Does the job perfectly + GREAT AUDIO!

Choose from about 5 vendors on Revain offering more or less the same thing just differently packaged and branded. One of them said "Euasoo" somewhere in his description where it should have been his own company's name, probably a copycat error. :-p So I decided to try this one. Packing: aluminum body, about 1mm thick. It's a bit bigger than the competition/copycats, but actually the volume could be better because a bigger aluminum case = more heat dissipation. The device heats up a bit, but not much, which is good because if the outside is too warm or even hot to the touch, it means the internal circuitry is getting too hot, which is a common problem with low-profile adapters . .Three USB connections seem to work fine. I haven't had a chance to test high power USB ports. The HDMI port also works well. It's driven directly by the onboard NVIDIA graphics (confirmed in the System Information app), so it's an advantage over some other USB to HDMI adapters that are video chipsets instead of USB and 1) often require a chipset driver to be installed and 2) offer 3D - acceleration is practically nonexistent. Note. The HDMI port only supports 4K at 30Hz, so if you need 4K at 60Hz I would suggest getting a USB-C to DisplayPort alternate mode cable that plugs directly into your laptop's USB port is connected. C and can drive a 4K @ 60Hz DisplayPort monitor. The 4K@30Hz limit is more than adequate for most trips. And now a pleasant surprise: the sound quality is EXTREMELY good. I tested it using a Sennheiser PXC 550 with built in headphone USB DAC for reference. The frequency response appears very flat (almost no coloration). It loses a bit of fidelity in the high frequencies, but overall playback is surprisingly accurate, which I wasn't expecting from a built-in dock or USB-C adapter. Kudos to his circuit engineers! Note. As stated in the specification, the audio connector is not just a stereo headphone/headphone jack (3.5mm TRS) but a headphone/microphone combo jack (3.5mm TRRS, CTIA standard, same pinout as iPhone and most Android phones). Most 3.5mm TRS headphone plugs should work just fine, but if you experience hum or phase issues (audio becomes hollow, muffled, or "spooky"), you may need to pull the plug out of the jack a little before you can press it to the right hit a spot, or if you can't find the right spot - which is unlikely but possible depending on the connector design - obtain and use a TRRS male to dual TRS female headphone/mic splitter cable. Possibility to test the VGA output. I'll update if there's anything notable about this.
