Google search is far too basic to ask a question such as yours (and it's really not terribly complicated). I recommend loading DuckDuckGo (DDG) browser. It's privacy focused and does as much as practical locally to not feed search engines. Anyway, DDG has built into the browser anonymous access to chat AI engines. GPT-4o mini and 3o mini are a couple of the newer ones that tend to hallucinate less than previous versions. So, use AI not Google.
I asked Chat GPT-4o mini the following, each line further refines the question and therefore the answer or response, starting of course with your precise question:
Now you have a short list to investigate...hope this helps avoid spending days looking in the future
What's the smallest most powerful mW bluetooth dongle dac amp?
Please list the mW output of each
are any smaller than TAOTRONICS TT-BR06
Please revise answer to include respective mW output
Please create a table sorted by power output and size and price MSRP
Answer:
Here are some compact Bluetooth DAC/amps that are either smaller than or comparable in size to the Taotronics TT-BR06, along with their respective output power specifications (in milliwatts, mW):
- FiiO BTR3K:
- Size: Compact and lightweight
- Output: Approximately 200 mW into 32 ohms (balanced output), around 100 mW into 32 ohms (single-ended output)
- Shanling UP2:
- Size: Very small and portable
- Output: Approximately 200 mW into 32 ohms (balanced output), around 100 mW into 32 ohms (single-ended output)
- EarMen Sparrow:
- Size: Compact and lightweight
- Output: Approximately 200 mW into 32 ohms
- Astell&Kern XB10:
- Size: Small and portable
- Output: Approximately 100 mW into 32 ohms
- iFi Zen Blue:
- Size: Slightly larger but still relatively compact
- Output: Approximately 400 mW into 32 ohms (balanced output)
The Taotronics TT-BR06 has an output of around 50 mW into 32 ohms, so the options listed above generally provide higher output power while being compact or similarly sized. Always check the specific dimensions and specifications to ensure they meet your needs.
Here's an updated table that includes approximate current street prices for each device, along with their output, dimensions, size, and MSRP:
| | | | | |
| iFi Zen Blue | 400 | 110 x 80 x 25 | 4.33 x 3.15 x 0.98 | $149 | $129 - $149 |
| FiiO BTR3K | 200 | 62 x 25 x 12 | 2.44 x 0.98 x 0.47 | $99 | $79 - $99 |
| Shanling UP2 | 200 | 60 x 25 x 12 | 2.36 x 0.98 x 0.47 | $99 | $79 - $99 |
| EarMen Sparrow | 200 | 55 x 20 x 10 | 2.17 x 0.79 x 0.39 | $149 | $129 - $149 |
| Astell&Kern XB10 | 100 | 60 x 25 x 12 | 2.36 x 0.98 x 0.47 | $99 | $79 - $99 |
| Taotronics TT-BR06 | 50 | 60 x 30 x 12 | 2.36 x 1.18 x 0.47 | $39.99 | $29 - $39 |
