I’m looking at getting Aeon RTs + Iemagni. Is a Apple dongle dac going to allow the Iemagni to supply enough power, or is the voltage too low?
Thank you!
Hello and welcome, 
I have the Rt too, and I use it mobile with the Nuprime hi mdac.
It’s definitely enough.
I don’t think it will be enough with the Apple dongle. I would look for something better.
Hip dac or wait until the end of October for the Kadas Tea.
If it has to be cheap I would look at the Hidisz products.
Magni Ie will certainly be enough for home.
Sorry, that was poorly worded. I plan to use the dongle instead of a dac for now. I’d connect the dongle to the Iemagni
Would that work?
Yes that would work you must have a 3.5 mm cable to Rca.
You connect the dac dongel to the ipad/iphone/itouch via lightning and connect the 3.5 mm cable male to the female socket.
And the Rca connection into the Schiit iemagni.
Then you have your amplification.
And maybe in the settings, under Music in Eq, set Loundness from the ipad/iphone.
But don’t expect excessive miracles, the Apple Dac is borderline.
If you want to upgrade later, do it there.
It doesn’t matter if it’s an Audioquest Dragonfly, Nuprime hi m dac or Ibasso and what else there is, it will definitely be better than the Apple Dac Dongel.
