[Q] Use android device as a USB sound card or DAC/amp?

[widezu69]

The sound card on my laptop is ageing and was not very good to begin with but the one in my phone is great. Is there a USB (not wireless) solution for my PC to detect my phone as a sound card and have the DAC in my phone process the digital audio signal and for me to listen through my phone's headphone jack?

Basically is there a solution that allows me to use my phone as an external usb headphone DAC/amp?

I've done some googling but not found any viable solution yet.

The first one I found that works is WiFiAudio, which you can get to work over USB by enabling USB Networking.
You have to run software on the PC (I tested from Windows 10). Don't know if there's Mac software but I'll be wanting it as well.
