FiiOLT-LT3 USB Type C to Lightning Cable 0.7ft Supports Lossless for iOS/Headphone Amp

I wanted something I could pack with my IEMs and Qudelix Q5. Lugging around the comically huge Apple Camera Connection Kit and separate USB A-to-C cable was just not doing it for me.This cable worked perfectly. I was skeptical because I have a FiiO Q3 which has a similar cable but it only works with FiiO products. I’m happy to report this cable works great with my Qudelix Q5 and other DACs that I’ve tried as well. It also works fine with my FiiO Q3.My iPhone detects devices immediately, and the Lightning side snaps in well to my device.The cable is about 8” (20cm). It’s a nice balance between portability and not being so short that you can’t move your device without moving whatever is attached to it.It’s an extremely flexible cable and seems well built with decent amounts of strain relief. If I had any complaints it would be that it’s so pliable it can be a little hard to wrap. It was also a little pricey for what you get. Hopefully it will last a while!

I bought this FiiO data USB-B to Lightning cable to input high resolution audio from my iPhone to my new iFi (What’s this with the weird capital letters in company names? Right??) HipDac 3. Shown in the photo is the FiiO cable alongside the included iFi cable. Both cables work perfectly and both sound great, but the FiiO cable is far more flexible yet sturdy and long enough to accommodate the iPhone-DAC pairing more comfortably.

I’m not a huge believer in audio cables sounding different when it comes to digital audio cables. For some reason this cable sounds completely different and better than the stock one that comes with fiio devices.Until it stopped working. It was used lightly and carefully. I’m guessing I got 10 uses out of it. It shows no wear at all, still looks new.

The best part of this cable is it's length and flexibility. The problem with the typical dongle cables (usually about 10 cm) is that the very short length results in a very small curvature when bent, placing greater strain on the connectors and the wire. The consequence of that strain contributes to reduced long-term durability.The LT-LT3 offers a rare length (20 cm) for a USB cable: long enough to provide strain/bend relief while still short enough for reasonable cable management.The only problem is that the Lightning connector is sligthly too small, allowing for enough wiggle that the DAC may disconnect. It's not horrible...I've tried cables that are so loose that they are unusable except when sitting perfectly still with the phone and dongle placed on a stable surface. The FiiO cable's Lightning cable makes a firm enough connection that it can endure some movement but there are movements or positions that can cause a disconnect.I split the difference here, giving the LT-LT3 high marks for the quality of the wire/sheathing but docking it 2 stars for the wiggle in the Lightning connector.

This is a much better length that the cable included with my FiiO Q3. I can actually pick my phone up and look at it without dragging the DAC a few inches. It's not a long cable bit it is just long enough to make my use a lot easier.

Cable length is perfect, materials are all aluminum and very high quality rubber though I'd feel a bit worried if it snagged on something. Insulation is vastly superior to a few other OTG cables I bought on amazon in the ~$15 price range - able to power my Sennheisers at only 20% volume output from the phone where the previous crap OTG I bought needed to be at %60. Price seems high for what it is but it's really the only choice available on the market right now. Highly recommended for audio enthusiasts. ALSO on the previous 2 cables I tried the lightning port on the iPhone 14 became very hot. The Fiio cable generates no heat whatsoever. Hope this review helps - OTG is the most inconvenient thing ever.

My problem was my DAC not the cable.

Other than the short cable included with the Hip DAC 3, this is the only USB C to Lightning cable that works. I have bought several others, but it is the only 3rd party cable that works. No real feel for durability (brand new) but it looks and feels good.

Muy buen producto. Funcionó con el Lotoo paw s2

Hatte am Anfang nicht ganz verstanden das man auch das Kabel zum Fiio mit bestellen muss. Egal jetzt läuft alles bestens.

I was amazed how difficult it was to connect my Hiby DAC to an iOS device. This connecting cable, however, did the job perfectly well. I was also amazed how rare any such item is online, with the only alternative I found being Apple's own, which was even more over-priced than this. The cable is quite short and flexible which suites the job, and the resulting sound quality was stunning, albeit in part because of the DAC itself. If you don't need 1-2 metre length of cable this is a much better option than Apple's, both because of it neatness and the black colour which matches most devices better. At £12.00, I am still left wondering why we should pay so much for such a simple connection. Thankfully the quality makes up for the frustration.
