Although I know the answer as these things can perform jist the basic conversion but still thought to ask.. If this can be used as a reasonable dac in any audio chain ;) especially for music listening... I am dependent currently upon chromecast audio...
Its cheap hence got attracted to it

It can be used if your source is one of the two - optical tolink or coax spdif, but I would be suspect over its capability to drive larger cans. Would suggest to post its datasheet if possible

Couldnt find... There nothing about the hardware configuration in amazon or at the official site (infact on the official site this isn't listed at the moment)

Then be highly suspect of what you get. Could be a fake. You had mentioned that this was in your budget - could you check if the same item is available on other AMZN sites

I think that the aux out from chromecast audio would be better quality than this.
You can get rid of your chromecast from the chain and directly connect the headphone using a usbc dac to your phone.
