USB-C supports both digital and analog audio. HDMI only supports digital audio though, so in that case the DAC would be in whatever device you’re plugging the HDMI cable into.
so you want like an adapter that can deliver audio separate from hdmi? like it has a hdmi port and a 3.5mm jack? i think i’ve seen stuff like that but i doubt you’d get a good dac in one of them.

Quick question: USB-C docks with HDMI have their iwn DAC for audio while video gets passed through?
