Make sure you have the right USB input selected on the DAC and try running the DAC’s output to the Hegel and see if it works. Best of luck.
How to connect my Cell Phone to my DAC?!?!
Hello,
i have been told it is possible to connect my cell phone directly to my DAC and play music from the phone, but can't figure it out. :( DAC is showing "44Khz" message so it KNOWS that something is connected to it, but it never plays any music. I am using an "Audio USB" cable from a DJ supply company. The same phone and same cable work fine going into my Hegel Amp (internal DAC) but no sound comes through when trying to use EXTERNAL DAC. The item in question is the SMSL SU9n. I cant find any email contact at SMSL. i wonder if anyone here would know how to troubleshoot this problem. Thank you for your comments.

@rop45 Congrats man. My advice — Apple’s introducing their iPhone 14, and after that arrives go to their website and search for a unlocked, refurbed iPhone 11 that’s a great phone and you can probably get at a huge discount now that it’s a few generations old. I’ve bought all my family’s iPhones and iPads this way over the past 8 years or so and they’ve all arrived as new and have worked perfectly, and I’ve saved thousands of $$$. I’m still using an iPhone 6 I bought this way and still works fine, but I’ll likely now upgrade to a refurbed 11 for the larger screen and faster processor for about what I paid for the iPhone 6 many years ago. Just my $0.02 FWIW. |
@mahler123 makes a good point about compatibility. Maybe your DAC just recognizes Spotify as an inferior source, which it is, and just refuses to play it, heh heh. Seriously though, do a free trial of Qobuz (if available where you are) and see if that works, and if it does you’ll have even better sound. Again, best of luck. |
