DAC Recommendations for My Truck


I drive a 2015 F150 King Ranch with Sync 2.  I want to stream Amazon Music HD Unlimited Hi Res from my iPhone into my media hub which is a 3.5mm.  I have ordered the Lightning Camera adapter that allows hi res digital out of the phone and into a DAC via USB A (camera adapter).  Any suggestions for a Dongle DAC?  I want to stay in the $100 range for the first purchase so i can determine if it is worth investing more in the DAC.

Already pulled the trigger.  Besides, the quality of the system in my truck is more of a limiting factor than the DAC.  I just wanted to be able to feed it something better than the MP3 level music from iPhone, Satellite Radio, or radio.

Got all the cables and DAC and hooked it up yesterday.  Functions perfectly with Amazon Music HD.  The dragonfly changes color as data stream increase and detects the Hi_Rez stream.  The sound and details are much clearer than satellite, radio, and CD.  The CD quality is probably limited by the quality of the factory unit.  I live out in the country so I experienced a few drop outs (T-Mobile).  Driving in to the big city later today so will get to see how well it functions and how responsive the new Alexa features function for music searches while driving.

@maam522a , Thank you for taking the time to post your findings. So often people get some direction and we never hear the result. My truck was at the dealership this past week , I’ll start playing with it next week. Did you try any cables that are above the cheap OEM free stuff ? Regards , Mike B.
