Then get the two (O2 and ODAC) separate, it will cost the same, and get you what you want.

I believe you can use any usb class 1 device, like an ODAC with the usb on-the-go "otg" protocol, but you usually have to root your phone to enable it.  I think my galaxy nexus is old enough I can try rooting it now.  I'll give it a whirl this weekend and see what happens.

Do you hear that everyone?  he's going to root his own phone for the greater good of the forum.

Well, I got it to work without rooting it.  As luck would have it, my stock firmware already supports usb audio, but neither audio player I was using supported usb playback, which is the other missing link besides an OTG cable.  The other major issue is POWER which my phone obviously doesn't have enough.  So you need a powered usb hub as well, which makes using it with my phone infeasible.  Now a Note 3 on the other hand...
