RE: Android Powered USB DAC...Game Changer?

I have the phone connected directly to a USB DAC using an OTG cable which allows the phone to host the DAC. Storage is currently limited to the capacity of the phone memory which falls short of my FLAC collection of 200GB. I'm probably going to try a powered USB hub and add a USB hard drive to the mix. May pull back if SQ changes and I expect to run into problems with music apps actually seeing the contents of the hard drive, not dropping etc.

The exact device and OS version does not seem to matter. The sound is identical on my Galaxy S6 and LG tablet. The S6 just got Marshmallow and the tablet has Lollipop. The USB DAC is a Hot Audio DAC WOW. Not all that high end I know, but not what I am testing here.
