[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pappy97:
Sure UAPP works, but Nexus 5 doesn't have enough storage for someone's whole catalog of high bit-rate flacs. With full USB audio support (like via CM or CM based rom), you can use other apps, e.g., I combine full USB audio with Tonido which streams my flac at full original bitrate to my phone (I keep my flacs on my home PC and use the free Tonido server software for PC) and have the sound come out of the Tonido app via USB audio. There are other similar apps too.

So on my phone I use cRoid Build 17, which is CM with modifications, and my USB audio works just fine, listening to it right now as I type this. I don't use cRoid Build 18 since it (and CM) has had a recent issue with ART support.

USB Audio on Stock Nexus 5

FWIW, I plugged in a USB DAC to my stock Nexus 5, rebooted, and everything works just fine. I didn't see anyone reporting the same thing in this thread so I thought I'd share my experience.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeder:
Which USB DAC did you use? And did you try without rebooting?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pappy97:
If so, you are the first person to have working USB audio on a stock Nexus 5 (without using an app like UAPP). Anyone else with stock care to corroborate? Many times when it comes to USB audio, you'll get a report of someone getting it to work, but nobody else can replicate it. Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JRNex:
It is a homemade near-reference implementation of a TI PCM270xC, a common all-in-one USB DAC. It won't work without rebooting. Upon further investigation, I even have to disconnect the USB DAC, then reboot again to regain normal audio output.

Cyanogenmod 11 to the rescue

So, much like everyone else, I assumed my Nexus 5 would work with USB audio out - I mean my wife's Galaxy S3 did and so do the new Motorola phones, so why not the 5? And, much like everyone else, I was sorely disappointed not only that it didn't work, but that the amp in the phone is so weak it could barely power any sets of headphones.

I too didn't want to buy an app only to be able to play my music through that one app - I use Spotify, listen to FLACs, had Mog, etc. One app just wasn't going to do it.

So, to the point. After reading on here, I thought I'd give Cyanogenmod 11 a shot. I don't know whether I got a nightly or what because I simply used the installer from their site. It was an extremely simple process and I couldn't be happier at the moment. I installed CM11 over the weekend and mostly have my phone back to normal. Here's the good stuff:

1. I can confirm that with the Fiio E18 portable DAC/Amp that it's working perfectly with my Nexus 5 using the cables that came with the E18 and I don't have to do any rebooting to get it to work

2. It's working with the Beyerdynamic A200p portable DAC/Amp

3. I don't have to restart the phone after disconnecting/reconnecting the DAC

4. Works with Spotify, Amazon MP3 and music on the device.

So...long story short, I'll be sticking with CM11. It adds some nice features on top of stock KitKat. Google Now works exactly as it did, and I can say "OK Google" and it still works. Plus, I have a nice flashlight (torch app) that came stock and there's some additional niceties.

If you're looking to get some good sound out of your Nexus 5, I highly recommend CM11. As mentioned, using with the Beyerdynamic A200p, and the Fiio E18 paired with my HiFiMan HE-500's - absolutely fantastic. Couldn't be happier. Huge kudos to the Cyanogenmod team for doing what Google should have done out of the box.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allenerb:
Yeah, there's only been minor annoyances with CM11 - 1. The camera never seems to work from the lock screen. I can deal with it for the tradeoff of having superb audio. And the other thing is that the interface doesn't seem to be quite as fast as stock kit-kat. Not slow by any means, but just not 100% as smooth. Again, minor annoyance.

I'm still sticking with CM11! :)

24bit/96khz support on N5 and USB DACs?

I was finally able to get CM11 snapshot M5 on my N5 and I can confirm that USB audio works fine with my E17 but only at 16bit/44.1khz.

Even when I play 24bit/96khz content, the E17 seems to be receiving the audio down-sampled to 16bit/44.1khz. I used PowerAMP for playback and could not find any option to explicitly enable 24bit/96khz.

Would appreciate if someone can confirm if they have been able to get 24bit/96khz delivered to their USB DACs on the N5? If so would appreciate the details on that.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggabriele3:
I was using a CM Nightly from slightly before M5 came out - I didn't test it with high-res audio but it did work well with my E17.

I ended up going back to stock, though - I can't really tolerate the random bugs you get with a work-in-progress operating system. Occasionally my phone would just randomly reboot, and for no apparent reason, Poweramp would not work with iSyncr on CM. At one point my phone just shut down while I was typing an email, and went into a boot loop that I couldn't get it out of. So I'm off custom ROMs for now.

It's a shame that USB Audio can't be enabled by messing with the Audio_policy and Mixer_paths files.

VANIR 4.4.2 Nightlies USB Audio Works

Update - Actually the rom is completely Hot-Plug. Happy Flashing.

Like the title says I have partial hotplug USB audio functionality on the nightly VANIR 4.4.2 official for Hammerhead. I on a whim just decided to try my older FiiO E10 right now and it worked without additional configuring or kernel tweaking. After I get finished enjoying some music on TuneIn and Spotify I will unplug it and see if it borks the normal audio and requires a restart.

I can confirm that this solution, when applied to the latest N5 Paranoid Android build, works just fine via my Leckerton USB DAC & Poweramp. If using Poweramp, be sure to increase buffering time to 250 ms to avoid skipping.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pappy97:
The ONLY way to get 24/96 out of your phone is with the USB Audio Player Pro app. I finally plunked down to pay for it. For my 16 bit flacs, I use other software. But for my 24/96 files, I put them on my N5 and listen via UAPP to get 24/96 playback.

The limitation that Android (other than UAPP) will only spit out 16 bit is something you shouldn't count on being fixed any time soon. As has been discussed here, we are waiting and still waiting just to get full native USB audio support from android/aosp. The 16 bit limitation probably never gets fixed, forcing you to UAPP, which for the N5, means loading a certain number of songs/albums into local storage because UAPP does not support any sort of streaming from a server and of course, the N5 has limited local storage.

It sure does. It supports up to 32/384 (and all rates lower than that)! (Check it out on google play store. It completely bypasses the Android audio system, which is why it is the only way to get better than 16 bit out of a USB dac connected to an android phone.

A Nexus 5 running on Android L can work with an AudioQuest DragonFly USB DAC/amp:

http://www.head-fi.org/t/595071/android-phones-and-usb-dacs/4995#post_10666723

16bit/44.1kHz music file > Nexus 5 running on Android L >> 16bit/44.1kHz PCM stream >> AudioQuest DragonFly USB DAC/amp >> IEM or headphones

As most current USB audio implementations can only output 16/48 PCM stream due to the limitation of the legacy Android audio subsystem, the sound quality of the native USB audio of Android L should be improved, because the output streams are not resampling (16/44.1 => 16/44.1 and not 16/44.1 => 16/48) as with USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP) including its own USB audio soft-driver, the current best sound quality music player to my ears:

16bit/44.1kHz music file > Sony Xperia from Docomo using UAPP >> 16bit/44.1kHz PCM stream >> AudioQuest DragonFly USB DAC/amp >> IEM

working on carbon nightly with elementalx!

I'm running the latest Carbon nightly, with Elementalx kernel. Just for fun I plugged my USB dac in. It's a DAC destroyer I bought from ebay, based on a Burr-Brown chip. Plugged it in, hit play in Google music, and couldn't hear any sound from my speaker. Connected headphones to the dac and low and behold, it worked. Disconnected it and sound magically appeared out of my phone speaker again.

I'm not convinced that some kind of transcoding isn't happening, though. I played a 24/96 flac through my dac, which can't handle more than 16/44. But it works. Can't remember off the top of my head what kernel options I enabled, not sure if it matters.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramjet73:
You might want to revise your first answer a bit since the Nexus 5 does support USB audio out at a hardware level and Google announced at I/O support for USB audio in L. I'm running the L preview and it works fine, as do flash and hard drives connected via an OTG adapter as long as the right drivers are loaded (such as Paragon for NTFS) and the drive is mounted using a tool like StickMount. Additional drivers are not required for FAT and FAT32 formatted drives and with CM11 installed the additional mount tool is not needed.

Video and audio out via SlimPort to HDMI also work fine for me, and work best when you use the official SlimPort adapter from Analogix. That is the company that helped develop the specifications for SlimPort.

Did you quote this from somewhere else or are these your own questions and answers? I suggest soliciting other user's experiences with these items in the future before giving generalized answers based on your own experience.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] nchopp:
Intro: I'm kinda tough on my electronics, so when I bought the 2013 Nexus 7, I knew I needed a case for when I'm out in the field. It was a good call.

Description: The Poetic GraphGrip Case is a pretty standard case made out of some type of rubber\silicone compound. It has overlay buttons for volume and power, one cutout for the 1\8" microphone port, one cutout for the top speaker, one cutout for the camera, one cutout for the Micro USB port, and two cutouts for the bottom speaker. It extends approximately 1\8" above the surface of the screen, so you can safely lay the tablet face down.

Pros:

Size\Material - It adds a good deal of protection without making the device terribly bulky. I was afraid the rubber would attract lint\etc., but it really isn't too bad, and is very easy to wipe clean.

Protection - I had the Nexus 7 out at the National Training Center in Fort Irwin, CA - as hostile an environment as you can find in the continental US. Between this and a good screen protector, the Nexus 7 came back looking just as new as when it left.

Buttons - the buttons are easier to press with it on than it is without, but not so easy as to be accidentally activated.

Cutouts - all are perfect. The Micro USB and headphone ports are easy to access, the camera cutout is the perfect size, and the speakers are not interfered with.

Cons:

QI - it's thick enough to slow down wireless charging. If I'm going to have the Nexus 7 playing music over Bluetooth for hours at a time, the wireless charger isn't able to keep up. Without the case, it keeps up just fine.

Summary: Great case. I didn't experience the smell other people did - it didn't smell like anything when it arrived. All in all I'm very satisfied.
