Best way to connect iPad to integrated amp

Hello all,
i recently began the foray into using my iPad a music server. What is the best way to make this happen?
is something like the Audioquest dragonfly a good way to go? I’m not sure how to make the interface work? Do you use the aux input with an external dac?
Thanks for your help and input

Ipad / iPhone to APPLE  camera adapter
Then camera adapter USB to AQ Dragonfly mini-DAC headphone amp USB 
then output from AQ 3.5mm mini to RCA (L-R) analogue cable.

i have both the AUDIOQUEST FOREST and WIREWORLD cables....the WIREWORLD is a whole step up in performance.
I use the AQ for my system above with mobile headphones but the WW for my connection to my B system integrated amp

I think you will have to go the APTX ( bluetooth )  way to get music out of your Ipad with a good sound quality.

I was looking at The Rotel a12 or a14 which says it has an iOS USB port on the front. Anyone have any experience with this amp?
