USB C to 3.5mm Adapter CX31993 Earbuds CX-PRO DAC Headphone Amp with 3.5mm Output Phone Compatible with iPhone 15 Pro Max Plus, Galaxy S23 Ultra, Pixel 7 iPad Android Windows

Great sound and no hiss even with sensitive IEMs, as far as cheap dongles go this seems really hard to beat.

Okay first off these little dongle Dacs aren't my favorite because of the stress it puts on the USB-C port, I prefer one that attaches itself to the device like the Syba Dac that snaps onto any device, but with that said this is the 5th Dac I've tried and so far the second best, sound quality is good, seems like it increases the highs and mids but not the bass and trust me I'm running all Dacs to a pair of SkullCandy Crusher Evo's so bass is what I'm looking for (try Eminems Despicable Freestyle, the bass makes my eardrums bleed, lol) especially with my LG V20 ESS Quad Dac 32bit, best with bass that I've come across and cheaper than half the Dacs available (can get a refurbished V20 for $60-$75), so with that said I've tried Realtek, Technics, Qualcomm, ESS and this Conexant chips and for the price well worth it if your looking for an inexpensive Dac/headphone amp, and yes I am a music junkie who listens to music all day every day so I spend alot of time with these Dacs and that's how I rank them, I'm gonna continue trying more out along the way and see how many different chips I can come across, will update if I get any more.

Definitely pushes on the brighter side but for the price and how well it seems to drive my dt770 pro's I'm very impressed. This isn't a basshead DAC, be forewarned about that. However if you listen to more treble heavy stuff I can't recommend this enough. For the price, build quality, and performance, you should skip that Fiio for now and try this. It is a great budget audiophile DAC/Adapter.

I don't claim to have "audiophile" ears, though I could notice a difference in the high frequency spectrum both with listening and via spectral analysis tests. Originally I bought this for an oscilloscope music project as it is "DC coupled", which essentially means it doesn't try to center a waveform if the sound file is not centered. My laptop also happens to have a terrible on-board DAC with harmonics in the 17KHz range, which I can still hear well enough for it to annoy me. This DAC has none of that nonsense and made a nice bonus for what was originally a project purchase.

Durability: Its not durable at all and very flimsy feeling. AUX plug side is made of metal but the USB-C is made of plastic but, the cable itself is the issue. It bends easily causing it to wear out quicker like this did in a month of repeated use. Only 4 days after the return period expired it stopped producing sound out of the right IEM. Connectivity: When they worked it had great audio quality. While watching youtube sometimes it would make my phone freak out and would start changing my volume and skipping videos so quickly it made you think you were using an auto clicker. It would only happen when I changed the orientation of my phone or whenever the cable was adjusted. I just had my phone replaced in February with a S25+ so it shouldn’t be an issue with the phone. I'm disappointed it only lasted this long. (I’ll try and update the review if I get a video of my phone freaking out).

Was told that my inline mic was improved greatly with this. It also powers/drives iems pretty good. Does not overheat and never crashed on me yet.

This is a fair value item. It delivers on performance. While it looks to be made well, I was disappointed that after just one year (almost to the day), it no longer works. The internal wires have come loose, so sound only plays out of the right speaker unless held at a very particular angle with a specific pressure. I'm even more disappointed because of how little stress the connector had been through. It stayed in one location for its lifetime and got used probably ~4 times a week. TL;DR: sounds good but broke after 1 year.

i've had problems with the connection of this device. i am using a dongle (that came with it) to plug into a usb-a port. i am not sure if this is the point of failure, but often times it seems like it's not connected firmly to the computer and thus not recognized until i wiggle it or unplug/re-plug it a few times. i am not sure where the point of failure is, but it's unreliable (at least with the unit i got).

Me gusta que casi no se calienta inclusive después de un uso moderado si lo comparo con un dac de mayor precio, arroja un buen sonido , bastante aceptable para ser un dac de entrada, la APK de UAPP lo reconoce inmediatamente y entrega un sonido mejor que el que da la entrada normal del celular.

otimo produto, aumenta e melhora muito a qualidade do som, eu uso tanto no celular como no Note e nos dois ficou fantastico o quanto melhora o som

Really incredible sound quality for the money and far better than the built in DAC on any of my devices. I have a dragonfly black ($170) [currently misplaced somehwere in the house.. hence ths order] and an AudioEngine D1 ($229). and besides the considerably higher headphone amp voltage output... there really isn't a dramatic different in sound quality.. none that my peasant untrained ears can pick up at least haha. $20 well spent! P.S. Headphones are Bowers Wilkins P7s (around 10 years old and still kicking ass)

Lo recomiendo 100% Es el mejor DAC que existe en este rango de precios, incluso supera a algunos que cuestan el triple.

Muito boa a qualidade do som. Mais do que suficientes para overheads como shp-9500.
