There is absolutely no way that you could get a good DAC into either a
phone or a pair of ear phone/buds.
maybe not the phone, which is very space constrained, however, that's
not an issue with headphones, which have plenty of space for whatever
dac and whatever else you might want:

even earbuds, which aren't known for the best sound quality, could have
an inline dac that would never fit into a phone.
you're describing one way a digital headphone jack is better.
I've recently been through the trauma of finding a good DAC and I
stand by my comment. Sure there are tiny and low priced DACs but they
sound like crap. Anything worthwhile is far too large and expensive to
use in consumer head phones.
nonsense,
with a digital headphone jack, you can use whatever dac you want (not
that you can hear a difference), whether it's an integral part of the
headphone or a standalone box.
with an analog headphone jack, you're stuck with whatever dac is in the
device. there is no way to get a digital audio stream.
your comments support the transition to digital headphone jacks.
My comment was derived from the thought of the kind of DAC a
manufacturer would install in a pair of ear buds.
