I know for a fact that you can connect to a DAC and charge simultaneously.

I use the Sony UDA-1 daily at work to play music, and it charges the phone too.

I'm also on the search for a portable (or in car) solution to DAC and charge.

I'll even settle for an Phone -> OTG -> DAC option.

I've tried the Jellas Portable USB Type-C HUB and the Archeer equivalent (which claimed it worked for the Nexus 6p) with no success.

:confused:

This will likely be what I try next:http://www.amazon.com/HRT-iStreamer-12V-Streamer-improved-iDevice/dp/B00HWMAFLI
[Nexus 6P Accessories] butler360:
Everyone said charging while using a DAC with my G2 was impossible, then I got a OTG y-cable and it worked just fine. The same cable doesn't work with a USB-C adapter, though, on the 6P.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Gorillapond:
I've been planning to use this DAC ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KW2YEI ) since it's USB bus powered. I think this DAC, plus the AOA hub I linked above might work, but I'm not sure and I don't want to spend $60+ without knowing if it will charge!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Win_Wizard:
I have this one http://www.amazon.com/Fiio-E17K-ALP...qid=1454292714&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=fio+e17k and it charges by default (i have to shut charging off) and the usb audio works great.

Hello everybody, i was wondering if with a usb splitter it would be possible to use dac on 1 side and play songs stored on a usb stick on the other side of splitter/hub.. Anyone has right gear to try?? Thank you

Finally a USB-OTG adapter that works with my Zorloo Z:ero earbuds.

This one works:

http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B018G6IK7E?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

Don't use a charging cable with it, headphones, DAC, SD readers, etc.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] wwwpuntoit:
Anyone??
[Nexus 6P Accessories] foolie:
I'd feel you most likely need more power to drive both the stick and DAC. I'm also uncertain if the phone can support dual OTG
[Nexus 6P Accessories] wwwpuntoit:
That would be bad news l wish i could try this before spending cash ?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] DeathmonkeyGTX:
For automotive use I've been getting around this problem in several cars between m8 gpe and 6p. It was kind of expensive but if your car is a pain to install an aftermarket radio in well then just upgrade the speakers, get an amplifier(s) and a DSP like the Mosconi 4to6 or 6to8. It wires inline between the stock CD player and the amplifiers, works very well. Also looks like a perfectly stock radio unless you don't have a trunk or some other way to hide a sub box and amps. 3.5mm analog out to the factory radio, works great except no avrcp or steering wheel controls.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ninetysix:
One does not shell out for a mosconi DSP and then only feed it with the onboard DAC of any phone :p

I'm using a $7 PCM2704 USB spdif card from my 6P to my minidsp c-dsp 6x8 and the results are great. You can also wire the analogue rca from a factory or aftermarket headunit (or even use speaker level inputs if your factory head unit doesn't have rcas) and use different profiles on the remote to switch between them.

I think anybody with even a little interest in car audio should get a DSP though, opens up a world of possibilities and makes it much easier to use cheaper (and often vastly superior) HiFi drivers that don't come with passive crossovers. Spdif is just the icing on the cake, much easier to avoid noise in the system, including ground loops
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Has anyone considered LG's G5 DAC? I know it supports Type-C PC's and devices so it should work for the 6P without any issues via a C-C cable.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Bri81:
Could this solution support charging the phone while playing audio through the usb???
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ninetysix:
Nope
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ninetysix:
Just to elaborate on my previous reply...

Don't let the fact that you can't charge at the same time stop you from getting good audio. Yes it would be awesome to charge at the same time, and if a custom kernel comes out that allows that I'll be all over it... But really it's not that bad, on the drive in to work in the morning starting with a full battery, USB spdif card connected streaming tidal HiFi and maps navigation running in the background it typically uses 9% for a 45 minute commute.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Bri81:
I guess my issue is more this:

Using the Sony UDA-1 desktop DAC/amp, I can charge the phone and stream music through the front USB jack. It supports up to a 48k/16b stream (which is plenty good enough for me, for casual listening). However, this requires mains voltage, and is too large for automotive applications. I use this all day/every day with no problem.

I tried the GROM USB-3 interface, which would work great (charging and streaming), but then it would cut off after 10 minutes or so.

I then tried the iSimple gateway, but I can't get it to stream at all through USB. I can get the bluetooth working, but the quality seems to be lacking.

I'm tempted to try the HRT iStreamer with hopes that it will work with Android.

Also, I might change out the entire head unit, but I really like the clean OEM look.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ninetysix:
That's one of the best things about DSPs, they integrate well with OEM head units and allow you to switch between speaker level inputs (or RCAs if it has them) and say spdif or a different set of RCAs from a phone with USB audio.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] chaco81:

Did you find it hard to insert the micro b plug into it???
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tech_head:
Not really
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mk69:
I'm in no way an "audiophile" but doesn't the n6p have a built in dac/amp already pushing 24bit/96k??? I think I read that on gsm arena somewhere in the breakdown of it's spec... Thus getting an USB dac with better specs than 24bit/96k the only better option? Or is there more to the equation that I have to learn about...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] butler360:
I don't know what the specs are on the 6P, but the bit depth and such aren't the whole story. If the DAC conversion within the 6P isn't so good the specs don't matter. And I can say for certain even my cheapo USB DAC sounds way better and louder than the headphone jack on the 6P.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] SpiritBreak3r:
It's not just about the bits it's pushing, it's the power. It's a real bummer, got a fiio e18 for the meanwhile, sounds way better.

This is the best portable DAC I've used in all my cars since May 2014: http://www.amazon.com/HiFiMeDIY-And...00FJSEAZ4/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8. Before my LG G4 decided to give me trouble with the infamous bootloops (the laggiest phone I've ever owned in my life), I had amazing results with this DAC. With the new Nexus 6p I got a few days ago, I was hoping my Anker adapters would be able to utilize this, but they had no DAC compatibility. I ordered the one you guys recommended by Meenova Store: http://www.amazon.com/Type-C-MicroU...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00. Thank you for that. Trust me, this thing really increases the volume, bass, and clarity remarkably well for such a tiny device. All you need are good 3.5mm cables to connect from your aux port to the DAC. This is the one I've been using since 2014, and it's been nothing but quality for me: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-...1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage. Glad to see other audio enthusiasts in this thread. :):good:

I read some issues in the questions sections for my DAC with Android 6.0 hiccup, but I'll be test it out and report my findings.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
I was using a FiiO K1 just fine via a MicroUSB-C cable, but I decided to get the E17K Alpen 2 becusse the FiiO K1 didn't work with my S7 Edge only my Nexus. I want a more versatile DAC/AMP, so hopefully this one will work as well as I'm hoping.

This is a great little cable that I bought for my DAC, it works well and is really well made:

Is there anything like the bmw usb y cable that I can use in my car? Basically power and audio through the type c port? Maneuvering the phone is a pain in the *** when you have a power cable and aux cable either end of the phone. Would be so much easier to handle with one connection.

[MENTION=4312039]Win_Wizard[/MENTION], I'm sorry, I read the whole thread and I am not sure I understand what you are saying here. Everybody else is stating that it's not possible to charge while at the same time using an external DAC. Unless I'm mistaken you are saying you're doing exactly that. Mind expanding on this? Connections, exact setup, etc.

Thank you.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jr67:
[MENTION=4312039]Win_Wizard[/MENTION] is not talking about the phone charging. What he's saying is that the Fiio E17K charges whenever you plug it into the phone regardless of what USB setting you use on the phone. I have the Fiio E17K myself and the only way to stop it from drawing power from the phone is to turn off the USB charging setting on the DAC. One of the reasons I got the E17K (instead of the K1, for example) was because I wanted a DAC that had its own battery rather than drawing power from the phone.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] gorman42:
Thanks for the clarification. I personally ended up using a bluetooth adapter (considering now Android is using the high quality SBC version) and, for car use... it's good enough. I certainly miss the iBolt USB-AUX cable solution, though.

Hi, I'm using Audioquest Dragonfly 1.2, and my N6P is on Nougat, no root.

I'm experiencing low volume with the DAC, the system volume is already set to MAX. I'm using Rocket Player, never tried USB Audio Player Pro before.

I usually using the DAC with my PC, the volume can be very loud. This is the first time i tried using the DAC with Android. I'm connecting the DAC with Tronsmart OTG cable.

Please help.

Nexus 6P - killer app driving in-car DAC demand!

Having just switched from the Note 7 (Sob, i never thought I could fall that deeply in love with a piece of technology :( #ripnote7 ), to the Nexus 6P, I totally understand this ask. The audio quality that I am able to produce on my excelent JBL system in my Tundra is pitiful coming from the headphone jack on this Nexus 6P. The culprit is their use of an on-chip DAC, instead of adding a dedicated DAC to convert digital to analog, for output over the 3.5mm jack.

The answer? Bluetooth receiver bypasses the phone's DAC, but this is a lossy technology and may not please many audiophiles.

Better answer? An in-car DAC that uses the USB Type-C port on the Nexus 6P, and uses your car's USB power (we can all buy cigarette lighter to USB adapters, its not the 90's anymore) to BOTH:

1. Power the DAC

2. Charge your phone

Is this even possible? to get audio output from the USB Type-C and charge the phone at the same time? I don't know the answer to that, but just having a USB powered DAC with USB Type-C input and 3.5mm output would be sufficient for me, even if though they forgot to include wireless charging on these Nexus wonders.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Bri81:
Yes. It IS possible. I just don't know of any portable solutions.

I use a Sony UDA-1 daily to charge while playing music through a single USB.

Unfortunately, it's a desktop unit that runs off of mains voltage.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] moogaloo:
I have read someone has managed to use a USB-C Power Delivery Hub (Plugable) a 27W PD Car Charger (Belkin), a USB DAC (Unknown) plugged into the Hub all hooked up to his Google Pixel XL. Apparently charges at 18W (2A/9V) and sound comes out of the DAC. The DAC is also powered through the hub.

What I would like to see is a USB-C accessories that offer PD power passthough. Particularly DACs so you could just add a USB-C PD DAC to the end of charging cable and job done. I have no doubt that these will be here at some point, but please can someone make one of these now?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] butler360:
Got a link or any details on what devices?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pondy:
Did anyone find a solution to this? I've just bought another car which doesnt support bluetooth streaming, but has an aux port. I'm trying to find a "one cable solution" for charging and DAC to AUX/3.5mm.

I'd rather not get a bluetooth to 3.5mm adaptor as the car supports bluetooth for phone calls - I dont believe I can have the car connected to two devices at the same time (if that makes sense).
[Nexus 6P Accessories] butler360:
Up until a few weeks ago I had found close to a perfect solution (at least for me), which was connecting a Chromecast Audio to my phone's hotspot. That way I could charge and play high-quality music at the same time. A recent Google Play Services update seems to have killed that option. :(
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bo0gietrain:
I have been searching for a solution and it still seems like there's nothing. So i bought a JUH660 and some Snowkids adapters. They should be arriving shortly, will report back.

Are there any other android AOA hubs out there?

EDIT: Just tested it and... no go.

On a Note 4, my USB DAC worked in OTG mode, but not AOA mode.

On my Nexus 6P with Snowkids usb C to micro B female adapter, it does not work at all, in any mode with any USB devices - not sure if this is a problem with the particular adapter I have or a problem going from USB C to USB Micro B (and retaining OTG/AOA features) in general.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ossito2012:
Go to Amazon and look for 2 otg cables, one by IXCC and another by CableCreations (angled connector) , I tried both when I was running Nethunter on my 6P. I was able to use these to run wireless USB adapter. These are not y-cabke but these same companies make one that will allow you to charge and use your DAC. I had other otg cables and they do not work. These two companies were the only ones I found that worked in OTG mode with 6P.

I ended up buying the Razer adapter, and while the quality of the DAC isn't top notch, it is a huge improvement over the standard 3.5mm headphone jack... However I'm having an issue so far (and quite honestly it's a deal breaker), there is noticeable audio skipping while connected via this method.

Please help, I tried to install and it failed, so I did a fastboot oem boot and now the phone works, but I cannot enter recovery, is there anything I can do. I am at a loss, whenever I restart the phone, I have to fastboot oem boot or it will stay stuck in 4 exclamations

I flashed the lboot from that zipfile available at , but now I also cannot enter boot loader.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nervana1:
Ok, I was able to fix all that, by reflashing the RUU again and was able to get it working and successful. Doing the OEM boot removed my twrp recovery, which I had to reflash, and also formatted my sd card.

This was stressful as hell and learned a ton about this phone. The learning experience was worth it, but the stress was not =/

EDIT: WIFI DOES NOT AUTHENTICATE
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nervana1:
For those stuck with my problem these are the steps I did.

I reflashed the newer RUU and once everything was peachy, I did a factory reset, that seemed to have fixed everything that was going on with my phone. I then added twrp recovery and reflashed my rom of choice. And that was the end of a very stressful night lol.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
All the four corner triangle thing means is that it didn't flash the last RUU mode zip completely that was attempted. The phone is still in ruu mode with four triangles. You can simply flash the RUU mode version of TWRP and it will clear the four triangles.

The CDMA version of this phone(XT1548) is elusive. You cannot order it from motorola.com as it is not even an option. Their customer service directed me to Verizon which is annoying since they do not carry it. Looking at the specs on Droid Life, I tried each carrier site listed for this version. US Cellular is the only company to offer it but they WILL NOT ship it unless your billing address is in one of their tiny coverage cities and in my case it is not even available in my state. Who has this phone and where can you buy it? I want it! Please help if you know, thanks.:confused:

Sprint and Sprint MVNOs still do not have any stock or information on their websites yet. Sprint employees don't have any information.

To add to this sad news, I noticed that only the 8GB/1GB factory firmware has been posted here which leads me to believe there might not be a 16GB/2GB model available when it does go on sale. :( I guess we're just going to have to settle for what we can get.

EDIT: On the bright side there are many happy customers with the 8GB/1GB model.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_You:
As of today for the Sprint network...

Virgin Mobile (USA) has the XT1548 listed on their site for $149. Will require a year of service before being released. Unlimited data plan is available.

Neither Boost Mobile or Ting have the XT1548 available.

thanks so much, just wish they had a 2gb/16gb CDMA model available, but it looks like they did that on purpose. If there was a teardown available for this 3rd gen moto g then I would be tempted to attempt to swap the motherboard and ram from the 2gb gsm model to the 1gb CDMA one. I doubt it would be that easy, but I can always hope...
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legendaryoneman:
Why?

Why do you think they did it on purpose?
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divinemyth99:
RAM on phones is soldered down and very small, so you probably won't be moving it from one motherboard to the other. The motherboard also contains the baseband, so putting a GSM motherboard in your CDMA phone would just give you a GSM phone with mismatched antennas.

I'm curious if the CDMA version only has 1GB/8GB to save space on the motherboard for CDMA radio components. I thought this was basically all handled in the Snapdragon SoC, but maybe CDMA requires more components on the motherboard and that's why these other specs suffered? More likely, though, it's just that the CDMA carriers wanted a cheaper price point for the device/higher profit margin at launch.
