I’m not clicking the link to read this but these sort of headlines are often a result of their survey intentionally wording things like this to spin the narrative. Anyone who does in fact want it banned immediately would still say yes to the question. I’d suspect there are many such folks across Europe.

Only as useful as your input and depends on the impedance of your headphones. I disagree, I think it makes a huge difference depending on setup. Everyone’s hearing sensitivity is different though. I do think people should try to hear for themselves before jumping to but anything.

Will sound better too. A cheap FIIO or even Apple dongle sounds noticeably better, more power delivered.

I’m ok without the jack I think unless they’re going to also pair it with a high quality internal DAC like Sony.
