Admittedly, I could be smarter and/or less sleep deprived, then maybe I wouldn't be having trouble taking in all the technical information. So I'm not saying this is a bad article. But is there a thesis hidden somewhere (even a tl;dr, as the cool kids say)? I made it about half-way through without knowing what the actual problem is before I gave up (see above lack of smarts and sleep). I THINK it's suboptimal audio quality? (Which, admittedly again, probability says it is, given this is about headphones) tl;dr: me no brain good but me interested, eli5?

If only there was some kind of hole they could put in a phone to plug your headphones into without a shitty dongle being involved... Sadly such technology remains beyond our reach.

Not really relevant to the subject, but I think the word "dongle" is absolutely gimmicky.

It's unclear to me what this person is on about. USB type c uses alt mode for audio. The adapters should be simple wires plus a few resistors. There is no adc or dac or amplifier in the dongle...

I use my phone as one. All my music files are stored locally on the SD card. One of many reasons I hate the direction phone design has gone in. My phone is from 2017 and I can't find one today that will allow even the day to day shit I use it for, let alone everything.
