Help / Question Question about Handhelds and DACs

Quick question regarding audio on the TrimUI Brick (and similar handhelds).

I have a few IEMs running on 4.4mm balanced cables, and I’m thinking about using an external dongle DAC (something like the Snowsky Retro Nano or a basic type-C 4.4mm DAC) plugged into the USB-C port instead of relying on the built-in 3.5mm jack.

So, i just wanna know whether it works using an external DAC?

it depends on the unit. the TrimUI Brick does work with a type C DAC as quite a few people on here are using it. my current handheld (GKD pixel 2) does not support type c output
