The Conexant (CX-Pro) CX31993 is a good, cheap dongle DAC. There is even an USB C to USB A adaptor kit option to use on computers without USB C. It is a great looking alternative to the plastic USB C Apple Dongle.
The CRA is good out of the box. The medium tips worked for me. The cable isn’t great: no chin slider, doesn’t wrap too well, and feels cheap; but it isn’t bad either: the mic worked on the mic version, the cable is comfortable behind the ears, and the plug is angled for a nice change.
Jade audio ea1 sounds about right. Great timbre, slightly boosted bass and treble, with good and slightly recessed mids. It has one one of the most common iem shapes, and is a great fit for me.
