Is this compatible with PC & Android phone? i.e. both DAC and amplifier function works with PC USB output & android phone mini-USB through software?

No. The Fostex HP-P1 only works with iDevices. This is what is written in its specifications, and it is also my experience as a HP-P1 owner.

Hi Paula, The Sony SRS-A3 external PC speakers is using a headphone stereo mini jack. If your android phone supports this type of jack, then you may connect it on your phone. Vincent

I have a PA or personal amp it does not have a usb. ( the USB is like the turn on switch of the Bluetooth ) but I have a 1200 mah small battery pack that I use to charge my phone when I am out the house and I used this now on the Bluetooth now may PA amp is Bluetooth operated. If you don't have a input 3.5mm I think on your stereo that will be a problem.

It will work with Android USB audio, but I've experienced inconsistent results. I have multiple Android devices & with some devices the sound is oddly distorted, while others worked perfectly. I decided to get an HRT microstreamer for portable use w/my Android devices (as it seems to work well with all I have) and now only use the Emotiva with a PC.

The amp does not have a USB input. It has dual, switchable RCA inputs. If you wanted to hook it up to your computer, you would need a 1/8 stereo to dual RCA cable or a DAC.

Nope. As dmdmba said: the DAC part of the amp plugs into your computer's or digital audio player's USB port to get its input, and puts out an analog signal.

I own this. The V90 is a much better delivery platform for USB and Digital. It is a true DAC. It was also added to the Sterophile List of recommended components.

I use it with digital audio out (to amplifier) don't know if it works with analog audio out

On Android seems to only be phone audio by default. However there is an app called 'bluetooth mono' that allows you to output music to it.

This cable allows certain phones to output their stereo audio via their micro-USB port to a standard 3.5mm headset jack. If your speakers or amplifier are compatible with a 3.5mm headset/headphone jack, they should work fine.

It's fantastic for headphones when used as a USB DAC on a pc. it's small and light and can charge off USB. From a sound quality point of view having it outside of the pc case as apposed to typical internal sound card avoids a lot of sources of noise. I'm very pleased with its sound quality output and I use it at my office for music listening with great results. The dual headphone outputs allow me to attach a pair of logitech ultimate ears, and a cheap set of speakers and swap between the two. I also it in my car with my Note 3 via an otg cable into my stereo aux. I'd say it's worth it especially because you'll have that versatility later if you want it.

I agree with Robert, just want to add that for inputting to a PC, your PC needs an audio line-in port. A mic port will not do. If your PC doesn't have a line-in port, then you can use audio line-in to USB adapter and input to the PC via a USB port. I use a Griffin 7725 IUAI - this lets me input an analog audio signal from my amp to my PC's USB port.

I am not sure, but I think only compatible as an amp and not a dac with iPhone. May want to call and confirm before ordering.

You can use it as a DAC for your PC or laptop even a tablet if it has the optical in or you can use it via the usb cable too. You can also connect it to a receiver that has an optical port too. Check irivers website too they got all the specs up there.

The A/D cable does not work in both directions - the signal flow must be *from* the audio end *to* the USB end. That means you can not play out through your USB jack using this cable. You will need a D/A box to play out from your USB port to your speakers, and probably an amp as well (unless your speakers are powered). You can find these little guys branded as external USB sound cards, typically for under $50. Some of the nicer ones have gain and processing controls, but most will have an 1/8" TRS jack rather than RCA or full size phono jacks. When you go looking for a solution, remember to consider all the connections you'll have to make as well as power considerations.
