Re: using my usb headroom headphone amplifier with my iphone

Hi!
I’d agree.
This is a real disadvantage with all apple products running Ios.
If you do it with a mac then thats a different story.

using my usb headroom headphone amplifier with my iphone

[André van Deventer]

Hi all



Was just wondering about something.  I have a very high quality USB headroom
headphone amplifier of about 10 years old.  This little amp has a USB input.
I was wondering if it is possible by using some kind of adaptor to use this
little amp with my iphone 5s using the lightning connector.  I would like to
try and bypass the DAC of the iphone.



Regards



André

Hmm.. you’d have a better chance at doing something like that with an Android 
phone with a USB port rather than an iPhone.

The best you could do with an iPhone is purchase the Camera Kit and literally 
“Plug And Pray” .

That’s one of the huge disadvantages about IOS, the system is closed and 
totally controlled by Apple.

Android on the other hand is a totally different story - some might say that 
Android is too open - .

I have with my Samsung Galaxy Note4 used all sorts of things via the USB port 
and an adapter, Headphones, Keyboards, Memory sticks, Hard Drives and Powered 
Hubs and the flexibility can only increase as Android manufacturers include the 
USB C standard onto their devices as time marches on.
