Topic: ADI-2 DAC FS USB input

I have a library of flac files on a 500gb portable hard drive (flash memory, no power supply).

Would I be able to plug this drive into the usb input and access these files? If so, how would I navigate the folders and select songs?

Portable hard drive into ADI-2 into headphones

ADI-2 has no options to access files.
You need a host, like a PC or streamer, for that purpose.

Have a look here for some suggestions:

Re: ADI-2 DAC FS USB input

You can connect an iphone, ipad or an android device to your ADI-2 DAC fs. I use Android and Neutron player. This way you can have a large library and still bypass the laptop. I think maybe you can set this up to access HD via some adapters or just transfer favourites to some microSD cards.
