No mention of the DAC quality of any of the models. I’d hope the Sony one is decent.

I got the Xperia 1 VI, the headphone port seriously lacks power. It’s like half of what i’d expect from a phone. They might have bent a knee to some EU regulation. All my older cheaper phones could drive my larger cans, this one doesn’t leave much headroom.

Sony

Can’t trust them ever again. Had an XZ Premium, and they took away Miracast in an update.

And I’m still not over them taking away Linux support on the PS3…

Is that a big concern in 2024? Devices are much more powerful and audio is cheap and easy.

You’d be surprised. Good quality compact DACs are very expensive unless the manufacturer engineers a better version.

Are they though?

This isn’t the 90’s. All it needs to do us produce an analog stream.

It isn’t so much power because that’s cheap and easy. It’s the hardware processing the data. A DAC is what decides whether or not sound is clear at any given volume, and the cheaper ones have a tendency to distort or otherwise suck as volume increases

That sounds like a dated idea. Modern hardware shouldn’t have any issues creating an audio stream.

I can’t speak on the xperia 1 vi, but I have the 1 iii and the DAC is great.
