Hi,
So all of you IEM lovers here, now that many new smartphones are losing the 3.5mm jack, what
Are you players/sources?

I'm asking this intentionally in this forum and not in the "dedicated players/amps" forum, since the answer there
Should be more obvious.

Thanx!

You can use a lightning or usb-c to headphone adapter.

I'm using iPhone 8 with Chord Mojo-Poly, love it!

I usually listen right out of the dongle with the iPhone 7 but switch to the USB 3.0 CCK adapter with a JDS Labs C5D when I need to charge. I'm on the fence as to whether or not I should replace the adapter with a less bulky but less durable MFi-spoofing cable.

I just wish there were more V30 alternatives..

I moved to wireless IEMs. Going back to cable while on the go is too difficult for me now.

This. Or the still capable V20 if you want to save substantial money.

Or invest in a set of AKG N5005 which includes BT dongle/adapter. But that's crazy expenditure for a phone.

I have an iPhone 7 and cck3 usb with lightning charge port as well and it is obnoxiously huge. What is a MFI-spoofing cable you’re talking about? I went with a Q1 mark2 for now so I don’t have to use the cck3 adapter

Meenova sells a cable on AliExpress that's split so that it can be used to charge and use a DAC at the same time, but it's a bit pricey for something that could break if you already have an adapter.

I believe the near future will be all wireless.
There are already very good all wireless IEMs and it’s probably just a matter of time until we see more products, including wireless CIEM.
