How do I connect my new iPhone 15 Pro to DAC?

have a DAC and want to connect my iphone 15 to it, previously on lightening phones i had to use the camera adaptor. so when it was announced the 15 would have usb c i assumed it would connect with just a usbc to mini usb cable like it does on android!


this is not the case, can someone tell me how i can connect these together??


i really hope i don’t have to use the lightening camera adaptor and then a lightening to usbc adaptor at £30 from apple because that is ridiculous!!!!!

The port is configured for USB C analog devices unless you go to USB Audio Accessories and choose "Forget All USB Audio Accessories" and then re-insert your DAC or dongle and DO NOT choose "headphones". When it prompts, choose "Other". Outputs digital for DACs, Apples $9 dongle, etc.


Was driving me crazy until I figured that out - it's still nuts how Apple tries to over-simplify this and for me extra nuts as I came from Android which gives you insight and extensive control over the USB C port. But it works now...
