How bad does the USB-C to AUX dongle ruin audio quality?

Hi there, I’m thinking about getting my first pair of IEMs, as I’ve never had any before and would like to have a wired option that is easy to travel with. I’m specifically looking at the Moondrop Chu 2 as they seem quite affordable and a good starting point.

However my phone does not have AUX anymore (Pixel 7A) and I doubt I’ll get a phone that has one in the future as I want to continue to use GrapheneOS.

Does anyone have any experience regarding the use of these dongles. Is there something I should be aware of before doing a purchase?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I see on the pictures(website link) that it’s possible to purchase this with an adapter between the dongle and the IEMs. Is this one in specific strictly necessary or can I go with a smaller/cheaper one?

Edit 2: Further investigation, it seems like these can come in two variants: 3.5jack and USB-C.

I mean, it isn’t. The same way usb-c will never be “an android charger” no matter how many times people say it.

Do you have a charger?

Yeah, Android or iPhone?

That’s how I hear it the most.

To me, the charger will always be the wall brick.

I heard that more commonly referring to Micro USB but, yeah, most people used to ask what phone you have, not what cable.
