Regarding DACs, sure, that is quite the niche that I might be part of one day. But that does not in any way reduce the need nor the usefulness of the headphone jack. I buy into "one port for everything", but headphone jacks will probably outlive usb-c. The stereo right beside me is 15 years old (nothing special but nothing wrong with it either) and the one I just bought will probably be used for way more than 30 years. They both have headphone jacks, none of them have usb-c. It monumentally moronic to have headphones that only work with certain types of devices, especially for no good reason. My car stereo is so old it doesn't even have an AUX input and I'm eventually gonna replace it solely for the reason of gaining an AUX input. There is no way that you can convince me that removing the headphone jack is nothing but a travesty.
