Apple Won’t Approve: Our Favorite Brand Crafts the Perfect iPhone Adapter

Experience flawless audio with the Snowsky Tiny DAC adapter—a compact, high-res solution designed especially for iPhone users.

Meet Snowsky Tiny: Tiny Size, Big Sound

If you're like me, always hunting for that crisp, lossless sound on your iPhone but tired of clunky adapters or compromised quality, this little gadget might just be your new best friend. The Snowsky Tiny from Fiio is a compact Hi-Res DAC (digital-to-analog converter) priced at just $21.99. Yes, you read that right — less than $22 for top-tier audio quality that rivals pricier setups!

Here’s what makes this adapter stand out right away:

• Two distinct versions with different connection options
• Supports 32-bit PCM at 384 kHz and DSD256 formats
• Compatible with gaming consoles like PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch

Fiio has truly crafted a gem here, especially for audiophiles who want an affordable yet powerful device to connect their favorite wired headphones with crystal-clear sound fidelity.

Dual Versions: Tiny A and Tiny B—Which One’s for You?

The Snowsky Tiny comes in two flavors:

• Tiny A: Features a 3.5 mm headphone output plus a USB-C charging port. This means you can listen to music and charge your device at the same time — a lifesaver for those long commutes or binge-listening sessions.
• Tiny B: Swaps out the USB-C charging port for a 4.4 mm headphone socket, allowing output through both 3.5 mm and 4.4 mm jacks simultaneously. Perfect for those who want versatile headphone options without extra adapters.

Both models support USB Audio Class 1.0 and 2.0 protocols. That’s not just great news for iPhones but also makes the Tiny compatible with powerful consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. So, your favorite games get a sonic upgrade too!

Hi-Res Audio Meets Portability: Specs That Impress

Now, let's dive into what makes the Snowsky Tiny a serious contender in the world of portable DACs. Both Tiny A and B support:

• High-res playback up to 32-bit/384 kHz PCM
• Uncompressed DSD256 format
• Colorful RGB indicator to show music quality status

Fiio hints at an “audiophile-grade” processor powering these devices — while they keep details under wraps, the audio experience definitely speaks volumes.

The Tiny even packs a 10-band equalizer, which you can tweak via a companion app or web interface on your phone. That’s right — a DJ-level audio customization in the palm of your hand.

Plus, both versions feature built-in call management and recording capabilities, making them versatile for daily use beyond just music.

In terms of output power:

• Tiny A pumps up to 45 mW
• Tiny B cranks out 45 mW on the 4.4 mm and 68 mW on the 3.5 mm output

Charging-wise, the Tiny A’s USB-C port supports quick charging up to 2 A/20 V, so you’re never left waiting.

Size and weight? The Tiny A is a mere 7 grams and measures just 29 x 22 x 10 mm, while the slightly larger Tiny B weighs 10 grams and measures 35 x 24 x 11 mm. Both fit effortlessly in your pocket or alongside your iPhone without any bulk.

And to top it off, these adapters come in black, silver, and gold, matching your iPhone’s classic color palette — though maybe not the more flamboyant hues like bright orange!

Why This Matters for Your iPhone Audio Setup

If you’re someone who treasures the purity of your music—be it from Apple Music’s lossless library or Spotify’s new Hi-Fi tier—the Snowsky Tiny is an affordable, reliable way to unlock that full sound potential.
