MPC X/Live in controller mode with Loopback works like a champ, but I'd like to work primarily in standalone mode. What's a production-grade approach for pulling hifi samples from iOS without piling on another audio interface? The lightning to 3.5mm "adapter" that comes with recent iOS devices is a definite .

I’ve been using a Harmon cardon Bluetooth device which works well. It’s probably not the absolute best quality but sounds pretty good to me and nice not having a cable trailing around. Thought it might be of interest.
