Maybe in the future, but there is like billions of analog headphones already in the wild.
I can easily imagine appearance of semi-passive (only the negotiation logic) USB-C to jack adapters which would have exactly the kind of problem parent described.
And face it, even if the standard prohibits such devices, they will still be made because there is a need for them. See USB A-A extensions cables.
- Someone 10y agoAdding a DAC to that semi-passive adapter wouldn't make it prohibitively expensive. Even if manufacturing costs doubled, I doubt sales prices and, with it, sales numbers, would go up much, if at all because margins on this kind of cable typically are enormous.
