Came across this dongle dac on amazon but I can't find any information about it. They never mention what the dac chip is, does anyone know?
Yep, seems to be;It looks like it's KT0210.
Integrated with stereo audio DAC, SNR 103dB,
THD-85dB;
Integrated with mono audio ADC, SNR 95dB,
THD-88dB;
Manufacturer Built-in DAC Chipset Sampling Rate Dynamic Range (Signal to Noise Ratio)
SNR(Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise)
THD+NCrosstalk KT Micro KT0210 24 Bit/96 Khz N/A 105 dB 88 dB 54 dB
What do you think of it?KT0210 supports up to 24/96. The Amazon page mentions 32/384 (and DSD).
Edit: added screencap with supported sample rates for the device, from macOS.

I do wonder what chip is really in there.I'm happy with the dongle, zero issues.
However, I listen 'on the road' at moderate levels using the Moondrop Chu2 iems. ymmv.
It was already mentioned:I do wonder what chip is really in there.
PJV mentioned he owns one and it can output 32/384. KT0210 only supports up to 24/96 so it can't be that.It was already mentioned:

I haven't seen mention of it here on ASR, but I have the JM20 and the JM20 MAX, and I prefer the MAX. If your headphones/ IEMs are especially efficient, the JM20 is probably fine. I prefer the higher power output of the MAX.Thank you guys. I need to just order the JM20 or 30 already.
Does jm20 max have high noise floor with high sensitivity IEm like Simgot ew200?. I read specifications & it has really strong power, what sound signature it gives you?I haven't seen mention of it here on ASR, but I have the JM20 and the JM20 MAX, and I prefer the MAX.

I own the exact DAC OP showed. It maxes out at 24/96 on my Mac, which is strange.I have the cheaper version, not the one in the link of the OP, which indeed goes up to 24bit/96KHz.
Connected to the PC it also says KT USB Audio, the dongle linked by OP has surely another DAC.

I'm curious how you have so many options here. I bought the exact same model(25836) and can only select 44.1kHz, or 96kHz.KT0210 supports up to 24/96. The Amazon page mentions 32/384 (and DSD).
