What's the cheapest outboard DAC that you've use or are using? I mean really, really cheap.

The cheapest so far for me is one using an ES9028Q2M 2 channel DAC from AliExpress/Taobao. About 30 bucks. I was so cheap that I did not pay for the casing.

It was a Khadas ToneBoard DAC that got me hooked to this output bufferless design. This one cost $140 or so. No, I didn't buy the casing either.
