I'm too cheap or broke for something in the $1K range, but I do have a device that should do what you want. It is the Oppo HA-2 Portable Headphone Amp/DAC/Swiss Army Knife :) . If the iPhone has a lightning connector (newer models), you can connect the HA-2 to the iPhone via the supplied cable and use the mini-RCA plug-in on the other end as a line out. $299 plus your personal mini-RCA to stereo RCA pair cable. I use one as a DAC for both my iPod Touch and my Samsung Galaxy Tab A connected to a pair of Sennheiser HD-600s for streaming listening. The HA-2 connects to these devices to get the digital stream bypassing the analog outputs which are not really high quality. I also use it as a headphone amp only using the line out on my older Oppo BDP-95 to headphones when I want to listen to CDs/SACDs via headphones. There are a lot of reviews on their site for this product on their site (link below). The only downside is that you would have to charge the device every once in a while, or possibly leave a charger connected continuously. The unit is small, about the size of an iPod Touch only a little thicker.

I was just looking at this month's STEREOPHILE and came across the ad for this device and it puzzled me at first, as they don't describe what it is too well...at least not upon first glance.
Looks pretty cool. I didn't know the price, but $300 seems reasonable?
Thanks for your post!

while using it. It's really a well thought out device.
