hi res audio on sonos ace

Hi 

I have an iPhone 15 and Sonos ace. 
can I get a DAC connector and wire my headphones to my phone and get hi res lossless? 
 

any help would be great before I buy a DAC. 
 

Thanks

The Ace actually has a USB-C connection that allows you to wire it to your phone or computer directly, no DAC needed.  It also has a 3.5mm analog to USB-C connection if you wish to use a DAC.

My issue is not wth the usb-c to usb-c cable supplied, which is the charging one, but the audio cable included for the Ace which is a 3.5mm analoge to digital usb-c.

I discovered that it works but the volume has to be turned up to almost max for even a faint sound.

I have a vinyl table here that has a 3.5 mm i will try it out to see the result…keep ya posted.

Just tested it…volume  has to be pretty high indeed.but i dont know …that might be the normal case when connecting through 3.55????

what i did notice that my 3.5 mm has the same issue on the usb c side…i can oly connect it in 1 way…if i flip it …no sound at all.is this also the case with yours?
