Glad to see that this massive android fanboy can finally understand that it's not just "perceived" increased performance on the iPhone 7 as he tried to claim earlier.
I wonder if he still thinks the dac in the adapter "entirely" defines sound quality like he also tried to claim earlier.
Also, it might be worth nothing that if android go the same route you will need a USB type c connector, which is heavier, bigger, more expensive and does not transmit analogue therefore requiring evernessince's beloved dac. It would be worse than the lightning port for audio. Of course it's worth pointing out that dacs will move to the headphones and will be far better than a generic dac in the phone as they will be bespoke but the who am I to say anything, I only worked in sound production for 8 years.
The DAC, Headphones, and audio file you are listening to determine audio quality. I stated that very clearly. That isn't debatable, it's fact. If any one of those are of low quality then the result is low quality. You quote marks mean nothing because those aren't my words.
"I only worked in sound production for 8 years"
Yeah, because everyone on the internet is an expert. I hear this about every other day.
"Of course it's worth pointing out that dacs will move to the headphones and will be far better than a generic dac in the phone as they will be bespoke but the who am I to say anything"
And how do you come up with that? Do you realise the space and cost requirements of a quality dac? No, low end headphones will weight more, cost more to make, and implement the lowest quality DAC. This is obvious as the low end always minimizes costs. You are forcing extra costs unto every headphone, especially if you want them to sound good. For someone who supposedly worked is sound production for 8 years you don't even know the basic. Go to head-fi and pose the question you just posed to me and then tell them where you worked for 8 years.

Ok, you are the one coming back here and taking cheap shots after the fact. I've been called an Nvidia fanboy, an Intel Fanboy, an Apple fanboy, an AMD fanboy, whatever company you can name I've probably been called a fanboy. Correlation does not equal causation, just because I defend a product that happens to be under a brand doesn't make me one. Weak people use names instead of an actual argument.
"Also, it might be worth nothing that if android go the same route you will need a USB type c connector, which is heavier, bigger, more expensive and does not transmit analogue therefore requiring evernessince's beloved dac."
So it essence the same thing as the lightning connecter, seeing as they are both digital cables. The big difference being anyone can use USB-C, it is not a proprietary format.
