5. Operation with iPad and Android-based tablets
iPad also supports USB Audio Class 2.0. This means that it is possible to connect the
hiFace DAC to an iPad through the latter’s camera kit, which exports a high speed host
USB port. The limited supply current required by the hiFace DAC makes it possible to
power it even by the reduced current capabilities provided by the iPad.
Once the hiFace DAC is connected, the iPad automatically set it as default output device.
Android tablets may potentially use the hiFace DAC, provided they have a 2.0 or 1.1 USB
host port capable of at least 100mA output current and ALSA or any other audio
management module compliant with USB Audio Class 2.0. Please refer to the tablet’s
specification chart.
