How bad does the USB-C to AUX dongle ruin audio quality? (slrpnk.net)

Hi there, I'm thinking about getting my first pair of IEMs, as I've never had any before and would like to have a wired option that is easy to travel with. I'm specifically looking at the Moondrop Chu 2 as they seem quite affordable and a good starting point.

However my phone does not have AUX anymore (Pixel 7A) and I doubt I'll get a phone that has one in the future as I want to continue to use GrapheneOS.

Does anyone have any experience regarding the use of these dongles. Is there something I should be aware of before doing a purchase?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I see on the pictures(website link) that it's possible to purchase this with an adapter between the dongle and the IEMs. Is this one in specific strictly necessary or can I go with a smaller/cheaper one?

Edit 2: Further investigation, it seems like these can come in two variants: 3.5jack and USB-C.

I have literally never heard someone refer to usb-c as an android charger

Do you have a charger?

Yeah, Android or iPhone?

That’s how I hear it the most.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

I heard that more commonly referring to Micro USB but, yeah, most people used to ask what phone you have, not what cable.

To me, the charger will always be the wall brick.
