After a recommendation on this site to consider using an Apple USB-C dongle as an external DAC (with a USB-C female to USB-A male adapter), I'm now curious if there's any reason to choose one USB output jack over another between the USB jacks on my thinkpad yoga vs the thinkpad onelink dock. I seem to recall reading that using a dock's USB jack might have some perceived benefit, although I've also read that dock jacks often don't shield as well as laptops, so I'm not entirely sure. I've tried both and seem to notice minor differences, but nowhere near as much as the difference between using the external dongle-DAC vs the laptop headphone jack, for example. Just curious if there's a standard recommended approach. Thanks, as always.
