  >Would you refuse to buy headphones that have an integrated amplifier and dac and a USB connector. If those headphones don't unplug from the amp to allow me to use a 3.5mm stereo jack. Yes. >or would you refuse to buy a dedicated amp/dac with which you could use any headphones? I would not refuse that. I try to avoid buying products which have non-standard connectors that limit connectivity with other devices. I only buy headphones with a standard 3.5mm stereo jack because I have a ton of different devices and I don't want to limit myself to audio devices which only have a USB port or Bluetooth chip. That's just silly in my eyes. If the headphones have a stereo jack then my opinion of them might be different, but still dependent on their quality.
