    How to? iPhone --> USB dongle DAC --> [BT LDAC/Aptx] --> BT headphones?

    Is it a matter of swapping for a cable with a mic, and plugging that into the Apple lightning to jack dongle connected to an iPhone 13 Mini? Can you make a recommendation for the cable (I'm in NL, EU), preferably with a button for interaction and volume buttons?

So I wanted to ask if I can actually get a better sound...

    iPhone Not Recognizing Sennheiser HDVD800

    I would appreciate some help here. For many years, I’ve connected my iPhone to my HDVD800 through the camera connection kit to a USB B. For the past few days, my phone has stopped recognizing the amp. I replaced the camera connection kit, but to no avail. I’m thinking maybe it’s a software...

    What're the best 3.5mm to lightning Portable (DAC) adapters available for newer iPhone?

    Question about Lightning to 3.5mm adapters

    Since Lightning is a digital out, it stands to reason that the little dongle Apple sells contains some kind of DAC. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.) And from my casual listening it's pretty mediocre, at least when you compare new Apple Lightning buds vs old buds with the Apple dongle. At least...
