Review: Audeze Sine delivers planar magnetic magic to the masses
All modern audio amplifiers (even in phones) are considerably better distortion wise than the headphone/earbuds that we connect to them,
regardless of the number of bits employed in the DAC. Its doubtful that lightning headphones will have any noticeable audio improvement over
their analog counterparts, although that not a good reason not to use lightning headphones.
The major drawback with lightning is going to be output voltage for high impedance and peak current for low impedance devices, Even this
difficulty will be overcome by tailoring the impedance and efficiency of the drive units to the available voltage and current.
Battery consumption will not be a problem as the extra power required for the Lighting adapter is compensated by the reduction in the phone
not having these audio components.
For Audiophiles, powered DACs with a lighting port should be the way to go (with a high price tag) a high price always makes audio sound
better. -
Take a stand against the Obama/FBI anti-encryption charm offensive
There is a possible solution, maybe difficult, but if Apple could create a unique hardware based encryption key for every individual device, this could then be split in two, Apple could hold one half of the key and the other half could be held by FBI/Government/other agency. The two halves of the key could only bought together with a court order and the physical presence of the device. Even if both halves of the keys were stolen it would be useless with out the actual physical device.
