Alright I'm still working through this. I found out that we need what's called an "O.T.G usb cable" stands for "On The Go". Its different than just an adapter cable. I just ordered one this morning after doing some more research. I tried using my $150. Audioquest Carbon usb C to male usb B adapter cable but it doesn't work. Now I have to return it. Just ordered a cheap OTG adapter cable form Amazon. Will see if I can make that work before trying to find a better quality cable. My Wyred 4 Sound Recovery came today also. I'm really hoping I can make this work. I have not heard of anyone else trying this so it's an experiment for me. Stay tuned.
Schiit Modi 3 with Google Pixel 3
Good evening to you all. I have just purchased a Schiit Modi 3 to add to my system. I do stream most of my music using Tidal and was seeking to improve the quality with this outboard DAC. My Parasound preamp does not have a built-in DAC. Sadly my music source (laptop) just died. I'm now trying to figure out how to stream Tidal from my Pixel 3. It's my only option right now. I've tried going directly from the USB-c port on my phone to the micro USB on the Schiit Modi but it comes through with very distorted sound. I have used the dongle as that only allows a headphone jack output and I don't think there's a cable for 3.50 headphone to micro USB. I'm unclear whether or not I can go directly out of the USB-c on my phone directly to the Modi or if the phones built-in DAC is interfering with the Modi..??? Or something else perhaps. Thank you in advance!
