Unironically, the Apple USB-C DAC is the best you can buy for that price. You’d have to go for something double or triple its price to get the same performance from any other dongle, specially at that size.

FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 days agoI mean if you’re buying the apple version sold on their website a 5x market value instead of an off brand one I kinda get it.

The off brand ones are noisy and sounds like shit, the apple one was worth the money over that shit.

It’s $10 and high quality? How much do you think you’re saving with a junk off brand one?
HeyJoe@lemmy.world 4 days ago
You got a point, and I looked on amazon. Most bundle 2 or 3 into one, and the price is around $10 with a few above and not many below. I did find a 2 pack for $5. so I guess 50% because that’s definitely the one I would buy.

And when it’s junk out of the box because random no-name Amazon cables are universally terrible?

Can confirm it is terrible. I bought one and both of them have terrible DAC artifact noises. Should have gone with the Apple one.
