Usb type c audio jack sound better?

Hi guys I was not too happy with the built in dac on the note 8 and a friend recommended buying a usb c to headphone adapter as apparently have there own dac built in so I bought the htc one http://www.htc.com/uk/accessories/usb-c-digital-to-3-5mm/
And I don't know if I'm hearing things but it does sound louder with the adapter or am I just hearing it different?
My question is if it's true about these adapters having there own dac is there a better one the the htc obviously in a reasonable price range ive seen the one with the razor phone is ment to be good
And if this is the case I don't see the big fuss about looking the headphone jack if we can get great sound from the adapters lol
Thanks

Are you sure your friend didn't say that usb would use the headunit dac instead? I know that works that way, usb c to usb into my headunit for direct file play using only the headunit dac not headunit dac+ phone dac. No, I can't see any adapters your talking about having built into dac.
I can also tell you that I can't use high res in poweramp through usb or UHQ upscaler in settings with usb audio. I prob won't use it much due to those reasons, or Bluetooth for poor audio quality and no uhq upscaler either. Leaving aux for being the best for audio on this phone.

The moment you use the usb-c port to play your music, it bypasses the internal DAC. This is why ALL usb-c earbuds etc have their own DAC. I honestly doubt an adapter-DAC combo less than 10 pounds will outperform the DAC in the Note 8.
There is a major distinction between
1. How the DAC processes and shapes your music.
2. How 'powerful' it is and if it can handle high impedance headphones.
Seems to me that no. 2 is likely but definitely not no.1 with the adapter you linked.
It is well known that LOUDNESS(not volume) often comes across as BETTER quality sound.
Thanks guys I'm no audiophile I just wanted better and louder sound which the usb c headphone adapter seems (placebo maybe) do I've looked around on Amazon with a few of them claiming that they have decent dac built it
Do these dac in the adapters bypass the phone dac or something ?

Have you tried the HTC one?
Apparently, the Hidizs Sonata HD is the business although I haven't bought one yet.

Question Issue in plugging earphone

I just bought a USB type C-to-3.5mm adaptor (Xiaomi brand) and plugged into S21u using my existing earphones such as Sony, Realme and Huawei. None of them is working. It says "USB is not supported". I do not want to use Type C earphones as all my other mobiles and laptops use 3.5mm jack. Any solution?
The adapter must have an inboard DAC.
Newer Samsung phones output in digital only, no analog.
Use the Samsung C port/3.5 mm adapter.
Better yet get a pair of Buds+, at the very least you'll want them for calls.
Finally, got myself a basic type C earphone made by Samsung (costs 27 USD) rather than an adapter with built-in DAC. The sound is rich in mid and high but lacks bass compared to my existing 3.5mm earphones.
I had the same earphones, single driver, no bass at all, totally worthless. Replaced them with these which are very good. Samsung no longer offers them but can be found in South Korea on eBay. Contrary to the video the price is down to around $70 USD. Not as good as the 1MORE Quad Driver which requires an adapter.

Question S21U not compatible with usb to 3.5mm dongle?

I just tried my xiaomi usb to 3.5mm dongle on my S21U and it said usb device is not recognised.
Is this normal?
Is there "hacks" for rooted s21u?
Use the Samsung one...
kan ikke lide usb mods fra software.
60% is not working
My Apple branded one works. It feels super flimsy though.

Does the USB-C to 3.5mm dongle have a DAC converter chip inside? Some phones don't output analog audio natively through the USB-C port and require a digital to analog conversion which are supported by some external adaptors. Maybe that model device doesn't output analog audio via the USB-C?

Yes, this is the correct answer to the OP's question. You need a DAC USB-C not a simple USB-C to 3.5mm adapter. Such adapters retail for around $50+ the better the DAC the higher the price.
Thanks
Well I will only use my good Mpow M30 bt
It works with 3.5mm dongle

Just bought a 32bit/384kHz sampling one for 8$ on Aliexpress...and before you tell me I can't hear difference between this and a 16bit one...let me tell you..I DO.
I got a 3$ DAC onw and while good for calls, I can definitely tell the difference for music.
And yes, I have the Huawei adapter that came with a Mate 20 Pro ( remember the times when power adapters,cables and 2.5mm jack converters came with phones???) and it's not recognized by the S21U.

You will surely hear the difference between a 16bit and 32bit sampling. It's very likely Huawei adapter may not have a DAC on board as my OnePlus 7Pro adapter didn't have one. My contention was not about the price - $50 for a DAC adapter. The point I was trying to make was that you needed an adapter with a DAC..the better the DAC onboard the better your music will sound. It's all personal taste...and if an $8 DAC does the job...good for you!
One day, in the future, phone technology will be so advanced that they will have DAC built in.
use the OEM from samsung ... i did buy a couple with the option to charge at the same time and they didn't work. Saddly you need a one with build-in DAC onto the Type-C to 3.5mm adapter. The cheapest one is the OEM from samsung.... sucks but thats it.

Mi 8 USB Audio Standard, DAC, etc?

Does anyone else have experience with replacing the USB to audio adaptor with an aftermarket dongle?
My USB to 3.5 mm earphone adaptor no longer works. If I firmly push the little cable into the base of the USB part of the dongle, the phone will very, very momentarily recognise a headphone (I have tried several sets of ear phones).
I just bought this off Amazon, but the phone does not recognise the earphones at all:
Rpanle USB C to 3.5 mm Jack Adapter, USB C to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter, DAC Chip, for Samsung Galaxy, Huawei, OnePlus7 etc (Black): Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo
Free delivery and returns on eligible orders. Buy Rpanle USB C to 3.5 mm Jack Adapter, USB C to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter, DAC Chip, for Samsung Galaxy, Huawei, OnePlus7 etc (Black) at Amazon UK.

This new dongle does work in a Mi 8 Lite though. Which makes me wonder if there is a difference in the technology.
I have now just ordered this different one from eBay:
USB Type C to 3.5mm headphone Adapter Cable for Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Lite SE Explorer | eBay
Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for USB Type C to 3.5mm headphone Adapter Cable for Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Lite SE Explorer at the best online prices at eBay! Free delivery for many products.

I have to use specific in-ear earphones, which is why I have to use 3.5 mm jack
Make sense to anyone?
