High End iPhone Cable

Posted by: sailorck on 26 July 2013

Do you guys have any advice for an iPhone to nDAC cable of a decent quality? Should be based on lightning (iPhone 5) connector.
Thanks

I would use the $19 cable from Apple. I know of no deficiencies.

Do you hear something using that cable that you're trying to remedy?

Hello, I'll hijack this thread since the subject is close. What happens if iphone rings while attached to ndac and Spotify is playing?

No, I was just wondering if other cables could be better.

Not quite sure about iPhone5, but I had a convincing demo with a Audioquest Forest USB for iPod cable. Difference was surprising against the stock wire.

I'm confused - unless you are streaming at least CD quality files (a rarity as far as I can tell) isn't the quality of that cable marginal in the scheme of things? G

Everyone in the room will look at you with disapproval and mime "Ssssssh".

: D one hardly can prevent that, now can't they?

I actually wonder that does that turn my system to a phone speaker or just "unplug" the iphone to operate as it is - a phone?
