Usb DAC power

[j dub]

My question is can I get power to a usb dac by coming out of the headphone port of a ipad

using a 3.5mm to usb cable?

Do you mean power (as in 5v dc) or a signal? The answer is no in either case. You can, however hook them up using a dock to USB cable, and go into the DAC that way. I am not positive if this works with all DACs, but I know it does on some. What model DAC do you have, and what gen. Ipad? Also, would you be playing files that are on the ipad, or using the ipad as a streaming device?

I will be playing files from my ipad 3 with retina display. I have the schitt magni headphone amp

and planing on buying the modi usb dac I'm pretty sure I can get power to the dac by coming out

of the ipad using a 30 pin to usb connecter. The problem that I would face is how to keep the ipad charging. Is there a 30 pin to usb splitter cable that will allow me to charge the ipad and get

usb power to the dac.

This would allow for that, I'm pretty sure. Doesn't look like this particular brand is built well, but there must be other powered docks available.
