This is confusing, because the uDac would have the same 5W/1amp USB power requirement as the Headphonia cable. The iPad charging issue is different, it needs 10W/2amp to charge quickly but will charge directly from some newer Macs, it just takes longer. I think.
Anyways it may not be the output power of the iPad/camera kit that is the problem with the DAC cable since the uDac works.
I have a 64gb iPad with 3G, the connection kit, headphonia usb dac cable, and a mustang. It all seems to work, but the sound is very lifeless compared with my macbook pro, headphonia usb dac cable, and mustang. I am using JH16 Pros.
Something is definitely not right about the sound. It may be that the DAC cable draws power out of the computer but can't do it with the iPad. That could be why the iPad can't charge an iPhone with the kit either.

The DAC is definitely not the weakest link. Surprisingly, the headphonia DAC cable is the best portable DAC I've used.
I think the headphonia DAC cable relies on USB power to provide the best quality sound. The iPad does not provide enough power using the connection kit... it's enough to support SD cards and camera connections but not enough to power any device.

The uDAC worked flawlessly with the camera kit. Totally automatic, as you said. Only drawback is that it does drain the battery faster than not using it.
