If you look at the back of the HA2 and read its manual which can be found online, you'd know the answer. The HA2 has a special port that's marked "A" and it's used for just the iPhone. Oppo also includes a Lightning cable which, in combination with the "A" port I mentioned, function quite similarly to what you'd get if you use the Camera connection Kit with a normal USB OTG cable.
In fact the xduoo is more convenient than other dac/amp in the sense that it only requires a CCK. My c5d requires a CCK and a OTG cable. Oppo just creates a shortcut by introducing a special port for Lightning.
But in term of sound, I think Oppo is much worse than xDuoo. The more I listen to the HA2, the more I hate its broken trebles, which I didn't notice at first. The HA2 sounds very artificial as a whole IME

Can someone explain how/why the Oppo HA-2 can connect to my ipod classic 160GB (30 pin cable) and ipod nano 7th gen (lightning cable) via USB, but the Xduoo XD-05 can only connect to certain apple devices and needs a special Apple lightning to USB camera cable? :confused_face_2:
