A teardown of the new Lightning EarPods and Lightning to 3.5mm adapter by Tinhte reveals that they both contain a Digital to Analog Converter chip.
The chip in the Lightning to 3.5mm adapter is labelled 338S00140/A0MU1621/TW but it is from an unknown supplier. The chip in the EarPods Lightning connector is very similar with the marking 338S00140/A0QK1623/TW.
