  • Maybe I’ll put it in another community. Audiophile Circlejerk if it exists.

    But my main points boil down to:

    • Extra hardware -> extra work & materials -> extra cost
    • Additional point of failure
    • Horrible effect on repairability, e-waste
    • Limits audio quality and volume (both maximum and minimum) to the integrated DAC’s output
    • Limits compatibility to devices that have USB-C and implement the protocols, which precludes everything that is analog

    can’t easily get a new one with a headphone jack

    That pisses me off to no end. Not just the fact that Apple took a steaming dump and every other company decided to eat it, that’s just natural. But it would be So. Fucking. Easy. to capture an entire niche by just slapping a minimal DAC circuit and a TRRS socket on a phone. And nobody does it! Fairphone doesn’t. Pinephone doesn’t. “Nothing”, which is supposed to be this quirky unique thing, doesn’t, but what it does do is shove an AI in the camera where all it does is crank up the fucking saturation!

    Rant over, I have to go seethe alone for a bit.
