Will this work with USB type B DAC connection?
My home DAC unit has a USB type B connection. Will this cable work to bypass the iPhone DAC? The additional cable to complete the connection would be a male usb A to male usb B.
Someone commented that this only works with a DAC that accepts UPS type A. Not sure why this would be the case.- Asked by Michael C from Fairfax

Compatible for use with the Apple USB Ethernet adapter?
I saw that there's no direct lightning to Ethernet adapter out there. But there is the Apple USB to Ethernet adapter. Would I be able to plug this into my iPad mini, then use the USB to Ethernet adapter? Devices connected via Ethernet at my office are blazing fast and would make a huge difference with this. Any response/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Best Answer:Quick answer: No. The Lightning interface does not support ethernet connections. The Lightning to USB adapter is meant for small non powered storage devices like flash drives. You can however, connect a powered USB hub to it and use USB piano keyboards, mics as well as large capacity external hard drives.

Why can't this be used with an Iphone 6?
I'd like to use an external DAC / headphone amplifier with my iPhone 6 but I can't see how to connect it.

Best Answer:This adapter will work with external DAC, as long as DAC is designed to connect to a computer with a standard male USB connector (USB type A). Female USB type A port on this adapter will accept USB cable from DAC. In my experience, externally / self-powered DAC devices work just fine with iPhone 6 and this cable.

Can this be used to connect CME Xkey midi mobile keyboard to iPad mini 2?
Manufacturer(CME) say yes, but I'm still not convinced after all it is a camera usb adapter. Apple sell Xkey in USA but not UK so I'm not getting too far.

Best Answer:I just bought the CME x-key to be used with my iPad Air. Using it with the USB adapter (Lightning to USB Camera Adapter), it works flawlessly with Garage Band on both Mac Pro computer (v.10.6.8) and iPad Air.
I don't see why it wouldn't work with the iPad mini, but I'm not an Apple specialist.
Hope this helps,

Answer
Not easily. There are workaround tricks but they aren't worth the aggravation. There are now USB flash drives that use the Lightning port but they are expensive.
