My Audiocular CX Pro CS46L41 is not compatible with my CMF Phone 1. Ordered a Fiio KA11. 🤞🤞. Will update.

I’m having problems with my new CMF Phone 1. My external DAC dongle - Audiocular CX Pro CS46L41, doesn’t work with my new CMF phone 1. Apparently this device has compatibility issues with many USB dongle DACs and this is a common problem. This is a big setback considering the lack of 3.5mm socket.

Now I’m an audiophile and a gamer as well. So a wired setup is extremely important for me. I need active dongles only and the One Plus passive USB to 3.5mm dongle/adapter will not work for me for various reasons.

What is the cause for this incompatibility? Is it the USB standard or is CMF / Nothing trying to force their wireless earbuds to customers? Also, (asking out of curiosity) do passive dongles (no DAC chip inside) like the one from One Plus work on this device?

Help needed - Can anyone recommend an external DAC dongle that works with this device please. I’m at the brink of returning or selling my 1 week old device due to this unwanted headache.

I’m using portronics type-c to 3.5mm DAC and it works fine with my phone 2a.

Why not give it a shot maybe🤷

DeerendraKumarK I have the Basesailor Type C to 3.5 mm jack for my CMF but with my IEM (KZ EDX Pro), I hear a hissing sound, do you hear the same in yours. Then I switched to OnePlus one and it works just fine.

May be you can switch usb compatibility on in Android 14. It will most probably work.

KA11 works. Am on it. Heard the KZ A01 works too.

yethuck I’m using a Hidizs DH80S DAC/AMP and I have absolutely no issues. It plays bit perfect in Tidal and sound quality is good.

It wouldn’t hurt to get just a little bit more volume but that’s fine because my DAC has more than enough gain for my Sennheiser HD 400S or any Hidizs IEMs I own.

Can I use AUDIOCULAR – D10 CX31993 Type C to 3.5mm Portable DAC Dongle for my nothing phone 2a for my KZ IEM?

Or if you guys having any suggestions please give but my budget is under 1k.

Thank you

I’m currently using portronics type-c to 3.5 mm converter so there is no problem with it but often I notice a thing where the music plays normally and suddenly the audio is cut but the music was still playing in the app. I have to restart the app to make it work smoothly.

That is why I thought there might be a problem with my DAC.

The apple USB C headphone adapter has a dac and amp in it and works on my 2a. It’s a bit quiet though so needs a bit of a boost. USB Audio Player does the trick.

This was posted on head fi about the nothing phone 2a not working with the Cayin RU6.

Post in thread ‘Cayin RU6: R-2R USB Dongle DAC with Head-Amp’ https://www.head-fi.org/threads/cayin-ru6-r-2r-usb-dongle-dac-with-head-amp.960113/post-18296918

Can this be resolved?

I’m looking forward to buying a Nothing phone, but as an RU6 user, the makes me have doubts.

Thanks

EDIT:

Wow… my comment has just been merged here and I’m shocked to see how many DAC issues have been reported.

As someone who has invested a lot in different dac/amps for my headphones and iems this would be a real deal breaker.

My plan is to wait for Nothing’s next flagship release to upgrade my phone. I want to support this business if I can.

Hopefully these issues will be resolved by then given the major updates that are promised.

In the meantime I’ll sit tight. My sympathies to everyone else who have already taken the leap and encountered all these issues.

crow21 I have the exact same DAC. The iFi GO Link with the Nothing Phone 2A is a nightmare when I hook it up. I was worried I went deaf two times when I hooked it on. Gladly I’m fine. Scary stuff. Your workaround works for now, thank you. But this isn’t ideal in the long run.

NOTHING, please do something about this problem ASAP.
