Docking station for an iphone

What drove my interest in this was that I have a friend who streams Pandora via his iphone. As I am now helping him set up a macbook pro as a music server I will advise him to use that instead. I remain interested in the options for iphone use however. Thanks to all for this discussion.

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

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.

So use lightning adapter with USB cable to powered USB hub with USB cable to DAC.  I have a Doukmall USB cable that separates USB power from audio signal which might also work in place of the hub.

I will likely be trying the apple camera adapter and powered sub hub sometime soon.
