Out of curiosity - why do you want digital signal? From what I've read the default lightning - 3.5mm is properly good.

It’s ok especially for lossy spotify listening with a pair of bose noise cancelling, I use an audioquest dragonfly red for better headphones both with the phone and at the computer.

I bought a pair of Sennheiser HD560S. The Apple dongle can just about drive them by maxing out the volume. Brought a dac/headphone amp to give a bit more headroom.
I use the Apple dongle on IEMs and lower-impedance headphones (it drives Grado's fine).

Forks sake, the third party lightning-USB A OTG cable + Fiio supplied USB A - USB C combo doesn't work either to get digital audio out of my iPhone, also.
Apple y u make it so hard to get digital audio out? With my Mac I had to end up installing a third-party app (Lossless Switcher) to get hi-res out.
Edit - Come back to it, and it now does work with my iPhone, but doesn't want to do hi-res (it's turned on in Music settings)
