Apologies for hijacking a previous post regarding playing backing tracks. A "sound guy" friend turned me on to a possible USB Interface that would connect from my android tablet to my Boze L1. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_838USBCDAC/Astell-Kern-USB-C-Dual-DAC-Cable.html?tp=59282This would be used instead of coming out of the headphone jack directly into the Boze. It looks like a good portable solution.

While this may be superior quality to the onboard headphone jack in your tablet, I don’t like the solution because the output of this is still a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Those jacks can break, and even worse, give noise if jostled. Nothing like giving your audience the amplified version of that.
I suggest using a different input on the Bose. Get something that goes from USB on your tablet into TRS on the Bose.

Thanks guys for the input.
90 db, your solution was my first thought. However, the Peavey's output is 2 XLR's. The only free inputs into the Boze are either 1/8 inch, RCA, or 1/4 inch. My XLR input on the Boze is currently in use. I guess I could go into a small mixture and then the Boze, but I'd like to keep things on stage as simple as possible.

No experience with the Peavey unit. Experience with 2 different PreSonus audio interfaces. I use Extremesd's Audio Evolution Mobile DAW for Android. Runs great on my Samsung S10+. Also ran great on my old S7. Not expensive. Available from the Play Store. In your case, take a look at their USB Audio Player PRO and their USB high quality audio driver for Android. You'll need to buy a USB Audio Host OTG cable. That turns the Android device into the Master. I would highly recommend checking out PreSonus AudioBox USB 96 interface ($99.95 on Amazon). It comes with Studio One Artist v5 which now includes support for 3rd party VSTs (a $100 value). It's a really high quality interface that has been tested and verified to work. The USB Audio Player PRO and driver should cost you around $20 via the Play Store. USB Audio Player PRO USB Audio Driver PreSonus AudioBox USB 96 AudioBox USB 96 on Amazon OTG cable example Good luck. Make music! EDIT: Note that you'll probably need a powered USB hub, since most small audio interfaces are bus-powered.

What did I miss? Peavey?
Could you please restate what is the output device, what is the input device, and what are the possible connections to each? Thanks.

Out is an android tablet (USB) into a Boze L1. Input choices on the Boze are either 1/8 inch, RCA, or 1/4 inch.

I have an XLR to 1/4 inch adapter.
90 db, what type of USB cable would you recommend from the tablet to the Peavey.
Really appreciate all your help.

Frank it isn't just making the innies and outies shake hands. There are issues of data speeds involved. Even finding some weird adapter is not going to replace the data stream speeds of a USB port. My suggestion is that you head to Dell, find a laptop in your budget, and not look back to the days of jury rigging. You don't need a ton of computing power and piles of RAM to play back music files. Check this one out 300 bucks.

Those jacks can break, and even worse, give noise if jostled. Nothing like giving your audience the amplified version of that. 2000 watts of CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH anytime you move something is not something anyone wants to hear. I agree that 3.5mm jacks have no business in stage equipment. I would still recommend the same item i did in the other thread. USB input with two balanced XLR outputs, can be run in Stereo or Mono. $50 bucks. The Peavey unit looks like a solid suggestion. Haven't used it myself, but it at least looks durable enough for stage use. I would grab a couple XLR to RCA cables to connect it to the Bose. Alternately, I use a Behringer UCA202 for similar purposes, though it's not what I'd call "stage-tough".

Whatever you decide, don’t use the 1/8” input on the Bose.

Hey 90 db. It looks like I going to need a USB B (Peavey) to USB C (tablet) cable. I'll check Amazon.
Thanks

Still likely that you'll need an OTG cable. You can try it without one first. If it doesn't work, then buy the OTG cable. You may also need a powered USB hub if the Peavey is bus-powered.

Thanks for everyone's input.
Looks like I'm going to go with the Peavey. USB from tablet to the unit and then XLR (mono) to 1/4 inch adapter in the Boze.
Per the specs power is provided by the USB connection.

A Look Back... Band-in-a-Box® 2015 NAMM Demonstration #TBT
Watch Tobin (and Charlie!) demonstrate Band-in-a-Box® 2015 for Windows at the 2015 NAMM Show: Play video...
Tobin does a great job of showing just how easy it is to create a song with Band-in-a-Box!
This video was posted on January 23, 2015 to the Keyboard Instrument Chops and Gear YouTube Channel.
Enhance Your Band-in-a-Box® 2021 for Windows Installation
Ordering Your Band-in-a-Box® is Easy!
When you order any PG Music products directly from www.pgmusic.com (or www.bandinabox.com) you'll receive immediate links to start downloading your order! Even if you choose to have a backup copy of your Band-in-a-Box® packages shipped, you'll still have the download links available to you - no need to wait!
We've made it even easier to get started with Band-in-a-Box® with the Easy Payment Plan 4 - when you choose this payment option you'll pay four equal monthly payments starting on the day of your order.
Choose your Band-in-a-Box® for Windows package & order here.
Using Mac? Order here.
When you get to the checkout, simply click on Select Easy Payment Plan 4 for this product to apply this option.
Note: This only applies to this Band-in-a-Box product, and does not apply to other products that you might have in your order, including the physical backup copy if selected.
Band-in-a-Box® File Associations
You may have noticed when you were installing Band-in-a-Box® for Windows that you were asked if you would like to Associate Band-in-a-Box songs and styles with Band-in-a-Box? But, what does that mean?
It's actually pretty simple - basically, if you select this option while you're installing the program, files with the extensions .SGU, .MGU, and other Band-in-a-Box files will open directly in the program if you select them from outside the program.
Missed this option during your setup, but you'd like to apply it now? Go to File | File Utilities | Associate File types with Explorer within the program.

Do you use RealBand (included in all Band-in-a-Box® for Windows purchases)? Download the latest free update, which resolves a small viewing issue for Windows 11 users.
When you download the latest update for RealBand 2021, it will add all the updates we've made this year. See the full list here.
Ear Training Games in Band-in-a-Box® for Windows
October 1, 2021 is National Kids Music Day!
Head to the Practice Window in Band-in-a-Box® for Windows, and you'll see fun games that are fun ear training options for kids: Music Replay & Pitch Invasion.
Of course, you don't have to be a kid to like these games, I think there a fun way to learn at any age!
Music Replay is just what it sounds like - the program plays a 1-bar melody, and the user plays it back. Get it right, and you'll keep building that melody (and skill) within the game - get it wrong, and you'll be met with a warning tone and have to try again... it's quite addictive, and a lot of fun!
If you like a classic arcade game, then you'll love Pitch Invasion! We've managed to incorporate aliens with pitch-recognition skills in this exciting game, where you'll match the pitch of the alien ship descending towards your planet trying to destroy your collection of instruments - match the pitch and you've saved your instruments, make a mistake and the ship keeps coming... you'll have a few tries to get it right, if you're quick, but if all your instruments are destroyed - it's game over! The game speeds up as your skills improve, and you'll earn points along the way, with bonus points available throughout the game.
Open up your Band-in-a-Box® for Windows today to give it a try!
These ear training games are also included in Musical Arcade for Windows.
