Re: USB audio?
USB audio is enabled on Texas Instruments Blaze tablet, which is targeted at developers.
"The two HS USB ports are the standard High Speed Host ports and are used for connecting devices like Mouse, Keyboard, USB stick, Camera, USB audio Headset/speakers etc. Also, many customers use the EHCI interface for Modem Connection. If you connect a camera to this port, you can browse the pics on the SD card in camera in the gallery using the PTP daemon in ICS. Also, you can connect USB Headset or speakers and play audio over USB."
"On Blaze if you plug in a USB audio device, all audio will be routed to the device."
The Google issue "Enable USB audio", requesting Google to standardize USB audio on Android smartphones/tablets, is currently ranked 11 of 22,586.

Re: USB audio?
"The Samsung Galaxy S3: AndroidNZ goes hands-on, brings you our thoughts and exclusive details
...and what about those USB audio drivers?
Anyone with a passing familiarity with me will know this was one of the questions I most wanted an answer to. You see Supercurio was able to ascertain that USB audio drivers are present on the S3, only there was no way for him to know whether they work out of the box.
Sadly it seems they do not.
To my great disappointment there was no audio output on connecting my FiiO E17 USB DAC and headphone amplifier. I guess we'll just have to keep waiting for some enterprising developer to make use of those orphaned drivers that are just sitting there on the S3..."
The Google request "Enable USB Audio" has reached the Top 10 of the Google issue rankings.

Re: USB audio?
Apparently, the USB audio feature is enabled on factory Samsung Galaxy S3:
"I got my sgs3 a few hours ago and just plugged it into my Topping tp30 USB DAC/amp and it's playing audio through it to my speakers!!!"
Affordable hi-fi rig:
music stored on SGS3 > SGS3 player > digital audio stream >> USB cable >> USB DAC/amp Topping TP30 >> speakers
Keep lobbying for the Android USB audio standardisation (i.e. USB DAC as a standard USB device, like a USB mass storage device, for Android smartphone/tablet).

Re: USB audio?
Samsung Galaxy S3 interworks with USB DAC/amp FiiO E7:
music stored on SGS3 > SGS3 player > digital audio stream >> USB OTG cable >> USB DAC/amp FiiO E7 >> headphones
Samsung Galaxy S3 triggers a new era of Hi-Fi for the masses with affordable rig:
. affordable (subsidized) smartphone
. affordable common USB DAC/amp compliant with PC or Mac, like FiiO E7 (us$80)
http://www.amazon.com/FiiO-Portable-Headph...39194973&sr=8-4
NwAvGuy geek’s verdict: "The biggest compliment I can pay the E7 is I can’t find much I would change for a portable product in this price category."
"Clearly, the E7 is priced very competitively, and I consider it a good product — not some cheap Chinese stuff. Not only is the E7 packed with features, it also comes with a solid build quality, and a solid sound quality as well."
. affordable headphones, like Digitech Pro Monitor Headphones (us$50), clone of Fischer Audio FA-003, Brainwavz HM5 or Lindy Premium Hi-Fi headphones
"Now that I've had these for a good month I can honestly say they are my 'New' daily headphones!
I simple love the music that comes from these headphones.
They are beautifully balanced with sparkly highs that are not offensive to the ears, mid's that introduces a 'fun' factor to the music for all genres and lastly lows that are firm, bassy and goes amazingly deep with out distorting or overpowering the rest of the music.
The clarity is excellent with a very nice sound stage and for a 'closed' headphone they do sound quite open and spacious!
Isolation is fantastic especially listening to music or playing games at night.
Comfort is excellent and the 'killer' clamp grip slowly eases after regular use! I've listened to these all night and in to the early morning without wanting to take them off!"
Keep lobbying for the Android USB audio standardisation (i.e.USB DAC as a standard USB device, like a USB mass storage device, for Android smartphone/tablet).

Re: USB audio?
A list of standard USB DAC reportedly interworking with the Android-powered smartphone Samsung Galaxy S3:
stock Samsung Galaxy S3 > digital USB audio out >> USB OTG cable (micro-A plug inserted in the S III) >> standard USB DAC >> amp >> headphones
. AMB Gamma 1:
. AMB Gamma 2:
. Asus Xonar U3 (USB DAC/amp):
. Behringer UCA202 (USB DAC/amp):
. Behringer UCA222 (USB DAC/amp):
. Beresford Caiman:
. C-Media chipset-based sound card Dynamode 7 channel USB 2.0 (USB DAC/amp):
. Cakewalk Sonar SPS 25:
. Corsair HS1 Gaming headset (USB DAC/amp/headphones):
. FiiO E7 (USB DAC/amp):
. Furutech ADL Cruise (USB DAC/amp):
. GoVibe DAC:
. GoVibe Mini USB DAC:
. GoVibe Petite (USB DAC/amp):
. HRT HeadStreamer (USB DAC/amp):
. HRT Music Streamer II:
. HeadAmp Pico (USB DAC/amp): (Exynos-based S III connected to Pico via USB 2.0 hub)
. HeadRoom Total BitHead (USB DAC/amp):
. HeadStage USB DAC cable:
. HiFiMan Express HM-101:
. iBasso D-Zero (USB DAC/amp):
. iBasso D2 Boa (USB DAC/amp):
. iBasso D2+ Boa (USB DAC/amp):
. iBasso D5 (USB DAC/amp):
. iBasso D10 (USB DAC/amp):
. iBasso D12 (USB DAC/amp):
. iQube v2 (USB DAC/amp):
. KingRex UD-01:
. Leckerton UHA-6S MKII (USB DAC/amp):
. Matrix Mini-i (USB DAC/amp):
. Microsoft Philips Digital Sound System 80 (USB DAC/amp/speakers):
. NuForce Icon HDP (USB DAC/amp):
. NuForce Icon Mobile (USB DAC/amp):
. Objective DAC (ODAC):
. ODAC+O2 (USB DAC/amp):
. Ordnance .25 (USB DAC/amp):
. RSA Predator (USB DAC/amp):
. Stoner Acoustics UD100:
. Syba SD-AUD20101: (optical S/PFIF capable)
. Topping D1 Mark 2 (USB DAC/amp):
. Topping TP30 (USB DAC/amp):
. VentureCraft Go-Dap X (USB DAC/amp):
. xDuoo XP-1 (USB DAC/amp):
So far, like the quad-core Exynos powered Galaxy S3, the new quad-core Exynos powered Samsung Galaxy Note II can work with the iBasso D12 and the ODAC, and has some issue with the HeadAmp Pico.
So, in regard to standard USB audio, the behaviour of the Galaxy Note II is likely identical to the behaviour of the Galaxy S3.Last edited by DanBa; 10-11-2012 at 03:18 AM.

Quick question. What the Hell is this?
- 08-02-2012, 02:22 PM #13 Re: USB audio?
If you're referring to usb audio it's the idea that you can hook up a USB DAC (Digital analog converter usually reserved for computer use) and hook it up to this device bypassing the internal dac (improving audio quality/dynamics). As far as I can tell all one needs is a otg usb adaptor that plugs into the bottom of the device and a USB DAC. Hope that helps.

Re: USB audio?
As far as I know, there is no interworking test between a Galaxy S3 and a NuForce uDAC for the time being.

Re: USB audio?
Apparently "Galaxy S3 + (some) USB DAC" and "(some) computer + (some) USB DAC" have at least the same sound quality:
"How about the SQ of the S3 + NuForce Icon HDP? What headphones do you use?"
"It's quite good. Slightly, not very noticeable, better than it was connected to my computer.
So if you wanna know more about this, you can just simply refer to those review of HDP.
P.S. I am using HD600 & UM1 for testing"
"For anyone interested, the D12 USB DAC works when connected to a Galaxy S3. It sounds the same to me as it does when connected to a computer."

Re: USB audio?
Samsung Galaxy S3 & Objective DAC:
stock Galaxy S3 > digital audio stream >> ODAC (i.e. Epiphany Acoustics E-DAC) >> Neco V3
ODAC:
Neco V3:
ODAC + Neco V3:
"It is by far the best usb dac i have ever owned. No thoughts of bothering to look for an upgrade. At my age i am sure it will see me out.
Using it with a Neco Soundlab V3 and Grado SR-325is's.Nirvana at last...."
"ODAC + NECO V.3 + Sennheiser HD580 = A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN.
I can't tell you how beautiful this rig sounds. We all know how well the HD580/600 scales with better sources and amps.. but synergy is often undervalued. The ODAC is beautifully resolving and clean.. but the Neco really steals the show, IMO."
"It's downright disturbing how incredible this combo sounds with the HE-500. In fact, it should probably be illegal (**looks at Arizona**).
When driving the HE-500. I like this combo more than the O2."

Re: USB audio?
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.
"Go-Dap X releasing date in stores will be on Sep. 25th due to this Galaxy S3 modification."
stock Samsung Galaxy S3 > digital audio stream >> short USB OTG cable from VentureCraft >> Go-Dap X USB DAC/amp >> headphones
