  is it possible to have a functional connection between the mini usb of note4 to the spdif input of a dac? Are there connectors available off the shelf?

Yes dependent really if your phone supports USB audio output , but almost sure note 4 does .  I posted one option  in the audio sources section ..

[JoeyGS]

jambam is right ..... first is to know if note 4 supports digital signal output via its mini usb port.  Then you will need a USB to SPDIF converter (similar to my iFi Audio iLink) that will serve as the converter and connect to your DAC's SPDIF inputs.

How is the hifiberry compared to usb output (no experience, I assume this can be done) of stand alone raspberry? I'm thinking of setting up a roon bridge using hifiberry but i'm thinking maybe it'll be fine with usb output?

Question for RPI users. If I have an external DAC and I connect it to the USB of the RPI, will it work?

Will I have any problems with software drivers?

can't compare the diff with my current system setup. may be in a more expensive british system you can discern easily..

compared with my marantz.. less darker ang music..

maybe when I upgrade for linear power supply.. baka may mkita difference..

I need to test more music pra maexplore ko current rpi setup ko s chain ko..

It will work most of the time,what OS are you using? im using volumio and havent encountered any problems with USB DAC,even my diy DAC is detected.

It's an AKM based DAC that I built, I think the USB interface uses an XMOS chip.

Planning to get a RPI, been reading on the volumio and it seems to be the right path to go.
