RE: It's not your iPhone. It's several other factors....

Posted by Jim Hodgson on March 21, 2017 at 16:44:18:
Tidal HiFi streaming from iPhone to DragonFly Red (via the original Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter) pretty much changed my life ... or at least changed how I view this whole streaming thing (to which I am also very new).

I started with this configuration as a very convenient portable (headphone) system solution. Then it migrated to my home headphone system. And now something like this is making the leap to my main system. Those little DragonFlies are pretty formidable beasts. And I think that someone could be quite happy streaming lossless from a mobile phone to one of them, connecting to an integrated amplifier like yours via the cable that AbeCollins showed us.

More specifically, and as AbeCollins said, the newer Red and Black versions of DragonFly work directly with iPhone. Do you have one of these -- or an older generation (original or version 1.2)? If the latter, you MAY get it to work with your iPhone with a powered USB hub or the newer Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter (link below) -- which allows for simultaneous phone charging with a connected USB device. (It also clears up some sonic issues that were present with the older adapter.) This is just an informed guess -- but possibly something to try if your DragonFly predates Red and Black.
