Hi,
Just recently joined the forum. Wondering if anyone on the forum has had experience of connecting up Android phones to external desktop DAC’s via
OTG USB C to USB B.

I use this on ocassion. Put inline between phone and your regular usb cable.
Thanks @TimpTim44
Was looking at purchasing a Topping E30 II DAC. It has the female USB B source input and a separate 5V power input. Some DAC’s I have been looking at, only have the combined signal and power USB input.
Was wondering, since it has a separate 5V input from an external power source, that the current draw from the phone via the signal USB input would be reduced and letting the phone battery last longer.

@PowerLine71 I experience very little phone power drain with this method,
using the E30 with it’s own power supply. ( an upgraded psu such as from Ifi is another option eventually.)
I have an original E30 and still use it ocassionally. Nice input options and good
performance for the money. Curious…which amp are you using?
Hi @TimpTim44
Currently running a Cayin DAP via lineout to a NAD C316BEE V2 integrated amp driving KEF Q150 speakers.
The Cayin DAP is old now and on it’s way out. So looking to use an Android phone via USB C as a transport into an external DAC to export line level into the amp.
The music collection these days is all FLAC 44.1 to 192.
