USB-C DAC issues

[Anonymous]

Hello. I purchased a KBEAR T1 DAC recently to use with my Samsung Galaxy S21. When plugging it in however, a constant static noise keeps playing. Is there a fix for this? I haven't found anything everywhere I looked.

Hi, we would like to inform you that it might be a KBEAR T1 DAC issue.
We recommend you to use the type C to 3.5mm adapter which is available on our website. https://www.samsung.com/ca/search/?searchvalue=Type%20C%20to%203.5mm%20adapter

does it have a DAC chip?
the posted reviews aren't favorable...

does the static noise happen with any wired headphone?

to rule out any hardware issue, if possible test the DAC on a different USB-C port of another samsung (phone or tablet)

The static noise happens with all wired headphones I've tested. I don't have access to any other phone with a USB-C port

for testing purposes only: connect to audio-in of any portable speaker.

I've connected it to my PC speakers and there doesn't seem to be any static. I'm looking to use them for in-ear monitors (which have worked fine with a generic DAC at the cost of audio quality) and not PC speakers.
