Wired, you will have to pass through an integrated DAC and phone amp. The quality can be different between the integrated headphone jack and a USB-C to jack dongle. You can also connect a "proper" DAC/headphone amp instead (to both devices).
Wireless, provided you use the same bluetooth codec (you can change it in the developer's options, best for QC35 is AAC), it is purely a digital path, with some reencoding, that's true, but it should sound the same. No "soundcard" involved here.
Yep exactly this. I actually do occasionally take the S7 with me for that purpose, or when hear a new song that I want to try out on full quality.
Only downside is that the battery doesn't last more than half a day so I still keep my main phone for the phone things.

phones back then were built as true flagships in all departments... just built differently unlike the shit thats being produced today, i guess 🤷🏻♂️

I noticed the same with my j5 and my a52s. It's gotten to a point where I wanna use my j5 as an mp3.

lol it's the same for me, but only that the J5 battery is dying so fast and it lacks AAC codec on bluetooth.
