Docking station for an iphone

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.   

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.

Mapman, I intend to try this also. Between a UDAC-2 and my phone I can have a portable headphone system.

Thanks chrdhanl37. Your posts and blog were the ticket.
