Looking for CHEAP USB DAC solution

I’ve used a VERY cheap dongle DAC from aliexpress (less than 20€) with Pi0, Pi3 and Pi4 with no issues. Edited: it’s a bit more expensive now, but it’s this one.

I bought another iNassen branded USB C to 3.5 mm dongle & a USB mini to USB C adapter from Amazon. Less than $15 for the two and am using them on my Pi Zero 2 W / Volumio 3 test bed with good success.

Note : You will need to use Volumio 3 with the Pi Zero 2 W. The Volumio 2 platform doesn’t support it without some hacking. Neither do several other software players I tried. Too new it appears.
