HI I am new here, looking for a recommnedation on a budget dongle dac (<40$) that has microphone pass through support. Can you all kindly recommend me one that has good output power (2 VRMS at 32Ohm) and lies within my budget and has microphone pass through support.
The ones that i have narrowed down based on my search are :
1) Hiby FC 1
2) Hiby FC 3
3) Fiio KA1
4) Hidizs S3 Pro
5) Jcally JM80E
6) Jcally JM6 Pro
7) Moondrop Dawn Pro

Also can anyone kindly confim if the Moondrop Dawn Pro supports microphone pass through. Cant find any info on it online but chatgpt states that it does support mic passthrough?

Not the most flashy setup, but hard to beat on the minimalist / ultra portable side of things.

Maybe it looks that way on photo (to some people) but in practice there is no issue.

In conclusion, which is better? btr5 2021 vs dc04 pro

When I plugged my headphones directly into my Macbook Air I found it to be better than most DACs

What MacBook offers on my phone is enough.
I find my M1 Air to sound overall better than my Qudelix 5K. The M1 Air might have a slightly narrow soundstage, but otherwise sounds great. With my iPhone I have no complaints with the Apple type-c dongle.
