Is there a single cable I can use to connect this to my iPhone 6 Plus (Lightning connector)? All I can find is this, which is way too short: http://allputer.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=16_287&products_id=2536

MIC1Really? We're still doing the "if it's made in China, it's crap" thing? So many of the amazing electronics I use every day are made in China. They are very good at it now. Having just returned from a month in China, I saw loads of China-only phones, tablets and even cars. They are much better quality than you would expect.
Anyway, from my subsequent research, it seems that the recommended way to connect to an iPhone with Lightning port is to use the newer Apple Camera Connection adapter: http://www.apple.com/ca/shop/product/MD821AM/A/lightning-to-usb-camera-adapter?fnode=3a
Apple states that it's only compatible with iPads, but it's known to work with iPhone 6 & 6 Plus for connecting to DACs. Just combine it with a USB to Mini B cable and you should be good to go. That's what I've ordered now.

dvprkBut then you're not using the DAC, just the amp.

MindJuiceHey MindJuice, I know this is an old post, but did you ever successfully get your Xduoo TA-01 work with your iPhone with a usb cable? There is now a new version of the DAC: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/xduoo-ta-01b-headphone-amp#overview and I just placed an order for one. I am planning to use this with my iPhone 8. Your feedback would be of great help! Thanks and have a great day. P.S. You can try and get a custom mini-usb to ligtning cable from mimic-cables.com.

gtdaquaI mainly bought it to use with my computer, so I didn't pursue the iPhone connection, and also I sold theTA-01 shortly after and bought a WooAudio WA7 Fireflies 2nd gen. :D

MindJuiceHey Mindjuice! In this case (RCA -> 1/8 cable), does tube rolling become non-relevant? I am asking because, the newer model has USB-C interface and connecting to my iPhone 8 did nothing - not even an error message. So, I am thinking of going the RCA->1/8 and changing the stock tube to a Mullard eventually. Is the tube still in use when using RCA as inputs?
