IPod Touch 5th Gen to an external DAC?

Is there any way to connect my IPod Touch 5th Gen to an external DAC? The old 30 pin interface supported docks with digital outputs. Is there a similar Lightning interface solution?

I heard mention that one could network (Airplay?) with an Airport Express and connect the Airport Express to a DAC via its Toslink connector. What I'm trying to do is to stream from Tidal (Lossless) via the iPod, bypassing it's internal DAC and headphone amp. Does this sound "doable"?
