It's a shame that none of these privacy oriented/right to repair phones have a headphone jack.

I didn't used to have to care, but now they're tracking people by Bluetooth signatures so...

Yup. I have FP6. I crammed usb-c dac into my earphone's case. Can't have it all I guess. But still a big fan.

Do you remember which DAC you bought for it? I only have a non-DAC adapter that annoyingly activates Google Assistant when I plug it in and that I've been meaning to replace.

It says TempoTec DSD on it. I bought it on Aliexpress 5 years ago

Can't you just use usb-c headphone?

[-] Jiral@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Yes you can, if they come with in-built DAC.

[-] AlteredEgo@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

Right, apparently USB-C still has support for analog audio signal but not many support it.

So USB-C headphones have their own DAC. But using a DAC does have advantages because you avoid noise, and they can be really tiny.

Jolla Phone has the other half, which I guess you could use to add a headphone jack

Because they want you to buy the Fairbuds.
