Do you have the meenova cable or something else?
Short adapters work perfectly when you tie the DAC at the back of the device with Velcro or rubber bands. And yes, I was referring to the adaptor mentioned by n2it.
You and I have differing views of ergonomics and aesthetics. I'll leave it at that.

With the meenova cable it connects directly to the iPhone and the nx4 correct? No cck?
Welcome to the forum. Yes, both NX4 DSD and ifi Black are recommended. I can't comment on the others until I test them. For now, I would say you would be safer going with my recommendations.Which among NX4 DSD & Nano ifi BL wl have best sound output & wl b convenient by all means? I m also considering iBasso DX120, xDuoo XD10 Poke & Centrance DACPortable.
I am a fan of having lots of power and as such, I like the NX4DSD better.Which one is better from NX4DSD & ifi Nano BL as per your opinion?
That's why I just left it at saying we "have differing views of ergonomics and aesthetics" -- I'm no fashion expert. It's personal preference, that's all. BTW: Nice job on looking up the username.At the end of the day, it's not about whether you are right (as your username, written in Greek, suggests) or whether I have questionable aesthetic criteria. It's about sharing knowledge and experience that will help everyone enjoy their favorite music in the best way possible.
Normally, I carry an O2 headphone amp and a 3' audio cable the plugs into my iPhone SE or iPad Pro 12.9". If I am forced to get one without a headphone jack in the future, I will likely use the Apple headphone dongle as a line out to feed a desktop headphone amp. Objective measurements of the Apple device analog outputs has shown them to be exemplary, bettering the quality of many outboard DACs.When you want to have the highest quality music on the go, how do you do it? Do you carry an external DAC with a long cable?
Ken Rockwell said:Analysis & Recommendations
As expected, the analog audio output of the iPhone 6S Plus is extraordinarily good. It has only half the distortion of the already extraordinary iPhone 6 Plus.
Apple has more smart people and more resources than any other audio company on the planet, so as we see when it comes to audio engineering, the iPhone easily outdoes many so-called "audiophile" products.
For enjoying music, you will probably get poorer performance if you waste your time and money with outboard DACs or headphone amplifiers; the iPhone already has the best there is.
Why do commercial audio magazines tout external DACs and amplifiers? Because that what their advertisers are trying to sell!
The only reason to get an outboard headphone amplifier for use with your iPhone 6S Plus is if you have high-impedance (100Ω or greater) headphones like the 600 Ω beyerdynamic DT880 which often require more voltage than the 1V RMS maximum from iOS devices. In this case, you still don't need a DAC; the analog output from the iPhone's 3.5mm jack will probably be better than what you'd get fromo an expensive outboard DAC!
Note that there there are MFi certified DACs like the Fiio Q1mkII.
BTW: Nice job on looking up the username.
Native speaker. You have no idea how hubristic it sounds to my ears. I enjoy reading to your comments, nevertheless. Keep it up!
I was more going for pompous rather than hubristic, but it looks like I came close to the mark.Native speaker. You have no idea how hubristic it sounds to my ears.

Haha, have been quietly enjoying "@έχω δίκιο" since I joined the forum.
I don't know whether this is happening by system or wat, but this is second time I hv experienced tht my 2 comments hs been cut!
