iPhone connection

...Annoying too why Devialet does not have normal USB input.  

I'm not sure why you say that: the Devialet has a Type B connector which is absolutely the right thing, given that it's a USB peripheral device.  I guess what you mean is that this makes it difficult to find a cable that will directly connect your iPhone to the Devialet.  This is by design, because the iPhone is (normally) also a USB peripheral device so a direct connection between them wouldn't do anything useful.  (Roughly speaking, leaving aside On-The-Go, a USB connection needs to be between a host and a peripheral to work properly.)
