Yeah. This is a huge bummer in the record making community and word got around immediately in my circles that they're incapable of going direct. As it turns out the AirPods Max (v1) are great headphones for many critical listening tasks (with a few caveats). So the announcement of a USB connector on v2 was a huge deal. Several people I know bought them on day 1 and had to return them as soon as they discovered this flaw. One industrious friend wired their own custom cable that terminates in a 1/8" plug to work around the limitation.
