Our take
SMSL Lightning Connector DAC/ headphone amp is completely different from the Apple model. Handles Hi-Res, which is not the case of the Apple's lightning to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter.
- Built-in high quality mic
- Supports all functions and buttons of Apple earpods
- Recovers 48kHz digital audio output from your Apple devices without any loss
- Sound reproduction is sharp, precise and spacious in which you hear all the small details

Product details
A simple, inexpensive way to improve the sound quality from your iPhone or another iOS device, the SMSL Icon Lightning DAC/amp is built small to go everywhere you do.
The compact housing has an integrated microphone, a metallic gray finish, and asymmetrical beveled edges for a hint of style. On the top panel, three buttons allow you to control the volume, answer calls, and play, pause, or skip a song—and a small LED indicates on/off status and blinks during music playback.
There’s a 3.5-millimeter jack to connect your headphones on one end, and on the other, an 11.8-inch Lightning cable to plug into your device. Finally, the SMSL Icon offers full-function support for Apple earbuds and is iOS app ready for future firmware updates.
