How to do that ? please help. Thanks.

You do not have a Dialog, right? 

For best quality sound, you would need a physical connection via optical. Depending on what type of MacBook Pro you have, you may be lucky as the headphone out is a dual output which allows to connect analog headphones/amplifiers as well as a digital, optical Toslink cable. There is a special cable that would allow you to connect then directly to the optical in of Phantom. If your MacBook Pro does not have this dual output you would need a USB DAC with optical out. Regarding the iPhone I am not aware of an device that would be able to have such low power that you could connect via Lightning (there are some USB DAC that use low power, but the ones I know only have analog output).

You could also probably use some streaming options. But I am not sure what exactly Phantom would accept without Dialog. Maybe some other users could step in?

Innuos Zen Mini MK3 -> (Ethernet / Audioquest Optical) -> Dialog & 2x White Phantom
Pro-Ject Carbon Debut Esprit Turntable with Ortofon Red -> (Cinch/RCA) Musical Fidelity Merlin -> (AudioQuest Optical) to Phantom
Master & Dynamics MH40, Audeze Sine, AudioQuest Dragonfly Red; Remote Control via macOS and iOS devices (Devialet App / Innuos Sense /iPeng / Audirvāna Studio)
