This is analog in the sense that it has a Digital to Analog "Cirrus Logic WM8523 DAC"converter and a 3.5mm headphone jack, so does indeed enable analog if you use a wired headphone, and it is absolutely a step in the right direction over shitty bluetooth quality audio.
I discovered Digital-to-Analog converters and vacuum tubes during the pandemic, replaced my whole setup for headphones and speakers after discovering Schiit Audio.
Most flagship phones have removed the 3.5mm headphone jack, leaving you with poor options for audio quality.
USB-C is good for charging but bad for wired headphones: any little movement of the USB-C plug can cause the headphones and sound to disconnect. Bluetooth is also a lot poorer music quality compared to wired connections.
I would if manufacturers stopped removing the 3.5mm jack from flagship phones.
Or if UBC-C wasn’t such a poor experience for wired headphones.
