Docking station for an iphone


Is there a docking station that can retrieve the digital audio signal from an iphone to be sent to a DAC?

I’m using a powered usb hub with the lightning adapter with an Ipad Air 2. I use a Halide dac as well as the built in dac in my integrated amp. Works very well streaming Deezer and is dead quiet. I am considering getting an ifi usb 2.0 hub to see if further improvements can be had.
One product that may be of interest is the "Shift" from Peachtree Audio. It is a portable battery powered usb dac that will also charge your phone. Apparently it was designed specifically for iphones.

The lightning connection coupled with a usb hub will work for an iphone as well.

As long as your device see's it as being self powered you should be fine. When I researched this about a year ago I found this blog which has some good info.
