the sound card in your computer will have a DAC in it that sends the audio signal through a line level amplifier before sending it to the headphone/speaker jack.

people get special DACs because they think it makes a difference (for the past couple decades, maybe more, it makes zero difference. bargain basement DAC chips are already mathematically perfect). the real difference lies in the line level amp, which may be susceptible to interference which can produce audible noise in the signal, especially if your sound card is integrated into the motherboard

bearing in mind that a high-end DAC and the line level amp together cost about two bucks

your manufacturer had to really cheap out not to get good output.

i used to work for a company making high-end audio equipment for professionals, and the pencil-pushers would fight us designers and engineers over the cost of a $0.73 electret microphone

you'd be surprised how much pressure there is to reduce the BOM cost for phones and tablets and laptops. multiplied over millions of units even a few cents can add up to huge numbers.

i also used to work for a company that made 99 cent plastic poo poo and the managers there would argue about spending an extra dollar or two on plastic dye that would color ten thousand kilograms of the stuff, averaging to like $.001 per product. they'd be "nope, we won't spring for the beautiful saturated forest green, we have to use up the remaining 200 gallons of Electric Puke first"
