Ah. I Have a USB-C to USB-A adaptor floating about somewhere.
You'll need to make sure it's an OTG adaptor/cable. The phone will not act as a host unless it receives a signal that is provided by the extra pin in the OTG adaptor/cable. You'll know whether or not it's working as an non OTG adaptor/cable won't won't connect the phone to the DAC.Ah. I Have a USB-C to USB-A adaptor floating about somewhere.

Did they arrive and have you get it working?Update:
I took up Bigjacko's offer on the hd6xx's and I'm loving them! Mint.
Also got some takstar hf580's
Ordered topping l30/e30
Now I just have to sort out my source machine.
Looks great. Really like the listening station. Happy listening.Yes and yes.
Got it running, Need to finish up my listening station but it's looking good. Whisky is a bonus.
Why do you want to be bound to a desk and tethered to a wall outlet?I have been lurking for the last few weeks (So glad I found a science based audio community) with the view to setting up a satisfying desktop setup. My original thoughts were to go for something as neutral as possible so I could use my initial setup as a benchmark of sorts as I grow into the hobby. Might just get something that sounds great though. Lowish budget but might be able to spread the costs over time.
I currently have a set of Sennheiser Momentum 1's and an Audiolab M-Dac Nano
My initial thoughts are as follows.
Sennhieser HD599 (2nd hand) around $250NZD
Akg k7xx (2nd had) $300NZD
Sennheiser HD6xx $336NZD plus shipping plus tax. Prob $420NZD
Grado RS1i (2nd had) possibly $500NZD
JDS Atom Amp $250NZD
Schiit Heresy $280NZD
JDS El Amp (Love that big knob) $500NZD
JDS Element ii (Love that big knob) $700NZD
Thoughts much appreciated.
Some of us don't need to move around.Why do you want to be bound to a desk and tethered to a wall outlet?
That’s what true wireless is for. I can’t handle cables if I’m on the move. I’m also generally not really listening, at least not in the same way as when I take time to really enjoy the music.Why do you want to be bound to a desk and tethered to a wall outlet?
Maybe you misunderstood me. I don't mean listening while moving around or on-the-go. What I mean is that you listen, while stationary, wherever you want in the home or|and outside the home (e.g. a café, the library, your summer cottage, a hotel room while away from home).Some of us don't need to move around.
