Please tell me there is a better solution for travel

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

LavriCable used to make a lightning to Dragonfly adapter that’s a little smaller and more flexible than the Apple Camera adapter, and it sounds a lot better too — more transparent with better 3D imaging and larger soundstage.  Mine was about $115 and maybe they’d still make you one if you ask as they do seem open to doing custom cables.
