I run a TradeMe store and have recently bought some USB C to 3.5mm adapters (with built-in DAC / Digital to Analog Converter) and looking for someone with a iPad Pro or Google Pixel 2 or higher phone (any generation) and ideally have the Google or Apple USB C to 3.5mm DAC adapter to compare it against.

 

 

 

I've tested it on my Mac with USB C ports, but the results aren't promising and I wonder if an iPad Pro/Pixel phone would work differently with it.

 

 

 

Basic tests I'm after:

 

  • Are stereo left / right channels on the right sides (left is left, right is right, not reverse stereo like some adapters on TM are).
  • Any hiss or hum when listening to quiet music/audio (or when starting/stopping playing audio).
  • Can you adjust the volume into the low 2-5% without the audio cutting out to 0% before 0% audio level.
  • Bonus test: Use earbuds like the Apple ones that have basic controls like vol, play pause.
  • Anything else you observe.

 

 

It's for free, and I'll pay to ship it to you.

 

PM me your address if interested and have an iPad Pro / Pixel 2 or better phone.

 

 

 

I'm only sending one out, so first to PM will get it.

Thanks mentalinc, I've just had someone PM with a Pixel 3, so no longer looking for someone.
