These DAC's are known not to work with the Lollipop on a nexus 7 for stereo sound, and actually output mono instead
I also have had issues with thumb drives. They work for a while, and then they become corrupted and need to be formatted and have the data recopied to it
If I may butt in with a question I've had about Nexus setups for a while...
If you do a Nexus install, are you still able to play music from your phone using the Aux connection? Or does that become taken up by the Nexus? Could you splice two connectors onto the Aux cable?
Or, could you connect your phone to the nexus via Bluetooth and play music that way?
Just curious cos I'm trying to decide if I want to go the Nexus route or get a double din head unit instead.
Cheers
I'm investigating a new DAC now. Once i get confirmation it works properly, i'll post a link
Just a thought - it may be possible that the Nexus will not recognize devices over a certain storage capacity.
I'm not sure if there are any limitations on the nexus, although I know that even though the Samsung Galaxy S8 can take a microSD card it will only work with cards up to 200gb. And if I remember correctly the S7 maxed out at 64 or 128gb.

Funnily enough, I actually seem to have gotten the damn thing working!
I connected it to a Linux box I have here and fully formatted the thing (full wipe, re-format as FAT). Connected it to the N7 and it could "see" it, without un/re-mounting all the time. Hmmm...
Re-connected it to the Linux box, and copied the music across (~160Gb). Again, the tablet had no issues seeing it in ES File explorer Pro. Couldn't quite get VLC to see it, though. Slept on it, and this morning powered the tablet up. Launched VLC, and pointed the media directory at /sdcard/usbstorage, and now VLC is sitting there busily parsing the SSD, and building a music library for us.
I'll put the whole lot back into the car today and see what happens then...
