PS. To answer your question directly, yes it should work fine. And it may even sound better than your computer. I currently am using a Wyred 4 Sound bLink which is a digital reclocker for SPIDF (optical/RCA) outputs and it also has blue tooth that I use to stream from my tablet and phone. And I have to say it sounds fantastic! Im hoping that a direct wired connection will be even better. My LG V30 handles hi res streaming so should sound great. You may just be surprised. Good luck!
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!
