Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

Just wondering if it's quite common for Android based USB audio to have issues with noise/connection?
I have a XIAOMI phone which has automatic USB audio routing - but compatibility is always ??? Seems you need 2.0 firmware to have it "work with some Android devices." works with all iOS , but Android needs a known compatibility listing.
Worse case fallback i can get a male type C to male 3.5mm cable ;-;
The only issues were: 1) Xiaomi 3s, sometimes needed to reboot the phone to get OTG USB Audio out, and OTG broke after the phone got wet. 2) Moto X-Force, similarly sometimes need to reboot the phone to get OTG USB Audio out. 3) Moto X4, OTG USB Audio constantly drains the battery 6%+ per hour -- absolute shit phone for music, and the glass back is bullshit.
I've read sporadic reports on various models of phones (OnePlus, Samsung) that have OTG issues, but it's hard to tell if they were using a proper|decent OTG cable. I think in general most phones support the spec correctly, and buzzing|static usually goes away with a cable replacement.
