The $10 Apple dongle has near-perfect measurements as long as you don't use low-impedance headphones with it. Audio codecs are a solved technology, smartphone manufacturers are just too greedy to properly implement onboard audio and inevitably skip on essential stuff. A well-integrated Realtek chip is all you need, the only relevant difference between DACs is the amp's power and impedance.

You have definitely been out of the loop. The death of the headphone jack spawned an entire category of high end tiny DAC/HPAs. Turns out the technology was always there, the market just wasn't ready.
Between this and cheap TWS I consider the death of the headphone jack an unexpected net positive.
>>
>>107802457
With detachable cables death of 3.5 jack became kinda irrelevant. I just bought cables with integrated type-c dac on one end. I only use my headphones with my phone and laptop anyway.

As if 99.99% of people can even tell any real difference.
Audiophiles weren't able to tell a sound quality difference between a wire coat hanger and a 10k cable.
Throw in the fact that a lot of the music is something downloaded from youtube and you're set for bullshit.
Audio is the most snake oil ridden sector in existence.
The only real difference in listening experience is what your headphones sound like, not whether you get few extra bits here or there.

>universally low quality
straight up untrue, the dac is part of the SoC, which has a very advanced processor, gpu, modem, dsp, a fuckton of other things, the dac is the cheapest (in terms of die space required) and easiest to design properly, if a chinkshit 5$ dongle is perfectly transparent, the DAC in most modern smartphone SoCs also is, all kinds of phones have been measured in the past (example: pixel 4a with snapdragon 730g https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/google-pixel-4a-smartphone-audio-review.16251/) and the audio quality is excellent
>low power
ths is often the case, yes (the same is true for the pixel 4a i gave an example), but it's not an issue for 99% of headphones, and is a design choice usually.
>usb-c digital audio is lossless
...it's technically not as it's still a digital to analog conversion, that will never be lossless, but if that is considered lossless a built in dac also is so... ?
but most importantly: this just misses the fucking point
people don't want jacks for audio quality necessarily, they want it for convenience, i don't give a fuck if "an usb-c dongle sounds better" (not even true btw), just give me an headphone jack.
and i also fail to see how "every phone built in jack sucks so it's better to no thave it" is an argument, just push for better jacks then? again, a 5$ chinkshit dongle off of aliexpress is perfect, so cost isn't a factor and this isn't some impossible to solve physics problem.

You can get something with a higher sampling rate than that. Some of the 32-bit/384kHz DACs don’t seem to be much bigger than the Apple one.

Bros, why hasn't there been a single company that picked up from where LG left? LG used to put hi-fi Quad DACs in their phones. They've been out of the smartphone industry for many years now and there hasn't been a single phone since then that put in a quality DAC and 3.5 jack on it?

>They've said F-Droid is a heckin' security risk
All of these are far points, but you are missing the context.
Cybersecurity people want the whole supply chain to be point to point, when you have things like fdroid it undermines that system as now you have a man in the middle that compiles form source which excludes any signatures form the developer.
But in reality that means you need to trust F-droid, that may be a bad or good thing depending on the person/ group or scenario.
>isn't Android itself a giant fucking risk itself?
Yes that's why google is trying to remove sideloading remember.
>If they actually were all that security-conscious GrapheneOS wouldn't exist in the first place.
Fair point, the mindset just doesn't make sense as you are completely undermining the security of an android phone...
>But Graphene is secure?!
Doesn't matter you are removing the OS form the pixel and change it to a 3rd party which you still need to trust at the end of the day.
It's cybersecurity people being cybersecurity people, there is nothing you can do about it.

akshually...in one of recent revisions of usb-c (as if this POS didn't have like 420 feature-set variations) support for "analog audio over usb-c" was removed

>>107808035
My laptop also sounds far worse than the last phone I had that still had a 3.5mm jack.
And like I said this is independent of the headphones/earphones I use so it's not just an impedance issue.

I don't know how ASUS does it but they somehow manage to source garbage DAC's even when 99% are perfectly fine.
Some manager probably gave himself a raise.

I still haven't seen anyone prove that commonplace DACs aren't good and someone can hear the difference between an expensive one and a cheap one. I'm sure you could easily measure it but that's entirely different from being able to pick it out in A/B.

He's right that phones have shit headphone amps though. And TVs. And VR headsets. And any other category. I can't get my studio monitors to play bass on anything handheld. I just don't trust 3.5mm outs either.
