Like most Apple innovations this brings some notable upsides. The 3.5mm jack (technically called
a ‘TRS’ connector) is rarely the bottleneck to audio quality, but the Lightning port will enable a switch
from analogue to digital audio with an exceedingly high lossless stereo 48 kHz digital output and
mono 48 kHz digital input. If you can afford a $1,000 pair of headphones you make well pick up the
difference.


That would be a nice boost to the audiophile market but eventually getting rid of the 3.5mm headphone jack would be really screwing customers. You would need to find some advantages above and beyond audio quality that most people wouldnt be able to hear and even fewer care about.
