Hi,
I tried to search for a thread that answers my exact question, but didn't. Forgive me if I didn't search well enough.
I have an LG G8, which has its own capable dac, but I want to output my Tidal and Qobuz music to my stand alone dacs, before sending them to my amp. One dac has a usb A input, and the other one (Modi) has a micro (?) usb input.
What I'm tryingto avoid is plugging in either of the dacs with a power supply. I'm assuming that if the usb c goes out from the phone to the dacs, that they will power up. Again, I'm assuming. I need the cables to test that.
I further assume that this will drain the phone battery a lot faster, which is fine. I don't listen to music for hours on end. And as mentioned, either dac has a separate way of powering them. I'm just trying to avoid using them.
Will this setup work? I could do a 3.5mm to dual single ended rca to feed the amp from the phone, and use it's internal dac, but I would like to use the other ones. I run UAPP with headphones all the time, and the LG dac is very capable.
thanks for any clarity.
