Can I Use a Fiio a17k amp/dac through my LG phone
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has experience utilizing a Fiio a17k Alpen amp/dac,and have it operating simutanously on an android phone(e.g. LG Stylo 3 Plus)? I am awaiting in the mail a Fiio e17k amp/dac to connect to my android phone,and than throufh a pair of headphones.I sampled a pair of Beyerdynamic Custom Pros,over a pair of Sennheiser Momentum Wireless Over The Ear 2.0.I connected the Beyerdynamic's straight through my LG and although I took an immedeate shine over them in comparision to the Sennheisers,I got the impression I could more "Bang For My Buck",(Sound wise that is),if I add a seperate amp/dac to the mix.Allthough the Beyerdynamics have a low impedance of 16 ohms,and are easy to drive,I just figured it would make sense that a better amp than the LG,such as the Fiio e17k Alpen would just tighten everything up as there would be more headroom,plus cleaner signals.I also said to myself that if I also combine a better dac I could improve on the overall sonic portrait.Of course,this Fiio's main intention was to be used on desktop or laptop,Ive been reading that It can be used on on cellular as well! If this is true,is their a specific way to connect the e17k to my LG?(e.g. Micro usb to Micro usb),and/or possibly a USB otg mico usb to female usb? Do I have to adjust certain settings on the Fiio,(such as disabling charging mode)?.Can I use a line out from e17k to headphone in on my Android? Plus,do I connect my headphones to via the Fiio e17k?The people at Fiio said to basically "Keep Things Simple" and go for the Fiio Q1 mk 2.But I got such a great deal on the e17k Alpen it was just too good to pass up!
Any input on the "How To" concerning the Fiio e17k Alpen on an android phone,would be highly welcome.
