Compatible mobile Amps/Dacs for the iPhone 5

My old iBasso D3 "Python" from 2008 rather surprisingly works with my iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4  through a lightning to USB camera adapter. 
I guess recent changes in Apple's policies and iOS 7 made this possible. There would probably be a lot of other USB-DACs that possibly works with iPhones now...

Ive just tried it and yes the iPhone 5 on iOS 7.0.4 with the standard lightning cable does work with the original CLA. 
Happy days!! lol now I need ANOTHER digital LOD :)

Cypher Labs Algorhythm Solo.


Cool :)

I got to save up some money to buy that thing, because at the moment I'm using Fiio E12 and E11 with my Westone W4 so far I'm happy with those two.

I wonder if CLAS can be far better than the Fiio E12 ?

Just wondering if anyone heard about a recently launched cayin c6

Which uses OPA2134 and WM8741
It's height is similar to iphone 5

DAC supports idevices including iphone 5.

Best of all it's more affordable then Cypher, go dap etc.

What about Fiio Kunlun E-18 ?
does the DAC works for iPhone or IOS device ?

I don't think any portable Fiio DAC works with IOS.


Yes you are right. I guess iOS or Apple device users must buy the higher price item like VModa or Cypher Labs DAC :-/

  My FiiO e07k Andes works with my iphone 5s on 7.0.4 using the CCK --> USB A to Mini B adapter --> Andes. Would figure that this kind of setup would work with the E11, and E12 as well. 

Those are just amps, they need LODs, not USB ports.

Has anyone else been able to try this out?  With different DAC/Amps?
 
This almost seems to good to be true!!  Circumventing Apples stranglehold with nothing more than a $30 cable.
