It seems like the spec supports digital and analog audio data. That seems like a potential nightmare for consumers - your headphones may plug in to you phone, but they don't have a DAC, and neither does your phone. Or what if they both have DACs?
I'm sure this will be standardized in the future, and I can see the advantages of dropping the connector. I just really like cool things that can be done with the DACs and ADCs built into people's phones

- initself 10y agoThe article says the headphones would have a DAC. You gotta get those headphone cones pumpin' somehow!
- HNSucksAss 10y agoHow the hell would your phone not have a DAC? It MUST have a DAC to drive its own speaker(s). Which is what proves that this entire headphone-jack-removal scam is bullshit with zero excuses.
