USB-C Dongle DACs
Ranked #2 of 26 in USB-C Dongle DACs - E1DA 9039S: $139.00 Linsoul $139.00 eBay
Pros: Audio Science Review measured a SINAD of 125 dB, so its noise and distortion are inaudible, even with sensitive in-ears. E1DA rates it at 400 mW into 32 ohms balanced, enough for most headphones from a 10 g USB-C dongle with dual ES9039Q2M chips.
Cons: Its only headphone output is a 2.5 mm balanced jack, so most headphones need an adapter or a new cable. The FiiO KA15 rates higher with more balanced power for less.

Discontinued E1DA Models
Still ranked, and often still worth buying used, but no longer in production. Check availability before planning around one of these.
USB-C Dongle DACs
Ranked #10 of 26 in USB-C Dongle DACs - E1DA 9038D Discontinued eBay
Pros: Audio Science Review measured a SINAD of 111 dB, clean enough for nearly all listening. E1DA rates it at 180 mW into 32 ohms, which drives most headphones, not just in ear monitors, from a tiny 12 g body.
Cons: It is no longer sold new, and it offers only a 3.5 mm output with no balanced jack. The Fosi Audio DS2 rates clearly higher, measures cleaner at 117 dB and adds a balanced output.
