It started with notebooks, but that wasn’t the master plan.

    But like, 3.5 to usbc is a 10 buck conversion. Tbh i see merit in double usb c over usbc and headphone jack, might be more doable too, the DAC prolly takes more space than an additional usbc

        It’s not a work-around, a headphone requires a DAC and an amp. In fact, my phone has a crap DAC causing artifacts in the sound. It’s actually not to my benefit to have the jack because I’d get better sound with the external DAC which is transparent.

        So the jack works, but the DAC you get can be whatever the manufacturer considers good enough.

        DACs I can hear issues in:

        My phone, my tablet, my desktop PC

        DACs that are transparent to me:

        My laptop, my $12 external DAC
