Thanks for your responses folks! does anyone have a hypothesis on what controls the output format? Is it the format in which you store the file on your iPhone, or is there a conversion that takes place inside the iPhone so that everything is sent out with the same format?
Questions about digital audio output from iPhones
I was trying to figure out how Dragonfly DACs could work with the analog audio output from an iPhone; apparently, the answer is Apple's Lightning to USB Camera Kit, which allows you to output a digital audio stream to a USB DAC (please correct me if there is another way to get digital output without the Camera Kit). Does anyone know what kind of format(s) the iPhone can output this way? Can it output SPDIF, DSD or PCM? Or is it some proprietary Apple digital audio format?
