Looking for a good budget dongle DAC

Heya folks.

I`m looking for advice on a good budget dongle DAC for my daughter.
I have an ifi Hip DAC and an Earmen Eagle that I use myself and am happy very with both. But I am looking for something in the £50/$70 price range for my daughter.
I needs to be a dongle style DAC for portability, 3.5mm and USB C (no iphone connection needed).
What is the best DAC chip I am likely to get in this price range?
Thanks

Apple USB-C dongle IMO shouldn’t cost more than 10 usd/gbp

The Jcally JM20 looks like a great buy. Some really good reviews out there.
Whilst looking at the JM20 I also noticed the Jcally JM40 which has the same ES9280C Pro Sabre DAC that my Earmen Eagle uses for only £25 with OCC cable connection. I might have to give that a try just to compare them.
Thanks a lot for the heads up, much appreciated!
