UGREEN 65101 2 m USB-C to 3.5 mm DAC Audio Cable

Overview

The UGREEN 65101 is a 2 m cable that plays music from a USB-C phone, tablet or laptop through a car stereo, speakers or headphones with a 3.5 mm input. A digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) built into the cable handles playback up to 32-bit, 384 kHz, so it works with devices that have no headphone socket. The 2 m length suits a phone in a rear seat or a laptop across the desk from the speaker.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a USB-C device feeding an AUX input, powered speaker or wired headphone input some distance away.
• It is for playback only. The 3.5 mm end is a three-pole (TRS) plug, so a headset’s microphone and buttons will not work through it. For calls, choose a TRRS cable or adapter.
• Audio flows one way, from USB-C to 3.5 mm.
• Not for AirPods Max.

Key features

• Built-in DAC with playback up to 32-bit, 384 kHz. That is the converter ceiling; the final format is negotiated by the device and playback app.
• USB-C male to 3.5 mm TRS male.
• Nylon braid, aluminium-alloy connector shells and shielded copper conductors.
• Powered by the USB-C device; no battery.
• 2 m (6.6 ft) long.

What else you need

• A USB-C phone, tablet or laptop that supports USB audio output.

Before you buy

• Not reversible, and no microphone return, calls or inline remote.
• No charging, video, data transfer or Bluetooth, and no amplification for passive speakers.
• Not for AirPods Max.
