The portable USB DAC must be able to receive digital input through
the micro-USB's OTG.
Audio output may vary widely depending on the digital input specs
of the portable USB DAC used. This is not a defect in the device
output and not a reason for exchange or refund.
When using DoP as a DSD output type, no sound may be outputted
except noise depending on the portable USB DAC.
