    My phone doesn’t have a headphone jack but has an FM radio. It took me ages to 1) realise I needed a pass through cable without a DAC and 2) find a pass-through cable without a DAC.

      Does it use the cable wire as the antenna, and that didn’t work through an external DAC?

        Yes exactly, so you need a special kind of usb-c adapter that doesn’t have an external DAC.

        Most adapters, even the cheapest, have a dac because a lot of phones (mostly iPhones) don’t support audio pass through mode.
