I bought this cheap Bluetooth receiver. Can I connect a dac to it?

Sounds shit but good enough for its price :)

I want to know if I can connect it to a 3.5mm male to usb c female adapter and connect it to a dac. I'm using jm6 pro.

Is this a good lineup for budget iem collection for a casual music listener?

Iems currently owned:

- Chu 2

- Kz Castor Pro Bass

- Kz Decet

- EW300

Iems that I am planning to buy:

- Sgor luna or Kefine Klanar

- EA500 LM

- Truthear pure or Aful Explorer

- Xenns Mangird Tea Pro (end game)

It's been 3 months now since I bought my first iems. I bought Chu 2 and castor pro as my first iems. I wanted something that sounds similar to my realme t300, like I want it to sound rumbly and bassy while also have clear vocals. I was amazed on how chu 2 and castor pro sounds than my realme t300 earbuds.

Chu 2 sounds very clear but not that bassy as realme t300. I tried to eq it using Poweramp and raised 30-60hz a bit and now it has the bass that I want but also have clear vocals than t300 and castor pro.

Castor pro is my second iem. I wanted to try something more bassy without eq and damn it has clean bass, even cleaner and clearer than realme t300 earbuds, but the vocals sound lower. Like I tried music with more singing and it just sounded less loud than Chu 2.

Then there was a hype for ew300 in the subreddit and I decided to buy it for the hype. At first it sounds sharp to me and I can't listen to it for too long. I used the golden nozzle since it's less sharp sounding than the silver nozzle. After listening for several days, I am able to tolerate the sound. The vocals are clear and the bass are clean. You can hear how pronounced the bass is but to me it doesn't feel rumbly, like the vibrating feeling in your ears, the castor pro feels more rumbly to me. Switching to my other iems then using ew300 makes it sound sharp. Then I used the foams, I used 2. The sound is not sharp anymore and I don't hear the sharpness whenever I switch to it.

I asked for an upgrade for Castor pro that has better bass in Chatgpt. The list is duonic, am16, prx, zax. I chose kz decet. It really has clear and pronounced bass and the rumbly feeling. IMO it is better than the chu 2 eq'ed for bass. Sometimes listening to bassy music makes it fatiguing. I eq'ed it to lower 60-100hz and raise 500-10khz.

Can you suggest something in my future iem list that you think I should change based on what iem I use or the music I listen to?

Genre:

Edm, Jpop, RnB, Punk Rock, City pop, Classical

Music that I always go back and listen:

Made in Abyss ost

Mushishi ost

Sonnyboy ost

Angelcore(Deathwish, Archangel, Starly, fading faith, etc...)

Carpenters

Minecraft c418 ost

Gibran alcocer

Vivaldi

Greenday

Nirvana
