Ok so now that our Xperias support hi-res audio - can anyone think of a way to use them as DAC. What i mean is not connect the phone via usb to a DAC - i mean connect the pc to the phone and use the phone as audio converter.
Thanks
Nope, it can't be possible, I think.

I got the standard headset which comes with the HTC Kaiser. I now want to plug it into my PC and use also the microphone. Since its a mini USB device I would need a converter. I searched google and came over ordinary mini usb to usb converters.
Question: Did anybody do this already and did the microphone work?
Bump! Anyone?
Did you already find an driver for it.
It's a usb-device.
I would say give it a try.
Better buy for the money an microfoon. Hope you've great soundcard, so it will filter the background noise. You shouldn't hear your echo.
the usb port in most htc devices is not normal usb which is just a digital serial interface
but is extUSB which also carry audio IO
no pc have extUSB so it can't get access to the audio part
but a client server software running on both the pc and the pda
would be able to what you want
if anybody made it I can't tell
how about this?

you'll need the reverse thing of that =)
What are my choices for connecting my phone to any given car stereo?
Here's what I'm pretty sure works:
AUX (3,5mm minijack directly to the player, have to switch songs on the phone)
Bluetooth A2DP (uses more battery, can I switch songs on the player? Not sure)
Here's what I'm wondering if works:
Can the phone imitate a USB memory stick in any way? I'm guessing not (without root atleast).
Purchase accessory: FM transmitter (does this exist?)
Any other methods I forgot?
Wondering about this because I want to use my phone (with Spotify) in the car.
check this out it will answer most of your questions

some one already asked that before, but to satisfy your own questions...
1. yes if your Deck supports it
2. best option if your Deck supports it, no problem with power if you have a 2Amp (2000mAh) car charger
i'm using this one

1. yes, if you set your phone as a mass storage device, and if your Deck supports it
2. Yes, but sound quality is bad
3. Yes, it depends on your Deck abilities.
Thanks mate. I will consider that charger.
Edit: If I use USB in mass storage mode, I can obviously only play local files. If I use A2DP, can I use spotify? Not sure how that works.
Can I hook up an usb dac to the nexus player? I want to connect the nexus player through a quality USB DAC to my amplifier (which only has analog stereo inputs).
Currently I have a chromecast and use the headphone out jack of my TV to feed the amplifier, but this is less then ideal.
Would something like this do the job?

Yes, it might do the job. However, i read in the reviews that HMDI audio extractors can cause troubles with video sync and HDCP. Also, I want one with good audio quality. Most HDMI extractors are not reviewed by HIFI magazines.
So a good quality HDMI pass-through DAC reviewed by HIFI people start at $250,-, they are more expensive then their USB only counterparts of similar quality.
USB DACs are way more common. I can get a better quality USB DAC for $150,- (the ODAC by nwavguy)
I read that android 5.0 supports USB dacs (at least on mobile phones). Since the nexus player also has android 5.0, it should hopefully also support an USB DAC.
I'd like to do the same with my Icon Nuforce Dac, so I'm interested in the answer as well. thank you for the question.
Just an FYI that I am using an HDMI audio extractor with a Chromecast on a secondary TV. The TV (Sony) and receiver (Onkyo) are both 4 or 5 years old and were lower end units. Neither had pass-thru which was making me crazy until I figured out the problem (why no audio from the Chromecast)
I picked up one of the J-River (?) Extractors on Amazon. Reviews were mixed so I wasn't expecting much, but it works perfect. I plug the Chromecast into the extractor and run HDMI video and optical audio to my receiver. I've experienced no issues at all with audio out of sync and the sound is very good.
I am not an audiophile & not sure if this will help with your DAC question, but since I had good luck with splitting my audio/video via an extractor, I thought I'd mention it just in case.
I read that latest version of Android operating system for mobile (Lollipop) supports usb DACs.
Can we expect the operating system of the Android TV to support it as well?
Just got a USB headphone DAC/amp (Monolith THX portable) and it works, kinda. I can hear the system sound letting me know it's plugged in, can also hear videos, youtube, and game audio; but as soon as I try to play a music file it goes mute. Only thing I've found so far that works is using MX Player and forcing it to SW decoding, though that's not exactly my ideal music app. Any idea what's going on here?
You need USB 3.0 for Audio through USB.
Since Mi 9T/Redmi K20 already had 3.5mm Aux jack, the USB port is a 2.0 port as audio is the primary reason for USB 3.0.
So, there's no support for Audio through USB on the HW level itself.
Don't know if this relevant to your question or not, but I use Topping NX4 DSD portable Dac/amp and it works out of the box, and DSD Capable when using HiBy music app. Try to use HiBy music player and use it's exclusive USB driver. If not, buy UAPP (USB Audio Pro Player) or test the trial first to know if it work or not. Using dac/amp on android is a bit gambling as some works as simple as plugged in and some need driver provided from those app (like UAPP for instance).
Hello i want to listen to my phone audio on my headphones that is connected to the PC. i used to do this with a 3.5 mm jack from the phone to the PC's line-In socket and then in sounds setting on the PC set the line in to listen to this device. is there anyway to do this with the USBC since i have a note 20 ultra now. i have used the app sound wire it has too much latency. u can also transmit the phone audio to the pc when dex is active but even that has too much latency.
maybe i need to buy a converter or something but even that has its down side that u cant charge and listen to the phone as the same time.
idk what to do.
OMG TY this is great. just tried it and i cant see any delay. i had a Bluetooth USB adapter lying around too.
btw i have also bought the 2 in 1 wire to charge and listen but its not working at all. i had bought a simple one for 6 Euros but i think you need one that comes with a DAC or something and it cost around 25 euros.
anyway TY again.
I use the Moshi usb dac. It'll charge the phone and output audio via 3.5mm port. https://www.moshi.com/en/product/usb-c-to-digital-audio-adapter-with-charging-adapter-ipad-pro/silver
nvm found 2in1 converter i wonder will it really charge at the same time.
If you're on Windows 10 version 2004 and have Bluetooth you can use the Bluetooth Audio Receiver app to play audio to Windows over Bluetooth https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/bluetooth-audio-receiver/9n9wclwdqs5j?activetab=pivot:overviewtab
I use this often and it works great, no noticeable latency during my use
