People disagree with you when it comes to modern Apple hardware: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/2021-macbook-pro-14s-dac-sounds-remarkably-good.966558/ https:/

  In my experience, Apple's offerings are only marginally better than the average, and are still vastly outperformed by something external. You don't need to spend a lot, but it really comes down to a couple things: * External, dedicated DAC * The software doing playback has exclusive control over the device (no Windows/Apple/Android audio mixers messing it up) * Set it for bit-perfect playback (this will disable any mixers available in the application) * [If possible] Play a lossless copy of the audio or use a streaming service that offers that option (space is cheap in 2023) Bam. Those steps will be night-and-day over anything integrated, it's not even close.
