Lightning Cables - Official and Custom (welcomed).

Why?

Anyway, You can use a CCK + micro usb cable and that should work.

I dont want to use the CCK cable.

Well, one of the reviews on amazon said it doesn't work with the Oppo ha-2.

A few of my cables actually didn't work with the Oppo Ha-2, the best one that did was my Kero Nomad cable; http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00QDFFKHY

I'll be ordering this one soon; http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00TV6IF8S

Looking for a small/black cable that isn't easily noticable.

i can now confirm that the cable works just fine with my iPhone 6 plus and the Oppo HA-2

Hope this is the right thread. This is not DAC related but I figured you guys would know.
I have an iPhone 5S with a messed up 3.5mm jack. I dropped it and ever since then I really have to push the 3.5 mm plug in with force, although the sound still works. Is there any way you could get a small adapter with Lightning male --> 3.5 mm female jack? Or are there issues with analog/digital output and such?

I am not especially good at this kinda stuff...


Oh right, a DAC is a Digital-->Analog so this is just what I would need, I assume? 

You would need an apple certified lightning to 30 pin adapter ($29.99 US) and a fiio L9 30 pin to 3.5 mm cable ($9.99 US). This is assuming a lightning to 3.5mm doesn't exist out in the wild yet.

Hey, can you measure the dimensions on the lightning connector? The opening on my case is very thin and only seems to fit the Apple oem connector so far.

I do not have any measuring devices for it sadly, but I can provide a few pictures of it so you can see the difference. It is a fair bit thicker at the lightning connector side as you can see:

I'm trying to see how I can get a portable DAC/AMP on my iPhone, bypassing the iPhone's dac/amp, without using the CKK. Is the Cozoy Astrapi my only choice?

 
there are tons of options, just to name a few:
- Teac HA-P50 http://andreweverard.com/2014/07/28/review-teac-ha-p50-headphone-amplifier/
- Onkyo DAC-HA200 http://www.uk.onkyo.com/en/products/dac-ha200-118433.html 
- Creative SoundBlaster E5 http://us.creative.com/p/sound-blaster/sound-blaster-e5 (this might be a pain to stack)
- V-Moda Vamp Verza http://v-moda.com/vamp
- Sony PHA-3 http://www.sony.com/electronics/headphone-amplifiers/pha-3 (and all the other PHA's)
plus the Oppo HA-2 that's metioned earlier.

Awesome to hear! Now, if only I could conjure a few Benjamins out of thin air...

I bet they all sound fabulous. They're all a little too bulky for me. I wish Fiio have a cable for lightning that worked K1 looks ultraportable

I do have the Oppo HA-2 and it's probably the slimmest out there and stacking really nicely with phones.

Can confirm that http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00V2UDHXY does NOT work. Only works for charging.

Here's my setup with the K1 and iPhone 6 - the key is the small custom CCK I built - the K1 attaches to the case magnetically.

That's pretty awesome! Super low-profile too.
How do you have the magnets set up? Is it glued to the case or underneath? Is K1 magnetic?
Also, is the power draw from the k1 noticeable on your battery at all?

 

[Vidal]

The magnet is attached to the K1 with some double sided tape. There's a metal plate on the case which it sticks to, this also doubles up as a mount in the car.

I have noticed a draw on the battery but that could also be down to streaming music. I've just bought a usb battery to top up when required. Unfortunately the music stops when I'm recharging

I just received the FIIO L19 cable from Penon Audio.  I connected it to my iphone 6plus running ios 9.3.2 and the Shanling M2 and FIIO X3II.    Both units were put into DAC mode.
 
And.....nothing.
 
The phone does not give any kind of message at all.  At least with the CCK I usually received some kind of message (too much power, or it actually worked with these units in DAC mode).
 
I conclude that the FIIO L19 is simply not compatible

thats too bad... Looked like a nifty little thing much less bulky than CCK + cable.
