I want to connect my NW-A55 to my Marantz ND8006's USB-B input because for some insane reason you can't scrub using the HEOS app when playing files from an external drive connected to the USB-A input. Using my DAP as a transport would let me listen to my digital music collection through my stereo with the ability to control playback.
I know there's a Sony cable for this (WMC-NWH10), but it's unacceptably expensive for my needs and since I don't know if my DAP and external DAC will be compatible.
Is there any reason I wouldn't be able to just use the same cable I use for charging and data transfer (WMPORT to USB-A) with a female USB-A to male USB-B adapter like this? If the charging cable lacks some special digital-out magic, I also found a cheaper cable that looks very similar to the WMC-NWH10 and a straight WMPORT to USB-B cable but I haven't seen anyone vouch for them.
Anyone have experience with any of the configurations I'm considering?
