Hello everybody,
I am working for some time on a DAC/ADC HiFi Audio Moto Mod/Snap with the good and old headphone jack and capable of delivering DSD64 content without downsampling, for those who like me miss a good quality from Moto Z.
My campaign at Indiegogo is going to get launched in a couple of days and I appreciate your comments.
Please spread the news to your network.

SICK!! This is what was missing on the Moto Z :D If you do this and you use a decent chip, you just saved me 500$ from buying an X5 3rd gen. :) What is your intended target date for production?

@OrionTech any news on that kickstarter of yours?
Hello @karendar,
The project is on its way and the campaign is open at Indiegogo (HiFi Audio Moto Mod Snap for Moto Z phones), to help me raise funds to build it.
I am adjusting the integration of the early prototype with Android apps capable of integrating DACs. Which one do you use?
Also, been working with Arrow Electronics on the design.
And hope to have soon news from Motorola about the partnership to build it.
You can follow the updates via Indiegogo, Facebook or Twitter.

Thanks for the response. I saw your indiegogo a few days ago and have been following it, but there's another indiegogo that just opened up for another Hifi dac, so I got confused on who was who. Your indiegogo doesn't have any actual perks for a DAC as opposed to them, so I contributed 9$ to encourage you for the time being. :)

I'm currently using the Poweramp 3 alpha which does have DAC support and seems to work fine with a Fiio X5 in OTG mode on my Moto Z force... I haven't had many other apps to play around with though.

If you need any help/feedback, keep me posted! I'm eager to see if I can save myself from buying a Fiio X5 3rd gen with a solution like this :)

Thanks!
