Whats the best ROM for USB audio to work flawlessly. My nexus 7 needs to be nothing but the head unit of my car hooked up to my fiio e10 USB DAC which will go to the amps of my car. Usb audio isn't working yet. Link me to the best ROM and kernel to do this please?
outputs
Is there such a thing? I thought that the nexus 7 had no outputs of any kind..

You need an otg cable. The only way it works is if I reboot the tablet with the otg hooked up to my Fiio E10 USB DAC. Ifni unplug the otg then my tablet freezes every time. It does that with my USB flash drive as well. I can't even access files on my flash drive. It sees the drive but it shows no files at all.
Bump. I need usb hot plug.

Heads up to all the audio guys out there. Listening to music as I type through my USB DAC > tube amp setup with no special setup. Just USB OTG cable to DAC.
USB Audio Out FTMFW!!!!!
(I'm on AT&T model running ARHD 9.1, not that it matters, I'm sure this feature is universal)
USB OTG to DAC? Do you have an link or pic to such cable?

Just a regular USB OTG connected through the USB cable that comes with the DAC
I have my HTC one with headphone jack to rca cables going into my tube preamp the foreplay. Then from the foreplay to my Dynaco ST70.
YouTube videos sound like garbage bags flapping in the wind.
The tube audio only people would smash my face in if they heard what YouTube sounded like on tubes. Not a good mix at all...

Yep, just a run of the mill standard usb OTG cable and then plug the usb cable from your DAC into it and your good. You'll get the headphone symbology in the status bar and the beats logo although beats appears to be bypassed (which is good) utilizing usb audio out.

Is that version 1.29? I have a T-mobile HTC One with 1.27 and USB DAC wouldn't work with FiiO E7 or JH-3a.
4.3 Update broke the USB audio out session disconnect
I've got the Sprint variant. Loaded the OTA update to 4.3 and now my USB audio gets hung when I disconnect my OTG cable. If I try to plug it in and reconnect later, my handset locks up tighter than Fort Knox. I've tried a factory reset, took a trip to the Sprint repair center (where no one even knew the audio out function existed ) so I'm stuck rebooting my phone between every listening session. Complete PITA. Specifically purchased this phone to use with my Fiio Andes, and everything was great until 4.3.
Does this significantly effect battery life?
I've read that 4.1 allows USB audio output, for example at http://www.head-fi.org/t/616118/android-4-1-finally-usb-audio .
Can anyone tell me exactly what I need to do to get my lovely DAC / headphone amp taking a USB feed from the I337? For one thing, can the I337 be the USB host, or do I need some sort of OTG cable?
The DAC has a mini-B plug.

You need USB OTG cable.
Check on Ebay or you can make one yourself. just google - how to make your own USB OTG cable
Been reading tons of threads about replacing my stock head unit with a Nexus 7.
Couple of things I can't seem to figure out.
1. I have a 2003 Toyota sequoia with JBL. I have a wiring harness adapter that will connect to the sound system (I think there is an existing stock amp). I want to use the micro USB to charge and for audio, and I ordered the splitter cable for that. Can I connect that directly to my existing amp or do I need a USB DAC?
2. My plan is to mount the Nexus in the dash, so that it is not removeable. Should I run a USB connection through a hub for doing updates?
3. Is it better to use a 2012 or 2013 model?
I plan to use it for music, GPS (probably waze), and as BT connection for my phone.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
Someone suggested this:
"you normally can't connect a USB DAC to the tablet and charge the tablet at the same time through the same microUSB port"
Does that sound right?

Well, that somebody was wrong. My setup, thanks to Timur, charges my N7 and powers the DAC no problem.
I also would like to know. I read that someone used blisspop along with an additional kernel, but I cannot seem to find any install files for blisspop nexus 7 grouper.
hey,
normally you would need an otg cable to drive an external usb dac.
does it make a difference, that this phone has no headphone jack
and therefore has standard audio output over usb or do i still need
an otg cable?
best regards, willert.

if only using an USB-C to 3,5mm adapter you don´t but for any DAC you need an OTG AdapterCable.
just for reference i use this one and it works perfectly:
http://hifimediy.com/DACs/ready-made-dacs/Sabre-9018-Type-C-DAC
thanks for your answer!
but are usb-c to 3.5 adapters basically dac's?
although they then probably also just use an otg cable
this is the one i am planning to use with me pro 3 when it arrives: http://www.head-fi.org/products/cozoy-aegis-portable-24-192-dac-amp
Hi guys,
I intend to use an old s7 edge in car with a USB DAC (Mini USB DAC signstek audio -- PCM2704). I plug into the car.
Since this DAC requires a power source from the phone, it works and audio comes out, but now I have no way to charge the phone.
I am so confused with all these issues with cables and hubs. I saw Nexus 7 had a special timur usb host kernel rom or something...
What's the bottom line... how can I power the phone and the DAC at the same time and have the DAC plugged to the phone?
Are there roms I can use or special modifications whatever, what cable/hub? Please let me know.
I'm ready to root this phone and install a custom rom, but want to use it for this purpose
Instead just buy a cheap fast wireless charger.

It's either USB-OTG or charging, you can't have both as hardware limitation (and i don't think any phone has that capability), unless you wireless charge
then how do those guys with the nexus 7 charge and have a dac at the same time with a Y cable?
i have nexus 7 with Y cable, but it works on some rons with enabled charging. thats why usb cable had many pins
