I always thought the Audiophile option was an external DAC? Though the DAC that iOS devices have shipped with was traditionally quite strong. I have an Oppo HA-2 and it works great with my iOS devices (though i use it as a portable amp for my work computer). There's also the likes of Audeze who are shipping Headphones and Earphones with a Lightning cable DAC in addition to the usual 3.5mm TRS jack.

Depends. I am not a crazy audiophile so I am happy with the DAC in the iPhone 6s. http://www.kenrockwell.com/apple/iphone-6s-plus-audio-quality.htm http://www.kenrockwell.com/apple/iphone-6s-plus-audio-qualit...

Quoting from the article I linked you: >>Analysis & Recommendations >>As expected, the analog audio output of the iPhone 6S Plus is extraordinarily good. It has only >>half the distortion of the already extraordinary iPhone 6 Plus. >>Apple has more smart people and more resources than any other audio company on the planet, so as >>we see when it comes to audio engineering, the iPhone easily outdoes many so-called "audiophile" >>products. >>For enjoying music, you will probably get poorer performance if you waste your time and money >>with outboard DACs or headphone amplifiers; the iPhone already has the best there is.
