my soon to arrive Note 7 Exynos with my Westone W40's, but I will wait until I find some feedback on the compatibility of the two devices (Note 7 with Dragonfly Red).
I think it would be helpful for people, especially since the Note 7 has a USB Type-C connector, to know which external DAC will work with their Note 7.

With the suplied adapter every external dac should work.... usb otg works with all the accesories ( see youtube video).

is this also true for DAPs/DACs like the Fiio X5ii? In their official forums they claim the Fiio X5ii can not be used as a DAC for Android Smartphones because the Smartphone expects Synchronous Data Transfer whilst the X5ii is designed for Asynchronous Data Transfer. Now I know there's an App called USB Audio Player Pro which bypasses the Android OS and allows Async DACs to function but I rely on ID3 Tags that only Rocket Player can give me. I heard that USB Audio Playback was possible from Adroid 5 and upwards, so I would think that the newer Android OS can also handle Asynchronous Data Transfer, am I right in that assumption?

I'm glad to hear that, are you using USB Audio Player Pro or does the Dragonfly also work with other Music Players?

i'm using with USB Audio Player PRO and the a Beta version of PowerAmp that has USB DAC functionality. USB Audio Player PRO seems to provide better output (vs the beta PowerAmp) and, with my Shure SE846 in ear monitors, music sounds simply amazing... mitigates my need for Viper4Android. By the way, i'm using N930FD, rooted with SuperSU and Dr Ketan's (near stock) ROM.

Poweramp beta does not access the amp on the dragonfly, that's why the output is lower compared to usb audio player.

Fiio Q1 works nicely. Chain is as follows:
Google Play Music (high quality) > Note 7 > Stock USB OTG adapter > Generic USB Cable > Fiio Q1 > Sennheiser 595
Works fine with my OPPO HA-2 with the USB C OTG adapter. But the USB C to Micro B didn't work with the HA-2's included Micro B to Micro B cable.
Also purchased Monoprice's new 6" USB C to Micro B cable, will update whether or not it works when it arrives.

What cable are you using then? A different micro B to micro B with the adapter that came with the note? I got the HA-2's cable to work using a different adapter usb c adapter I got off Amazon. Problem with that one is my note 7 says it's charging the HA-2.
I bought a usb c male to micro b male off ebay and it didn't work.

The USB port on that device probably does not support MTP, so it can't directly pull music off of the storage. It also was released around 2010ish (Based on a quick Google), before Android got the capability to send audio over USB so it does not support the Android standard. It will not be able to output over USB. You're going to have to use a 3.5mm cable to connect it to the headphone jack on the Nexus to get any audio output.
Ok, thx 4 help. Now i will buy 30pin to mini-jack adapter on ebay .
You can try one of those Apple 30pin <-> Bluetooth adapters. That way you can charge your phone over USB and just send the audio over Bluetooth to the dock. Something like this: http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/the-best-bluetooth-dock-adapter/
My issue
Hi everyone, I have a Nexus 6P and want to route my audio through a USB type C converter to 3.5mm headphone Jack. I have purchased one online, but it doesn't seem to be working. I have seen that the Moto Z has this adapter and I assumed one I found online would be compatible with my 6P. The reason I want to do this is because I prefer for the AUX jack to come out the bottom of my phone.
What I have tired
Changed 'Select USB Configuration' to all the different options and tried playing music.
Tried 'audio routing' apps from the app store
What I would like to know
Is this because I need to change a setting in my phone to route music out of the USB C?
Do I need to get some kind of DAC to allow support for this?
Has anyone else tried this with their phone?
Thanks

One reason is that to me it makes more sense to put your phone upside down into you pocket. I've always done this at least. So when listening to music I have to put it the other way round. I have also heard the USB C port offers better sound quality.

Re:sound quality, you'd possibly see a quality increase if you use an external Digital to Analogue Converter or fully usb-c headphones. BUT, if you're using a little dongle (if it's possible), then the phone is still managing the analogue conversion and, thus, a very similar quality of audio output. Now I don't know of the 6p's ability to pipe it straight out iPhone 7 style through a dongle, but short of buying a DAC and going whole-hog on an audio upgrade, I'd just flip your phone the other way in your pocket and go the standard route.
Just my $.02
I have been looking for a solution to this too and I seem to have found one. I poked around on Amazon and I think I finally found adapters that work, here's the link https://goo.gl/QT2ith This the only one with positive reviews so when it comes in on the 30th I'll let all of you know.

Looks quite similar to the one that I got. Hopefully it works for you! Let me know how it goes
I read recently that the current implementation of audio over USB-C isn't very efficient or battery friendly. There's a new spec being ratified to provide audio like the iphone can. Hopefully that's a firmware change and not a hardware one.

I don't think it's possible on the 6P, not without using a USB DAC anyway.
As far as I'm aware, the adapter you have is for a USB 3/3.1 interface. While the 6P has USB-C it is USB 2.
I'm able to get audio out of my USB C port, but it's with a USB headset. Haven't tried it with a 3.5mm headphone adapter, but havd no reason to try it either.
This is weird. Because i have a pair of Sennheiser Urbanites (Wireless edition), and i can use bluetooth, aux, and usb (like for a computer) audio. I once tried to turn off the headsets (bluetooth off, aux and usb still works if connected), and turned off bluetooth on my phone. Then i used my USB type C to USB type A Female adapter (from the google store), and connected the usb-cable from the headsets into the type c adapter. it did output audio through the usb-cable.

Bluetooth headphones usually have their own DAC, so the audio for all but the Aux is still being sent through the DAC first, which is supported by older USB standards.
The new USB 3.1 Audio standard can pass through analogue audio from the internal DAC, which is what I believe phones such as the Moto Z utilise. Otherwise the adapter would require it's own DAC, which would make it far larger and more expensive.
Not sure if you will find a good solution at the moment since they just created a standard for audio over usb c http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160927006252/en/USB-IF-Announces-USB-Audio-Device-Class-3.0
Did the amazon converter end up working for you?
My experience so far.
Hi, I ordered some usb c to 3.5mm & out of the box so far they aren't working. I tried Neutron and tried to force the audio to usb but unsuccessfully with phone not recognizing the USB connection.
On the other hand the type C to usb-a adapter worked beautifully using mixplorer. If I get working, will update. Thanks.

Yes it works with the fiio k1, just get a micro usb to type c usb. I got this on ( https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Pa...sr=8-2&keywords=micro+usb+to+type+c+monoprice ). Sounds a lot better.

Hey, I'm currently having another question...
Does it work OOB or with a 3rd party app ? Can you use apps like Spotify etc...?
I have a problem with my Mate 9 and the fiio k1. Always after I unplug the usb c cable with the k1 and I want to reconnect it, it doesn´t work. It only works if I reboot the device.
looking for Fiio K1 to work with mate 9 pro..anyone with success please reply and tell me the details of quality and performance..will it worth buying?
thanks in advance
Hello guys.
I'm reviving the old thread.
I want to use my Mate 9 as an audio source in my car, connecting it directly to the installed DSP optical input. The goal is to achieve the best audio performance I can get from it. That's why the Bluetooth is not an option.
So, the setup should look like:
"Mate9 - USB C to 3.5mm cable - 3.5mm to optical converter - optical cable -DSP".
The path is long, but I can't figure out there way to do that.
I tried today, but I failed. As a option, I tried the alternative way of using the phone's 3.5 mm audio jack and succeed in playing some music through the DSP, but still, the quality would be better using the USB port.
My questions are:
Can I use the Mate 9 as an USB audio player?
If yes, are there any settings I shall choose in order to make it stream the audio through the USB port, not through its speakers?
Should I use specific player for that?
Please, feel free to share your thought here.
Hi,
Let's start a USB C earphone support thread. So far I've tried the following, without full support:
- Razer Hammerhead, Music Yes, Microphone in Recorder Yes, Calls No
- OnePlus Bullets, Music Yes, Recorder Yes, Calls No
I'm starting to think all USB C headphones are going to be like this on the Note 9... Surprised they haven't updated the source to support these kinds of headphones ahead of the Note 10 and it's lack of 3.5mm port.
Same problem
Same problem here. No solution so far. Going to take these things back.

I'm thinking they don't see a reason to have usb c headphone fully supported on the Note 9 because it actually has a 3.5mm port? We all know Samsung is the last to adopt certain things. It would be nice if they did support it though because the range of possibilities would be more for listening to music. Headphone Jack busted...not a problem, use usb c port etc.
Xiaomi ANC HiRes audio type C earphones, not working at all
I've tried Google's for pixel 3 earphones. Music and control (including mic on recorder) yes, phone calls no. But I must say: the sound through these earphones surpasses anything I've tried on my note 9. Even without phone call function the quality of music coming out of these earphones is worth it!
HTC U-Sonic USB-C earbuds are a no-go all the way around on both the Note 9 & Note FE.
The Developer Options on the Note FE even has an audio source option in the USB Configuration section & still nothing.
IIRC, the HTC USB-C buds were one of the earliest models available & may have been proprietary to HTC phones.
I have got them to work on a few non-HTC phones along the way, but, Samsung isn't one of 'em (OnePlus/BlackShark/RazerPhone come to mind,IIRC).

I wouldn't be surprised if the Note 9, 8 and FE don't support the use of USB Type-C headsets for calling.
I use a Lenovo USB-C hub that I plug my Astro Mixamp into and listen to music.
I can't get phone calls to work tho.
i tried plugging note 10 C headphone to my note 9 so it is just able to hear music but can not answer the call. However, the C headphone did on my S10e.
OnePlus Type-C Bullets work!
Hey everybody! I just came on to search whether or not my type C bullets from my OnePlus 6t would work on the Note 9 I just got. Before plugging them in, I went into developer options and unchecked "Disable USB audio routing". Plugged them in and the sound incredible! The in-line volume, play and pise functions on the Bullets work as well. However, attempted to make a phone call and it just stayed defaulted to the phones earpiece with the Bluetooth or speaker phone option. Anyway, just thought I'd share my experience a few moments ago lol. Yes it would be great if we could get these to work with a simple phone call. Hate to just put these Bullets in a drawer to collect dust until the day they are supported by a phone I own lol.

Correct. I also tried on a Corsair G935 and audio works but phone calls do it. Tried it on my Note 10 and if works just fine for calls.

Okay so i know this thread was started a while back, I just wanna say for any new Googler's that the Note 9 cannot support calls because it has the 3.5mm ear jack which handles all the analogue sounds means phone calls, "Hey Google" and similar cannot be passed through the Type C headsets/headphones. Its hardware so no apps can help with that.

How are you setting it up? When I plug in through USB-C in my car, I don't get sound at all (I used to, with my old Pixel 3XL).
I have to plug in through the headphone jack, which gives me pretty bad interference.
It's the main reason I was initially considering the Mi10 Pro, but I've decided it's not worth it, as the camera set is about the same.

it is running out of the box. just plug it in and all sounds are playing boys via the usb c headset.. no settings were needed.
same with my usb c DAC dongle.
for me the mi note 10 pro is worth it because of the bigger storage, (i make a lot of 4k Videos)
