was $37.99 on sale, now $30.01.

if you need something with slightly more power than Apple USB-C to 3.5mm adapter, which is highly recommended for most use cases.
to save you from searching Apple USB-C dongle currently $9 C&C at HarveyNorman and $15 on Amazon AU.

Allegro has both 3.5mm and balanced 4.4mm outputs.

Apple USB-C to 3.5mm: 31mW combined (15mW + 15mW @ 33ohm), 0.9ohm output impedance.
Kiwi Ears Allegro Mini: 60mW combined (30mW + 30mW), (balanced 4.4mm - they don't provide the info but you could estimate from Allegro Pro's 70mW 3.5mm and 155mW balanced 4.4mm, but it could be the same 60mW just with a 4.4mm connection), <1ohm output impedance.

Allegro also has very low output impedance claimed <1ohm makes it ideal for IEM's and low impedance headphones.

38 x 10 x 15 mm size. should just attach to bottom of the phone, should have enough clearance for your case but ymmv (depends on case).
modern Apple phones use USB-C are also compatible.
Google AI says additional "lightning to USB-C OTG cable required" key word being lightning.
Kiwi Ears says "USB Type-C works with in Windows, Mac, Android and iOS."

    apparently if you buy the Apple dongle in Europe, it only output half the power 0.5V instead of 1.0V.

    so 15mW combined (7.5mW + 7.5mW) and many people who have it have issues getting their wanted volume level.

      So it's fine to get the ones they sell in Australia?

        yes. just thought it's worth knowing. if you go to europe on holiday and realised you forgot yours to listen to IEM's, it's not worth buying.

            @sintro: yup just make sure you get the right one.

            old one is lightning, new one is USB-C.

            idk if any place selling the old one still, but they might.

  This sounds good with KZ PRX. Thought I would upgrade recently with a Fosi DS2 but I prefer the Kiwi because the Fosi has soft landing bass punch that sucks the rhythmic drive I’m used to hearing through my speaker system.

  Is this the best dac to use with the zero 2?
