I just bought this mini dac based on this CS chip which seems to be a good (cheap) alternative... 🧐
Have any of you tried it yet?

im about to buy this one: https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005005948595719.html
seems like one of the best portable chips today, will report on sound quality
curious how it sounds compared to my BLA interface with CS chip (which sounds pretty good) as i usually despite ESS chips
will report back in a few days 🙂

moondrop dawn pro sounds fairly good for the money (pure CS43131 implementation wiithout opamp).... tho it sounds a bit brittle/thin like usually "small amps" do
so i bought the Fiio KA15.... Dual CS43198 + Dual SGM8262-2
arrived today and it sounds alot closer to my BLA interface, actually so good that i think it comes down to preference (i didnt really got that feeling with the moondrop dawn pro)
now i hooked my active speakers up to the headphone out of the fiio ka15, and it blew me away... "not quite" like the bla interface but its getting close
im actually wondering now if one could use one of these dongles as a "base" to build a own dac (or build a "output stage" that can be hooked up)
