Cool drama lol. I don't need EarPods/AirPods at all, I love the idea of keeping my hearing in years to come.

You do realised that this is still a digital to analog conversion when listening through the lightning port? The only difference now is that instead of it occurring on a circuit within the phone, it is occurring on a circuit in the lightning plug.
