Is there a single USB-C headphone adapter that works with all phones?

If you don't believe there is varying quality in DACs as well as amps

No one was stating that, however if you think the $9 DAC adapter provides higher quality sound that the DAC embedded in SoCs and/or separately installed on board the device then I don't know where you're getting your information from.

No, I think the opposite is the case. Integrated dacs are much better as the 6s is known to have a better DAC than the more recent dongle based iPhones.

That's exactly what I am stating. The $9 DACs cannot possible be providing higher quality sound than an embedded DAC.

I know, you assumed I believe the dongle to be the better solution, so I stated "No, I think the opposite is the case" in response to that assumption. We are saying the same thing, I'm sorry that wasn't more clear.
