I am looking for a set of wired earbuds with a USBC Jack. I had a set of apple ones with an adapter but I found the adapter too unreliable. This will be for use with a google pixel phone. Anyone got a set they could suggest?

    It’s capable of 32bit 384khz resolution, can drive 32ohm headphones

    It should be noted that none of these “specs” mean anything for audio quality. If anything, these would lower audio quality slightly.

      It would lower audio quality if you were upsampling all your 44.1khz and 48khz files to 384khz for the sake of feeding to the DAC, but luckily USB Audio Player Pro, and PowerAmp on Android both automatically set the DAC sampling rate to match the native audio file bitrate, so no resampling needed.

        I’m not even talking about upsampling as that’d be 100% dependant on your source files. I’m talking about effects of ultrasonic sounds on typical audio equipment. Read the section “192kHz considered harmful” of https://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html. Actually, read the entire thing. It’s a very interesting and educating read.

        That’s all besides the point though because the actual point is that high bit depth and frequency do not improve audio quality in any way and therefore useless specs when your goal is audio quality.
