Has anyone found a way to use the E17 DAC with iPad, other than buying the Matrix converter for over $50? Why does the iPad think USB power is required when charging is "off" on the E17? Very disappointing...

The iPad current limit for the USB CCK is 20 mA. The E17 draws 150 mA (according to a FiiO employee who occasionally posts in this thread.)
