NK1 Max
The NiceHCK NK1 Max is a compact ~20 USD USB-C dongle DAC/amp that surprised me with how solid it feels and how good the technicalities are for the size. Compared to the Apple dongle, it sounds more detailed, airier, and more separated, with a fun, slightly bouncy low-end.
Pros
- +Sounds more defined, detailed, and airy than the Apple dongle
- +Better separation than Apple dongle
- +Fun tuning: bouncy bass without getting bloated
- +Solid build for the price
- +Supports mic and inline controls
- +Supports up to 32-bit/384kHz
Cons
- -Bass can feel loose on harder-to-drive headphones like the HD650 (likely lacks power)
- -Not ideal if you need strong power for high-impedance headphones
