->[Q] Tablet with digital audio out [tablet->optical(toslink or coax)cable->DAC]
Hello,
I've tried the search and couldn't find anything relating to my issue.
I need a portable device/music player that has the ability to stream digital audio to my DAC (digital to analog converter).
I would like to listen to my music in my car using this tablet/music player. I have a DAC/Signal prosessor which has both optical coax and toslink inputs to recieve the signal so either one is fine.
Here is the signal path explained once again:
tablet -> optical toslink or coax cable -> DAC -> any given audio system (In my case also car audio system)
Please help me choose a tablet or help me find a way to do this. I know that some tablets have hdmi out, but it gets a little too tricky to seperate the digital audio signal from hdmi port to spdif, am I right?
Any help is greatly appreciated,
-Tersi
Guys, I don't mean to be impatient but I thought this was the place to get some answers to my problem.
Is there a way to send digital audio via usb port? I think there are ways to convert digital audio from usb to spdif..
Or could there maybe be a docking station, that has a digital audio output?
Please share your knowlage of the tablet world!
I am also looking for this too! I want to use a tablet as a car pc and run the audio out of it digitally to prevent all noise and ground loop headaches.
Did anyone ever get anywhere with this. I'm looking to do the exact same thing and the HDMI converter kit I bought is useless so I'm looking for another go around.
ainol novo basic
I just received an ainol novo basic w/ ICS (mcbub.com from LA). It uses a MIPS processor so not all apps are 100% compatible, however I am able to use it as intended (music player). If you tether you can use pandora, slacker, etc.
I take the HDMI out into a monoprice 5557 (sorry no url)
HDMI converter which outputs toslink, analog, RCA.
I use this in a home application (110v), however they are low power and you can use it in a car.
Be careful you need the Ainol Basic because it has the HDMI output. The paladin (which I also have) does not.
I'm sure there are others but for $130 I doubt you will do better, especially because it's running ICS also.
I use RCA optical into my Fiio DAC (sounds better). Toslink works too.
Monoprice switch uses ~3W on 5V, the Ainol is powered by miniusb.
I'm sure you have an onboard DAC (Fiio is excellent tho), but if you dont I recommend it. It has issues w/ 5.1 audio tho, so only pass it stereo.
I haven't tested 5.1 sound on it, although the specs say it will pass it. Your DAC will probably be the issue.
HTH.
Is this the only tablet that can do that? I was also considering this. Doing digital to the back of the car and then running it to a powerful car audio system.
I am also looking for this tablet or solution to this problem. Anybody knows?

Yep !!ok!!But the problem is (for car install) the charging (in the same time):crying::crying:
Even the older samsung tablets with the multi-pin connectors have the ability to conect and charge .
This make me mad...

What kind of tablet do you have there are otg and charging kernels for most of the popular tablets and a few tricks for any samsung that supports otg...and if ur tablet doesn't support it u can wire a relay to a moded cable that will charge when the car is off and otg when car is on.. if u need details let me know.

Hi guys.
I'm totally New in this forum and i say sorry for my bad english.
I have bought a Huawei MediaPad M5 10.0 Pro LTE, and i know that this tablet don't have a HDMI output via type-c connector. You know if with unlock and root it's possible active the HDMI output?
Thanks all for you attention.
I don't think so, as the USB-C connecter comes with USB2.0 I think. anybody: correct me when I'm wrong
maybe i explained it wrong. I mean to say that in the other tablet and smartphone (Samsung s3, Redmi 5 etc) it was possible through a plug "type-c to HDMI" or "mini-usb to HDMI" and show the screen of the Tablet or SmartPhone on the TV or monitor with HDMI IN. I knew that this possibility in MediaPad5 10 Pro, was not possible, and i wold like to know, if with Root was able to unlock this feature, or if it is a hardware limitation.
Sorry again for my bad english.
USB3 allows that. The Mediapad M5 (Pro) comes with USB2 only. So an USB-to-HDMI cable won't work. It is a hardware limitation.

I have a same tablet and I miss the hdmi out as well but I am not sure it is hardware limitation. It is just not implemented.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE phone USB 2.0 with MHL TV-out. Hdmi out is working fine via Samsung HDTV adapter. Unfortunately it cannot be connected to my tablet.
Hi all,
I've purchased OP7 Pro on launch and I'm happy that it supports DisplayPort. I'm going to be using desktop mode in my office. I would obviously need it to be charging while working.
Is there a 2 in 1 dongle solution where you can use display port and charge the phone at the same time?
Does USB C would even allow that kind of dongle and is it possible?
Any other solutions on my case?
Thanks in advance
Edit:
would something like this work?

I am trying this one with my OP7 and it is working pretty good.

Are you able to use a USB keyboard and mouse HDMI out and power
Good morning. I bought a cable type-c to dvi and connected to a monitor where the samsung galaxy send video correctly. why oppo find x2 lite doesn't work so even if i activated otg? perhaps this feature is not for this kind of connection? thanks
I don't think Oppo devices support MHL. Try using Chromecast instead.
I want to buy a used lapdock HP Elite X3 for some cheap price 70-100€. But I can't find nothing about Huawei Emui Desktop compatibility with that lapdock. I read that Android 10 phones with Dex have problems in connectivity, sound and mouse pad. If somebody tried this lapdock with Huawei phones please write a experience does it work?
P40 pro huawei works on it. Like a charm. Howeverrrrrr no sound throughput so get a bluetooth speaker.
Also i cant charge it judt by pluggin in charger. (either the device must be turned on when chargin. Or you can do it by holding 2 buttons to show battery and then plug in.
Other then that it fully works with desktopmode and also screen duplication mode
