I didn’t support the loss of the 3.5mm jack at the time, but at this point? Digital is obviously the future, I see no reason why I should be held hostage by the atrocious DAC included in my phone when my nice headphones can do so much better.

Bluetooth vs Wired is still a discussion worth having but defending the 3.5mm headphone jack is where you lose me. Headphone manufacturers should have hopped to USB as a standard a long time ago and they didn’t solely to milk more money out of analog audiophiles.
