USB-C Digital Route: Audio stays in the digital domain until reaching the external DAC inside the cable or dongle. This shields delicate analog voltages from phone battery electromagnetic interference (EMI) and dirty motherboard power planes.

Why Phone Makers Ditched 3.5mm
Engadget's reporting notes that while removing the 3.5mm jack forced users to buy dongles, USB-C can deliver pure digital streams directly to high-end external DAC chips, bypassing noisy phone internals.
