Please tell me there is a better solution for travel

Thanks for the reply... I have 4m miles myself... understand the environment and agree... however is there a better solution than the lightning to USB to DAC configuration? 

The Campfires and Cobalt are a great combo but this connector situ is unacceptable 

What about that setup is unacceptable?

The lightning connector to USB is very cumbersome from pockets to airplane trays... I use it at work as well and even at the desk it is annoying... I was hoping someone knew of a better solution for connectivity from Campfire to DAC to IPhonw.

 yes.    noise reduction headphones is the way to go.

Thanks... I have them... and they do work well... I was just hoping for a better solution to the lightning/USB situ
