RE: Probably not 'on par' for those looking for higher quality sound....

"With the iPhone, a digital audio signal is sent directly to the DAC via the Lightning connector on the bottom of the iPhone. So the iPhone is acting strictly as a transport completely bypassing it's own internal DAC and analog section."

This is also how AudioQuest DragonFly Black and Red as well as Geek Out V2 do things.

I think they're marvelous BTW. And I no longer care (if I ever did) that iPhones are losing their 3.5mm headphone jacks. I wouldn't listen to my iPhone -- which I now consider a worthy portable source -- without one of these devices ever again.
