Sure, dongles give you the option when the headphone jack is removed. It's just one more thing to remember to bring and possibly lose though. I like being able to grab just the phone and earbud headphones and not have to worry about it.
- dobleboble 7y agoYou could glue the dongle to the headphones.
- twic 7y agoOr just leave it plugged in, i don't think the glue is really necessary. I bought one of these, on the grounds of some good reviews on audiophile sites: https://www.hidizs.net/products/dac-cable https://www.hidizs.net/products/dac-cable It's tiny, so it just becomes part of the earphone cable.
- PyroLagus 7y agoOh wow, I didn't know there were DAC cables, and this is pretty cheap as far as DACs go
- twic 7y agoIt's quite a bit more than a stock phone adapter (46 USD vs 10-15 USD), but still a lot less than, say, a Dragonfly Red (200 USD). And far more compact than the latter. I have the Sonata paired with some 30 GBP Chi-Fi earphones in my walking-around bag, and a Dragonfly Red paired with some 130 GBP Chi-Fi earphones in my cycling bag. The bike bag can afford to carry the bulkier equipment! Now i just need to get a motorbike or something, so i can logically justify buying a Dragonfly Cobalt and some really nice earphones ...
