Why do you need a DAC? Only "high end" headsets should have those.
The rest I imagine will simply be replacing the barrel connector with a USB connector and using USB-C's analog audio output over the proper conductors.
Not sure why this is that large of an issue - the only problems here I can see are of course the transitioning of the physical connector type which is truly painful - and I suppose vendors could choose to disable analog audio support on devices in favor of more lock-in.
- rplst8 10y agoFine, replace one analog connection with another - that will not likely be standard on all devices. Cue plethora of easy to lose adapters taking up more space in my backpack. It's just silly.

- colejohnson66 10y agoWhat's to stop Apple from setting a few pins on the Lightning port for analog audio? Or is the port exclusively digital?
- rplst8 10y agoI believe the Lightning port itself is digital signal and power only. There may be cables that have a small lump in them somewhere that provides an inline DAC to output to analog audio. This would be an example of a propreitary adapter though, and is not desireable.
