No one except everyone. It's well defined that most DACs are snake oil and premium reviewers can't tell the difference. Yes you need an AMP for bigger cans but the Dac is fine. I say this with a Shiiit Magni and Planar magnetic HE400's. I can't tell the difference between my Mackie Artist, MacBook Pro 14 headphone Jack, and of course the lightning adaptor.

Have you tried it? Wonder how it would affect that sound quality using an adapter.
No, all my devices have a jack, but I know my next phone probably will not, so I will use one then because I have too many wired headphones to not use them. I only use my phone as a source in portable situations such as working in the yard or in the car with other people, and in those situations any difference in sound quality probably would not be noticeable.

The adapter that came with my one plus has excellent sound quality. You can also get a pretty small DAC AMP like the Fiio K1. If you really want great audio quality.

Ken Rockwell writes on the lightning version [here]: "…This tiny Apple device has better performance and more and cleaner output than many fancier audiophile devices I have tested. Apple has more resources to make better stuff than the smaller companies. Most 3rd-party headphone amps and DACs, all be they bigger and far more expensive, put out less clean power into 32Ω loads, and do it with more distortion, poorer sound and lousier frequency response..."
Audio Science Reviews measured and reviewed the USB-C version [here]. According to them, the Apple adapter beats the Google Pixel V1 and V2 dongles as well as the thumb-drive-sized $99 Audirect Beam. They measured the Apple's output impedance at 0.9 ohm (compared to the 7.6 ohm of the Google Pixel V2 dongle).
The Headphone Collector also analyzed the USB-C version [here]. He writes: "…Neutral, clear, clean and very precise. Basically as audibly transparent, good-sounding and clean-sounding to my ears as it gets. Precise and tight bass reproduction with sensitive multi-BA in-ears.
…
Seriously, there's absolutely no subjective sonic fault that I could find, regardless of price. In other words, excellent transparent performance regardless of price. There is absolutely no reason at all to pay more for a USB DAC, at least purely based on sound quality with headphones."
