This JSAUX I've found to be also quite good. An improvement over the Apple USB-C in both sound and build quality, for me.
My biggest disappointment in the budget DAC dongles so far was a Meizu Hi-Fi (not the pro). Maybe I got a lemon.
I really should give that JM08 a try, they are all a little different in this price range.
I bought this one from Amazon and it's been great and reliable. The build quality is also great. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYQ2ZKH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_WADQGK8SYSXR5N92JJMX?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
But the reviews say it doesn't really work with the S20 but you said you have an S21 ultra. You can always return it if it doesn't work.
In my experience, I hear no noticeable difference between an Apple Dongle and the Topping DX3 Pro+ and FiiO KA3, all of which I own. Do yourself a favor and just get a cheap dongle dac and just enjoy the music.
No, $200 for an amp is not worth it. The HD560s are really easy to drive. If you are going to be using your phone, I recommend a simple dongle dac, such as this one from Amazon:
I recently got this for my Pixel 6 Pro and use Moondrop Starfields with them. Sounds great, plenty of volume, no complaints other than it seems to take a few milliseconds too long to wake up when no sound is playing.
That BTR5 is a beautiful device, but also lots of features for this job. I think the Fiio KA1 or KA3 would be a better choice. The BTR series give way more flexibility though.
I also use a cheap alternative for OP to concider: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYQ2ZKH/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_dl_B6MMYVH5988DE3VTTC2Q_0
Are you sure? At least with the Apple dongle, I believe it has its own internal dac built in. So do other usb-c dongles, even the cheap ones such as this: https://www.amazon.com/Headphone-Adapter-JSAUX-Compatible-Samsung/dp/B07XYQ2ZKH/ref=sr\_1\_4?crid=188NHSILU01J6&keywords=usb+c+to+3.5&qid=1657741898&sprefix=usb+c+to+3.5%2Caps%2C77&sr=8-4
It could be the USB-C adapter. I have the same issue and have to buy a particular one that works with my phone correctly. This is the one I use with my Pixel 6 Pro.
@ 48 ohms, 100 db/mW sensitivity, those will get to 113 db peaks with even only 1Vrms power; so basically a ~ $10 dongle will be enough for those. Try the Apple dongle if you have an Apple phone, the JSAux for an Android, or maybe one of the CX31993 models (such as JCally JM06).
They make some pretty good, and affordable, USB C to 3.5mm headphone DACs that will be far better than just a 3.5mm anyway. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYQ2ZKH/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_1NG23HFYZW3F2QCKTPVV That's a cheap one but should still be better than most any 3.5mm Jack built into a phone. I do phone repair and trust me when I say almost all built in 3.5mm ports do nothing other than give an audio signal.
I'm in the same boat as you with a car that doesn't have Bluetooth. Works for my car and wired headphones (S22 Ultra). Bought 2 for my parents and works for them as well (S22 base).
Obviously you would need a regular auxiliary cord but I'm guessing you probably already have one.
The 560s is my main pair. I don't need an amp to listen to these. Any device with a headphone jack can drive these loud enough with head room, so an amp isn't needed for these.
However, depending on the source, the quality of the music isn't always the best. That's why an external dac would be needed. The problem is you don't know what sounds better unless you get something to compare to. It's why this hobby is so difficult to get into.
So the answer is it depends on your use case. Do you need it for gaming? If so which device? The Nintendo Switch sounds great driving the 560s with no external amp/dac (actually better honestly to my ears).
For music, something like this 10 dollar dac/amp dongle (link below) makes Spotify sound surprisingly great on a PC or phone, and it's easy to carry around and use. This does 85-90% of what most desktop and portable dac/amps devices I've tried will do for 10 bucks. This is legit all I need to have a great music experience (great for me is an analytical or flat sound).
Now I am a tech whore, so I want to buy more expensive gear just because it's tech. But after doing so and a/b testing, I've found that I'm good with just that 10 dollar dongle in most cases. The 560s is a great headphone.
If you're like me, I'd suggest starting with that dongle and see if you like it. If not, see what fits YOUR use case(s) and YOUR preferences. Maybe a more expensive dongle might suit you better for portability. Maybe a portable dac/amp for around the house or at the office. Your ears and preferences are king here and nobody else's, but technically, you don't need to spend a lot to have a great experience with the 560s.

I'm glad you are doing your research. I've spent a bunch of hours on this topic just the other week... I'm taking 4 hours of sifting through the web articles and reviews. I came to the conclusion that if you are an audiophile, money talks. I was surprised to find that there is a cheap solution out there that is far better rated to that of the apple or Samsung. The JSAUX dongle is what you are looking for I think. If this doesn't fit your application then I am sorry and carry on with another purchase. Just thought to throw this out there as mine is arriving shortly and I'm pretty excited about it.

Anyone have a simple usb dac (like the apple usb c to 3.5mm one) they’re happy with? Not looking to overspend for audiophile gear I don’t need nor want like the sound blaster g6.
I have this one that works but the volume is lower than connecting straight to the controller. So I’d probably just need an amp then?
Thanks again for the help. I heard that Apple's adapter is not good for Android, is that true? I have an ultra s21. Would you recommend this thing I found on Amazon?
Does anyone know know if it’s possible to connect a headset to a Nintendo switch pro controller using thisaudio jack to usb c adapter
I bought this for my 4a 5g because there was a ton of volume loss when I used the headphone jack on the phone. Works great so far.

> What's your budget for this project?
A few hundred bucks, I just want to spend the money efficiently. I think I'm going to try to use something like this (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XYQ2ZKH)[USB-C to 3.5mm female adapter] instead. I think I'll spend the $130 on a dedicated android phone.
I can vouch for this adaptor working pretty well with the 9600.
But I only used it for awhile because the headphone jack on my Intel Nuc wasn't being recognized by Linux. Now that I've fixed that issue, I don't really need it. The onboard is just as good.
Some of it depends on what your preferences are. Maybe even some on what you are pairing it with.
I own the SHP9600 and the slightly more expensive Sennheiser HD58x, and I find for most things I prefer the SHP9600 through this inexpensive dongle over anything I've tried with the 58x. At least when listening at my desktop on an Intel Nuc.
If you prefer a more clinical studio reference type of sound, go for the SHP9500, but I think the better bass end and warmer overall tonality of the SHP9600 will be preferred by most people.
I can't speak to gaming though.
How do you like the overall sound of the xm3s? Do you e.q. them? If you could cut or boost either the bass or treble on them, which would you choose?
Like one of these
Thanks for your input, you were 100% correct - Plugging this 3.5mm - to - USB-C adapter into the thunderbolt 3 port of my laptop fixed the problem: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XYQ2ZKH/ref=ppx\\\_yo\\\_dt\\\_b\\\_asin\\\_title\\\_o01\\\_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Yes, it will definitely work. However, I find the apple dongle to be a bit flimsy, and managed to break the cable on two of them. This model
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYQ2ZKH
I found to be sturdier and sound just as good as the Apple one. So, something to consider.
Your can get a usb c to aux female adapter. Just the random first one from Amazon.
Good luck
This cable, not sure what p2 means.
I upgraded to a sound blaster but honestly that cable was just fine. It didn't get quite loud enough in some games. But my ears are bit bad, and for stuff with good audio(demon's souls, GoT) it was perfectly fine.
I tested this but it was hard to tell if there is really a difference. The sound does cut out for a second, so it could be switching over.
I bought this cheap USB to 3.5 DAC cable, and it works fine. It def sound better than the controller but doesn't get as loud. It's loud enough for games with good audio though.
Idk why no one has posted this yet…. Common sense!!! Maybe not but hereusb c to 3.5mm audio jack

Cheap on Amazon, equivalent should be available to you. USB Type C to 3.5mm Female... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYQ2ZKH?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Another option is this, which is currently less than $9 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XYQ2ZKH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I have one and it works great. Also, I don't think what specific chip is used matters all that much for dongles under $20.
Here it is: USB Type C to 3.5mm Female... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYQ2ZKH?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I think you would like the Sennheiser HD560s. The HyperX Cloud II has a little more bass and lower mid emphasis, but it's not good bass. The HD560s won't have overemphasized bass, but it will be nicer and cleaner than on either those or the AirPods (which have a very rolled off bass end) while having a little more emphasis on the upper mid to treble range (though not quite as much as the AirPods). It's also currently at the lowest price I've ever seen for it on Amazon, ~ $143. Until recently you couldn't get it for less than list.
With 110 db/Vrms sensitivity, it's also very easy to drive. A dongle like this is all you would need to connect to USB and get enough volume for most people.
I actually use this dongle which has a bit more power with the 58x (also ~ $149 now from Drop.com), but the 560s should be ~ 6 decibels louder than the 58x.
This the one I've had since the 21+ came out and never had a problem with it. I use it everyday

If you aren't needing the USB-C port while playing, something like this might do the trick: https://www.amazon.com/Headphone-Adapter-JSAUX-Compatible-Samsung/dp/B07XYQ2ZKH/
Another alternative would be if you could find a short extension cord that has an inline mic in it so you could use it, but when I tried looking for that, I could only find them with double male ends. You would think something like that would exist though...
This is not directly related to your question but it's how I use Qobuz on Android so I hope it helps.
Look up USB Audio Player Pro. It allows for bit-perfect playback and works with Qobuz (or local files).
Audio on Android devices is not awesome. Let me be clear, while it may sound fine (and that's technically all that really matters) it does change the sample rate of all audio to some multiple 48kHz. And if you have Quobuz, one of the reasons is probably the fact that it supports high-res audio (and if that is not important to you, just ignore this).
So regardless of how the file encoded at Qobuz, Android is going to change the audio parameters.
If you use USB Audio Player and an external DAC, you can get bit perfect playback from Qobuz and have access to all your Qobuz favorites and playlists.
However, it's not free. USB Audio Player is something like $8 and you need an external DAC. I use a super cheap no-name DAC that cost me around $7 that I got on Amazon. This cheap DAC does not unlock the highest level of resolution Qobuz offers, but I get better than CD quality. I'm sure a more expensive DAC will give better results.
But in the end, if you don't have really good headphones or can't tell the difference, it doesn't really matter. I'm providing this info on the assumption that you have Qobuz because you want the better sound quality if offers and want to get the most through your Android phone.
Here is the DAC I use (I have no affiliation to this):

Bought this for myself (S22 Ultra) & my parents (S22 Base).
Works great for all of us.
I wondered this as well and found this one posted here by /u/amithetofu during my search. I got a couple and just leave them on the ends of the cords at the two places I use them, at my desk and in my car. I had to do a little EQ adjusting to get the bass where I wanted it but they work great otherwise.
I found this but I can't guarantee it will work
I have this on order for my Focal Clear. To be honest though, the Clear already sound pretty good running through this dongle: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XYQ2ZKH/ref=ppx_yo_d
I run it off of my iPad Air 4th gen using Amazon music HD.
Will see if the Toppin sounds better. I ordered through headphones.com, which has a generous return policy.
Sorry for the late reply, I bought from Amazon US and I see you're Exynos so idk about availability for this exact one

At the thing the DAC is supposed to do, digital to analogue conversion, even some of the cheapest today will do a pretty much perfect job as far as your ears are concerned. But once that conversion is done, there still has to be an analogue output stage, which can lead to audible differences between some models, especially in the < $100 range. But these differences tend to be small, and often even of the sort that which is better is a matter of preference.
So the main difference in upgraded models will be in how much power they are offering in the amplification stage. Even the inexpensive ones will likely have enough power for your 598. I can say this one did fine with my Philllips SHP 9600, for example. And when I wanted a little more power for the 58x, I found that this one did the job (though it's too noisy with IEMS, so there might be better options overall).
Just get a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter. Or you can buy a Bluetooth to 3.5mm unit for a few more bucks.
I use this one and have no problems.
Hell, I still use a cheap dongle with my 4a because I find the built-in headphone jack to be too quiet/shittier sounding in comparison.
Haven't tried mine yet as I get my phone tomorrow, but I have this one and it worked great on my 3xl. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYQ2ZKH

I could be wrong, but isn't there a USB-C port on the headset which might allow you to plug in a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter that you can use instead of using a sound card?
I recall someone with a Vive Pro who removed the stock head strap and headphones in place with the Vive DAS.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Vive/comments/egr2w0/vive_pro_with_das_deluxe_audio_strap/
The onboard DAC should be good enough. They don't seem to give specs for power though. But I'd suspect that you would see improvement using an amp for the HD600, but likely wouldn't for the HD660s, a more recent model designed to be easier to drive.
I don't think there is a HD600s, but the HD600 would be best with at least 2.5 Vrms (and lots of user reviews seem to support that these Sennheisers scale well with more power), while the HD660s would likely do fine either direct from the MB, or with an inexpensive ~ 1 Vrms DAC/AMP dongle like this or this.
Can confirm this one works.
I bought this one from Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYQ2ZKH
It's working with my wired headset (Plantronics I think) with both microphone and headphones. I haven't tried it with anything else.
I picked up n adapter on amazon Jsaux brand for my 1plus 8t so far is working great. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XYQ2ZKH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_IqgSFbWQ6ZBRF?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Oh nice. I just bought a $14 one on Amazon but that might have been better. At least this one is Nylon so it's less likely to break soon.
Get this for a higher resolution, tho I dont know if Atmos works
