And the adapter is digital, right? Phil said the Lightning port was great for "digital audio". They have to cram a DAC in each one? I could just about tolerate a very simple small analog adapter, but this is going too far.

Every Lightning connector is already active. Adding a DAC probably doesn't increase the cost per each by much.

A DAC with an amplifier good enough to power those little headphones fits into the control box on the cord.
