HiByFC3 USB c dac amp Portable dac Headphone Amplifier with MQA 8X DSD128 hi res Audio RGB Indicator Plug and Play for iOS Android Smartphones Laptop PC

I was searching for USB C to 3.5mm for some time. I ordered some cheaper DAC costing around £10-£15, but they didn't produce good sound. Then I found this one. So far I found that this DAC/Amp is a good choice and portable. The sound quality is great with my Sony Headphones. Great quality for an affordable price.

I use this with my Moondrop Starfield IEM's and Redmi Note 10 plus. When I do they go from great headphones - to the best headphones I've ever had. The difference is startling. Better sound stage, seperation, clarity, bass. I think this is a must have personally.There may be less difference apparent if you already have a phone with a great DAC or are coming from another decent headphone amp. I've tried headphone amps before, but never noticed much of a difference. Make sure you have high res audio turned on, and ideally music files in FLAC format.For comparison, with this amp plugged in - my Starfield's sound better than the Moondrop Blessing 2, Shure SE 425's and the Momentum 1's I've owned. Just shows that so much of the sound quality is to do with the phone's DAC.So good, I bought it twice (after losing the first one).

I've had several of the sub £10 DACs for my Android Tablet which work OK but seem to stop working after a few months. Somewhat dubiously I decided to try a more expensive one, hoping at least for longevity - I'll report later if that aspect is disappointing. I was surprised how much better the audio quality is, and not only through my decent headphones - Philips Fidelio X2HR (which I bought from Amazon as a return, and saved about £45) - but even more so through much cheaper headphones that I own.
