Cheap dac for smart phone to receiver.

Posted by mjcmt on December 17, 2016 at 12:09:27:
I'm looking for a step-up from the mini headphone jack of my android phone to the auxiliary input of my vintage receiver. I'm not looking to spend a lot, but some kind of small DAC from the phone to the receiver for listening to music from a radio app.

I went to Amazon and eBay and quickly became overwhelmed at all the cheap DACs available.
I'm thinking of one that you plug into to mini usb port on the phone with RCA's to the receiver. I'm not necessarily looking for audiophile quality, just an improvement providing more volume with better sound than the phone's headphone jack is providing.

Please guide me in this purchase.
Sincerely,
Mike
