The article is a bit hard to follow through Google Translate. Do these numbers mean the loss in quality is actually audible? Audiophiles can be very zealous about things that don't make much of a practical difference.
I'm curious if this applies to the bundled lightning EarPods as well, or is exclusive to 3.5mm jack headphones using the adapter. This may be a case of a poorly made adapter.
I struggled a bit with the auto-translated version, especially since the article seems to assume some more knowledge in the terminology than I have.
How has the quality been lowered? Is it that the added resistance of the adapter (the article doesn't mention its capacitance/inductance, so I'd guess that's less significant) interacts with the inductive load of a speaker to create a filter, so now the frequency response is less flat?
