Recommendation for best iOS DAC dongle and Portable DAC - Audiophile Setup

[Jackhifi]

I currently have Campfire Solaris and Hifiman Sundara. Looking for a dongle for iOS when I’m mobile but also a portable dac for when I’m at a desk.

I have the Dragonfly Cobalt but noticed no diff from the Apple dongle and after seeing the reviews here I’m returning it. I also bought a ifi idsd micro signature that I’m hoping to be my desk setup (open to better options)

Theres so much conflicting info online and so many options. So to get rid of the noise. What is the absolute best portable dac amp and the best audio dongle? (The hidisz s9 and meizu hifi pro are of interest to me but hard to find online)

Thanks!

I also have the same question. What is the best dongle for iOS for purely mobile use.

I think the Apple Dongle does just fine without a penalty to performance.
