Essentially, he is claiming the DAC in the lightening to 3.5 adaptor is better than the DAC in the iPhone 6/6s. He needs to some concrete spec to sustain that claim.

Did it really not touch you guys after your month of usage? If not take an "old" iPhone 6s, it will feel dead in your hands

I totally agree with this. For the other comment about how the home button feels, you really need to understand for the minimum difference in the "feel," you gain a world of difference in interaction with your phone. The sliding action, the scroll box, the toggle switches, etc, etc, everything comes alive. I hope Apple continue to improve on the taptic feedbacks and make them more sophisticated over time. This is really a unique feature on iPhone and it is only the beginning.

I cannot read the first link, and don't trust google translate. The second link is great. It does show the DAC in the adaptor is better. Thanks! The author of this article should have done what was done in the 2nd link and provide those measurements as objective results, as opposed to his "louder/better" conclusion.

My thought is apple intentionally ships the 128 knowing everyone would upgrade on their own. This lowers the entry price point without hurting their profit margin. For the users, throwing away a 128 is less painful than a 256. So it's a win-win. We just need someone to confirm this model has the upgradeable ssd like the 2016 model.
