Google our friend is doing its best, I had trouble finding it too and I can only assume that - given the device has only been available for less than two months - it hasn’t made its way outside the United Kingdom yet. > On 8 Jan 2016, at 11:17 AM, Mary Otten wrote: > >

Also have a look at Ruark Audio and see if they might have something to suit. Yes, Docks are disappearing as people prefer Bluetooth or Airplay. Deion also have the Cocoon DSD501 still available which you may consider. > On 8 Jan 2016, at 6:12 AM, John Gurd wrote: > >

I've just ordered one of these to use with my iPhone 6 and B P7 headphones. It's a combined IPhone battery boost case, headphone amplifier and lightning DA converter. The P7s sound great, but they sound even better with a little help. I've been using a FiiO Kilimanjaro portable headphone amp

Thanks Dane, I'll check this out. I've looked at B ones as you suggested. Although they have AirPlay none has Digital out. Come to think of it, I wouldn't be surprised if digital out is forbidden by Apple's licence to use their proprietary lightning connector. It would be too easy to record DRM

Actually now I think of it I think you’re quite right about the digital out and my fault as I was thinking about digital in. There are of course products from that wonderful firm Arco that will take an Airplay signal from an Apple device and give you a digital out connection, the Apple Airport

I must say I’m tempted to get one of these myself given both the price tag and the capabilities of the device so I’m off now to see where it may be available in Australia. > http://www.whathifi.com/news/arcam-musicboost-adds-headphone-amp-dac-and-battery-pack-to-iphone-6 > >
