Apple's High Impedence Output vs Dedicated Dac/Amp (alien.top)

So, Apple just posted this listing of their list of Mac Products that ship with High Impedence Headphone output including their lowest end M2 Mac Mini.

https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT212856

Anyone who have used these inbuilt dac/amps as well as dedicated high end dac/amps? If you have, what are the sonic differences for a dedicated dac/amp? is it worth it?

Have apple solved the Amplifier requirement for a regular consumer?

The “amplifier requirement for a regular consumer” is dramatically overblown in general, but yes it’s a very solid headphone jack.
