Nexus 7 OTG - USB DAC Support - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am planning to buy a Nexus 7 as a source in my car. Would like to know if the Nexus 7 supports a USB DAC via OTG out of the box? If not, are there kernels that enable this function on the Nexus 7?
Cheers.

DAC audio is working!!!

HDMI out and OTG support?

So, I know it just came out today, but damn this device sounds amazingly superior.
So does anyone know if it has HDMI out or Micro-USB to HDMI out? Anything about OTG so we can use usb keyboards, mice, flash drives, etc?
I am seriously considering selling my iPods for this thing. I already have a Kindle Fire, but I might sell that too for this thing...

That is what i am thinking, since it is a nexus product the developers should be able to rape the nexus7 with alot of goodies.
If it does not have the innards to support it, MHL support might not be so easy to add in. I'm just hoping they're not holding back for the sake of Nexus Q sales. But I suspect, that may be exactly what is happening.
We'll see, I hope it has the support built right in.
USB keyboards, mice and "other devices" are supported.

Other things may be supported, however, Engadget has confirmed the Nexus 7 does not support MHL. It has no way to connect an HDMI cable and get video output to a TV/monitor. Ah yes, it appears they are holding back for sales of that Nexus Q...

Where in that article does it confirm no MHL support? They even suggest using an MHL adapter if you want HDMI out...
[Edit] I see at the very end of the post they updated. I missed it the first time[/Edit]

Question about MHL on Nexus 7 (again)

Ok, I have read the articles in regards to MHL not being supported on the Nexus 7. My question is if this is due to the hardware not supporting it or is it because the OS itself for the Nexus 7 does not include the modules needed to support MHL on the Nexus 7. Anyone have any idea?
Hardware issue I think. You can't have read well!

Well, its not that I didn't read well, but most articles just say it does not support MHL. There is no clear answer in what I have read that clearly states whether it is due to hardware or software. They say OTG is not supported, but installing stick mount on a rooted nexus 7 gets around that. What about MHL? Is it because a chip is missing from the Nexus 7 so that's why it is not supported? If so, would it be possible to create a module that connects to the mini-usb or the 4 pogo plugs to add this functionality? If not, could there be driver like stick mount that enables this functionality?
It's a great device, but it would be nice if it did support MHL somehow.
From what I understand anything that can be done in hardware can be done in software

From what I understand anything that can be done in hardware can be done in software but slower, however maybe the signal that needs to be sent from the micro usb is not present currently, so if someone who knows about the internals were to write something it should be possible, I think if you can emulate a whole pc why not a mhl signal?

No mhl Support but shure you can use USB Otg on your Nexus 7.
Someday, hopefully sooner than later, there will be some wireless options available to do that type of thing. There are some demo videos showing those types of things and they are coming... wires are going away... right this sec, not avail yet.

[Q] Can I use a USB DAC with my Nexus 10?

I found this about doing it with the Nexus 7, I'm wondering if its possible to do with the Nexus 10... from here:
http://www.head-fi.org/t/627459/use-a-standard-usb-dac-with-a-nexus-7-step-by-step-guide
Can anyone with technical knowledge of the devices tell me if the same process would allow me to do it with my Nexus10? I'm thinking of buying a decent setup, a FiiO E07K and some new headphones. I'm just wondering if the process would work on my version of the Nexus.
Wow lots of views but no comments
