> TL;DR: Need a good 3.5mm to TYPE-C portable DAC for Tangzu Waner S G Jade Green on my Oneplus Nord 5. Current choice - CrinEar Protocol Micro

Hello y'all! I'm a casual listener and I've had these IEMs for 2 years now. Unfortunately my old phone died and it had a 3.5mm headphone jack. Now after upgrading my phone I've lost the headphone jack. So I wanted a good dac under 1k.

I mainly listen to female heavy jpop idol songs, Ive thought about getting a regular 3.5mm to type c converter locally but pivoted in the end thinking if I'm gonna buy it anyway why not splurge a little more and get a better one.

So in my 30 mins of research I found out this CrinEar dac. So was wondering if there are better ones at this range for my iem.
