Yeah, I unfortunately finally gave up the headphone jack. My phone broke and I couldn't find a good phone that had wireless charging, a headphone jack and a micro SD card slot. I went with the S20 FE since it had 2 of them. The budget galaxys seem have headphone and mcicro sd but not wireless charging. I almost bought an old S10 since that's the last galaxy with all three, but figured since it'd be losing update support soon I had better pick which feature to lose.

I'm kind of regretting it already. I don't have portable bluetooth headphones right now, had to order some and I kept wanting headphones over the weekend since they haven't arrived yet.

I was kind of leaning towards and LG, but everyone online was saying this was going to happen soon.

I use a NextDrive SpectraX USB-C DAC/AMP with my Android phones, and am pretty satisfied.

(I still demand and sometimes use the built-in headphone jack, mind you. The SpectraX obviously sounds better than that, though.)

I recommend getting an es100 to pair with wired headphones
Genuine question: isn't a "Bluetooth" "DAC" an oxymoron? The only way I can imagine I'm getting the quality level I'd expect for $100-$200 is if I were sending it uncompressed audio. Which Bluetooth definitely doesn't have the bitrate for.
