You could use a dock that also charges the iPad. There are no more connectors on the iPad :) There's a somewhat outdated blog post on my web site when it's back up again :)
Apple gives no official information whatsoever on this, no wonder, it's not their implementation and results will vary wildly based on the DAC you use. The connection to the DAC is a normal USB audio protocol, I have no idea what exact format is being used there but it will certainly be some kind of PCM. AirPlay uses ALAC for all transmissions. There is also HDMI over lightning connector which will uses other properties, depending on what the accessory implements. All of this entirely depends on the accessory implementation, the only limitation that resides on the iThingy side is the limitation of the supported audio formats, in iOS 7 this was 96kHz, 24 bits, in iOS 8 I actually don't know. Internally iOS supports metrics of up to 192 kHz, 32 bits (although that doesn't mean this is actually what's being used, you just can configure this as the reference frequency). --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 7, the Universal App for iOS 7* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
