External DAC with the Note 7

[demoleon]

I am trying to use my OPPO HA-2 external DAC with the note 7 and am having issues. First I tried the usb-c adapters that came with the phone and could not get any sound out of the dac. Then I purchased a short Monoprice cable (micro-usb to usb-c) and it worked...sound from the dac. But then I noticed that the phone was charging the dac which I obviously don't want. Not matter what I select on the usb pull-down menu it always switches back to "Charging external device". There is a usb configuration option in the developer options menu that I changed to Audio source but when I plugged in my dac is immediately went back to "charging external device" and the developer options was changed back to charging. So any ideas? My previous phone was a Nexus 6P with usb-c and I had no issues. I e-mailed OPPO but they don't want to get into suggesting any specific cables or adapters. Any ideas?

Thanks,
John

my experience with my (Dragonfly) DAC: i had to get USB Audio Player in the Play Store to get the DAC to work. :fingers-crossed:
