Best way to connect iPad to integrated amp

I was looking at The Rotel a12 or a14 which says it has an iOS USB port on the front. Anyone have any experience with this amp?

Ipad / iPhone to APPLE  camera adapter
Then camera adapter USB to AQ Dragonfly mini-DAC headphone amp USB 
then output from AQ 3.5mm mini to RCA (L-R) analogue cable.

i have both the AUDIOQUEST FOREST and WIREWORLD cables....the WIREWORLD is a whole step up in performance.
I use the AQ for my system above with mobile headphones but the WW for my connection to my B system integrated amp

I have seen the 3.5 to rca stuff. I was trying to find out if there is a dac/ streamer that bypasses the iPads internal processing. I don’t believe the sound coming out of the headphone jack will be all that great

Stereo5 is correct you need the adapter. They have one that allows you to skip the need for a usb hub and use it with your charger.

For just about the same money as the cable you can get a Klipsch Gate off of Amazon and use your ipad to control the Gate around $30 shipped. 

The sound quality is fantastic and I prefer it over the Bluesound Node 2i I had. 

Before the Node (ive had the node 2 and 2i) I was using an ipad as a streamer with the dacs in a Hegel h160, Outlaw rr2160, Peachtree Nova 150, Centrance Dacmini, Devilsound HD, Jolida Glass and a few others but was not happy with the sound. 

For the price and option to return it you can’t go wrong. 

The iPad doesn’t have a USB port. Won’t work. You need to buy the camera dongle which comes with a USB port and plugs into the lightning connector.
