Pros: This small USB-C dongle is rated at 112 mW into 32 ohms, enough for most headphones, and has hardware volume buttons with 30 steps plus a display. Audio Science Review measured a SINAD of 101 dB, clean for nearly all listening.
Cons: There is only a 3.5 mm output with no balanced jack, so balanced cables need an adapter or a different device. Its 101 dB SINAD sits below most DAC and amp combos, and the Lavaudio DS400 rates higher.
