I have an H3 and can confirm that it works with Android via OTG, however I have not been able to to find a way to make it not draw charge from my phone (Galaxy S6) when in this configuration. This means the battery draw on my phone is huge and is essentially unusable. Whether this is the fault of the phone or the device I'm not sure since I don't have another AMP/DAC to try, nor another Android phone that supports OTG to try to troubleshoot with. Bluetooth on the H3 works well but the range is pitiful and you get a lot of garbled sound when the connection is less than perfect. Support through Shanling is very bad too, to a point I've given up trying to contact them.
All that said, my H3 works very well as a portable USB DAC/AMP from my laptop which was one of my main intended uses for it, so overall it's been a good purchase for me. I don't know that I could recommend it though unless these other issues are addressed on this new H3A version, which is information I can't seem to find anywhere.
