It certainly is not a "line level" solution. Link to comment
0 davide256 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 You can do an acceptable job with a self powered portable DAC that has headphone output jack. But don’t expect much from underpowered dongles Regards, Dave Audio system Link to comment
0 deanorthk Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I have tested my iphone 11 pro max with a MOJO, wich a lightning to usb cable. And the sound was really nice. I suspect with a very good amp/dac, result could be quite good. davide256 1 Link to comment
