[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8868614, member: 689267"] Ah, well then, clear as mud. I have an S23 ultra and a S22 Ultra and when connecting to YouTube, I am able to use a USB-C to 3.5mm adaptor to play music to my passive headphones and earbuds AND my crown amplifier in the my soundroom. That tells me the phone is doing the conversion. None of those devices have an active DAC. On the other hand, I found this interesting to. If you want to take advantage of high-res audio on Apple Music, Tidal, or Qobuz, you can use a USB-C to 3.5mm headphone jack (which is what I used) or portable DAC. You can also use an external DAC if your phone is USBC only and doesn't have a headphone output - my android only has USB-C, so contradictory. There is no question that in my use, conversion is done by the phone. When using my earbuds, my headphones or Pro sound reinforcement set up for my music room, connected from my S22/23 Ultra phones or directly to one of my Crown amplifiers, there's no external DAC in any of those so they can't convert bitstream content. I have ead additional information on the subject, that there may be a way to dictate via setting - this depending on the phone, but again, not clear. For now, I know that the signal from my Android playing back MP3s, streaming from YouTube, etc. the conversion is done by my phone. [/QUOTE]
