Still waiting on my headphones to come in, but ran into an issue. I didn’t realize there may be issues running a Dac and amp through the iPhone, which is essentially my only source of music.
Schiit offers this solution. My question is should I be using the Analog or digital option for the best sound and comptablility?
Connecting to an iPhone or iPad
Analog: Some iPhones and iPads can be can connected to a preamp or headphone amp via the headphone jack. You can do this with the following cable:
1/8" to Dual RCA Cable
Digital: If you have an iPhone running iOS7 or above or iPad running iOS6 or above with the Lightning connector, you can use the Lightning to USB 3 Adapter from Apple, or the Lightning to USB Adapter from Apple, together with a powered hub to avoid the "this device draws too much power" error. You'll also need a USB cable. Links for these are below:
Apple Lightning to USB 3 Adapter (allows for charging of the iOS device)
Apple Lightning to USB Adapter (needs an external hub)
USB A-B Cable
Fancy USB A-B Cable
