Thanks for responding. I’m already using the apple USB camera adapters for the dragonfly DACs so it’s not an extra purchase, but as the Audioquest carbon cable I have (for my HA-2 SE) is already lightning male (with relative chip) to USB-A male wouldn’t the addition of a dragontail (USB-A female to micro-USB male) allow me to connect the iPhone to the hugo2 as follows:
iPhone physically connected to male lightning termination of cable. The other end of the same cable (male USB A termination) physically connected to female USB A termination of dragontail. The other termination of the dragontail (male micro-USB) connected to female micro-USB on the Hugo2. Would this not work for some reason?
A single cable straight from lightning to micro-USB would obviously be the ideal solution but in the meantime would the above actually work?
I’m not familiar with the specifics of those cables but as far as I’m aware the only cable that allows USB devices to be attached to an iPhone is via the camera kit because it has a special chip in it. The other issue is the dragontail is an OTG cable which is supposed to be plugged micro-side into the host device. The Hugo would be the guest in this scenario.
