Will Apple's official 3.5mm to Type-C adapter affect the sound quality of headphones? I've always had this question, can anyone provide a suggestion?

That’s not just an adapter that’s an all in one dac and headphone amp. It’s better than a lot of dac dongles and good enough for entry level efficient cans.

I've got two of them, it's a very good performer and won't affect the sound quality. It has a low output impedance, so its not going to change the frequency response.

I got about 20 lying around my house, but i don't know where 17 are. the sound quality difference is so subtle that you won't hear it in most iems.
