I appreciate it that you tell me you and your friend were not convinced in the Chronos. I think that’s a good thing when there are different opinions of a product.I think CS43131 is good too if you can find one in that price range from aliexpress lol.
Like for example this one but I can't find it from aliexpress. Make sure it says CS43131.

Gotcha, sorry I just assumed LOL. But yes in that case Questyle M12 should work out well for you.
As for Chronos, me and my friend might be the only 2 that thought it was just "okay". Like it's not bad, but for the price I feel like there are better dongle dac out there. But others seems to have good experience with it with IEM. For me I find it lacks layering and soundstage (kind of flat) on my Denon D5200 (fairly easy to drive headphone). Also not a lot of bass. Some people pointed out that based on specs it's identical to iBasso DC03, so it's suspected that it's just the same thing different shell.
Again Chronos seems to have raving reviews so I don't know, just letting you know that me and my friends weren't impressed LOL (I think he used Focal Clear, I used Denon D5200).
Otherwise let me know what you end up with later! Cheers!
I remember when the Focal Utopia came out and everybody was raving about them but only much later there came opinions that it might be too revealing.
Or when everyone was hyped about the CA Vegas IEMs when they were released and only after a long time they got it that they where bass heavy. And that’s totally ok. Someone might love it that way, others don’t.
So wha I learned about that: That I want my DAC to be as neutral as possible. Maybe Questyle M12 is what I am searching for. Let’s see. Keep you posted.
