Recently i had to upgrade my phone and sadly since the world is hell bent on making things unnecessarily hard i need to buy a new type-c dac.
With many products you can see, for example 32-bit 384KHz which wants to show the "capacity" of the dac chip. For the frequency range/transmission of headphones/earphones, it is preferred to have a wider frequency range due to better audio quality. (at least this is a principle in many circles, of course it's more complicated).
What i don't get is that they sometimes don't come with data like frequency range or if they do they just state it with a range of 20hz-20khz what doesn't make sense given the 32bit/384khz data that they previously mentioned. Why is that ?? Why have a high res chip in your product when your output is on the side of the majority of bad quality headphones.
fyi i know of the medical information of human hearing but that doesn't give a reason for this kind of difference.
