Wich usb-dac ???

[dermuggi]

Hi
iam looking 4 a ...maybe cheap...usb-dac for the minix.
I want to have full 192khz Sound to send IT to the DAC to my Pioneer vsx 921.
So minix->dac->Pioneer.

Is it possible ?i know there is a Limitation to 44.1 or 48 kHz....so i want the minix to send the Sound to DAC so the whole stuff ..192khz maybe ...Will be send to my
pioneer.

Ive searched the whole web....Lot of stuff......but no advice wich DAC to use
Thx in advance

You can ask on libreelec forum

I know that with librelec its possible to get full 192 kHz buti want Android because i want to use many Apps.
so pls only Android.

And ist it possible to get librelec minix?
link maybe?
But usb-dac is the choice i prefer

Hmmm...
Usb dac support is kernel based...
So, kernel needs usb host enabled.. and usb dac needs to be usb host compatible
* some apps can bypass the kernel issue as the have there own driver like UAPP , neutron , hf player (but driver only works with the specific app )

See:
http://www.extreamsd.com/index.php/t...b-audio-driver

However most usbdacs have headphone Jack's (dual audio ) (not 5.1 audio like optical cable )
while the sound can be really great... im wondering what's your goal?

Note:
Yes..i can confirm that libreelec has good support for usbdacs
(Under kodi select output usbdac..select best, variable or lock bit rate )

note2
Head-fi.org has a few big topics on using USBdacs on Android devices

Cool thx for the reply.
ive got Neutron
Ok...its ok for me to Connect maybe the DAC with optical or spdif to my Pioneer.
So :
Minix->otg-->usbdac->optical/spdif->>192khz->Pioneer.

Thats what i want.
2.0 is ok for me.

I want to know wich USB DAC ist compatibilty with minix x7.
Maybe someone Tested it before and give me a advice.
cheap one would be nice.
And yes i know librelec Support Very nice usb-dac but i want to stay on android.
Thx for replys in advance

I think you need coaxial for that...maybe I'm wrong

[dermuggi]

Y that?minix x8 + uh9 ->its possible to use usb-dac there at the osg ...and the Layout ist the Same...
someone in earth must have tried to use DAC in minixx7 xD

[bajann]

Minix x7 is old device- rk base. u can't install libreelec-u can't use USB DAC( drivers etc).

Correct...
the link ( I gave ) states rk3188 does not support usbhost (however lollipop might work)
Sadly, libreelec is limited to x86 and amlogic

But the X7 has optical/spdif out (I read )
So, why not :
Android --> optical --> pioneer
Most apps will be limited to 44khz
but kodi using pass through might be able to bypass limit (and 5.1/Dolby)
