I just got into this hobby, and picked up some kiwi ears belle, and shp9600s.

Now looking to get one of these budget dacs, the JMAC jm6 pro is about 30 Australian dollars whereas the apple dongle I can pick up for 5 with a voucher I have laying around is the JMAC worth the extra 25 dollars?

And is the apple dongle enough for the shps?

Also additional question, I don’t have a usb C port on my pc would a usb c to A adapter hurt audio quality? And also I have a headphone jack extension cable I got from a hyper x headphone like 7 years back, would it hurt audio quality to plug that into the dac and then plug headphones into that?

Thanks so much
