My setup is similar but with a full size USB B end into my DAC, plus the cmoy just for fun.
HRT has written custom firmware for certain products (the microStreamer) to lower its power draw to make it iDevice compatible. You might check with HRT to see if they have done this for the HeadStreamer -- it is probably not likely but worth a shot. I have tested the iPhone 4/iOS7 + CCK + USB Male Type A to Mini USB Male Type B + HRT microStreamer and it works for 48k sampling rates and lower.
How i can connect the iPod touch 5G to an Portable AMP/Dac?, with the CCK?
The sound doesn't have noise or any issue?, i was read that ''Lightning connector'' doesn't sound ''that good''. But, i don't know much of this. I just want to use the DAC/Amp to drive my HD 598 and SR325is through the iTouch 5G with no issues.
Need some help.
Apologies if this question has already been answered --- I read a bunch of this thread but it is so long!
I gather that with some combination of lightning-to-USB or CCK plus cable it is possible to run the HRT Microstreamer directly off the iPhone 5 or 5S using bus power. My question is, however, how much power drain is there? How long can an iPhone 5 or 5S run in that configuration on a full charge?
Is there any way to set this up so you can charge the phone or provide power to it while it is driving a Microstreamer? For example, suppose you're trying to listen while in a hotel room or some other travel situation. Would a powered hub in there actually charge the iPhone while providing power to the Microstreamer as well? What if you use a passive hub with a cable connected to a power source (like a laptop USB jack) so there is some line voltage coming from outside? Would that charge the iPhone and power the Microstreamer?
Any insight much appreciated.

I don't know if this has already been addressed in this thread, but for those who are looking for a solution to charge their iPhone4/4s/iPads while playing, I believe this device may be of interest. I have a lifeproof case for my iPhone 4S and I was looking simply for solutions for me to be able to use my FiiO E1 and charge my iPhone at the same time.

Just have to make sure that it is the dockStubz+ version with the micro USB charging port on the side. Don't know if this helps anyone, but just thought I'd mention it for those who might want this capability in their setups. And it may help with the "too much power" message possibly...I wouldn't know however.
Of course, after reading this thread...(hears sound of wallet creaking open.....again!)
Sigh.
