In Reply to: RE: Samsung S7 to Onkyo 9010 Amp Connection Upgrade? posted by daeth57 on October 01, 2020 at 17:20:04
My experience with a Samsung S7 is that the DAC is fair but not top.
I established this by comparing it with my Benchmark DAC1 using the same IEM.
If you want to improve, a USB DAC is the way.
You might also try a USB to SPDIF converter if you want to use the DAC of your Onkyo.
An alternative is a LG mobile.
Some models do have a very good (quad) DAC.

Are these usb to spdif converters a cable interconnect or a box that the signal runs thru? The phone has the headphone jack 3.5mm and the mini usb for the charger. What are examples of what your talking about?
Thanks for your response!
The 3.5 jack is the analog out.
Recent Android supports USB audio over the USB C
As most DACs en converters are still USB A, you need a OTG cable ( C > A) to get it to work.
A list (a bit dated) of converters:

You might as well settle for a DAC, you can get good USB DACs at a very decent price today

Thanks for the great info..
Does this look like what I need? It has the same XMOS XU208 Digital Interface and it can take connect the two ends via micro usb cable.
That is all you need indeed
