Best Answer:NO. I just discovered that my fantastic Bose QC20 noise canceling headphones DO NOT have in-line control support through the adapter. :-(

Is this lightning headphone jack adapter is capable of putting out 24 bit audio?
Almost every phone is capable of putting out 24 bit audio which is why most CD have better sound like in the studio. It was a rumor that with the lightning hit a phone adapter it will give us lossless, or higher sound quality than the previous iPhone

AnswerIt has a 16-bit DAC which, according to a german magazine that tested the adapter, has a slightly lower audio quality than the 3.5mm jack of the iPhone 6s.

Will using the lightning head phone adapter on a iPhone 6s allow digital music play back.
I understand that using the old 3.5mm jack causes music to be processed from digitial to analog.
Does the migration to the lightning adapter allow music to be digital to the head phones and improved the sound quality.- Asked by Robert S from Renton

If not, that'd hurt because my headphone jack broke from overuse and I can't afford a 50 USD DAC for them.

Does the adapter support Toslink?
Does this adapter support Toslink connection like the headphone output on a MacBook Pro? If so, with or without a mini Toslink adapter?
Also, as many have asked: Can you please specify the specific DAC chip used? The resulting audio quality varies depending on the chip manufacturer/algorithm applied to convert the signals from digital to analog. AKA: The chip is everything
Thanks!- Asked by Jason S from San Francisco

Does it drain the device's battery?
The lightning end leads me to believe that it would connect to the device's power source and lower the battery life quickly.

Does this work with the IPhone 6s?
I use 2 phones and would hate to have to carry 2 ear buds. So disappointed with Apple that I even have to ask this question. Really should give us back our 3.5mm jack.
