Q: Will this allow a microphone input, Or is it just for output?
A: The mic needs a TRRS 3.5mm connector. If it's just TRS it doesn't work.
Q: What’s the bit depth and sample rate for the DAC? And how does it compare to Apple?
A: Thank you for your inquiry! The Insignia™ Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Adapter likely features a basic digital-to-analog converter (DAC), but Insignia does not publicly disclose its exact specifications such as bit depth or sample rate. Based on similar third-party adapters, it’s reasonable to assume it supports standard CD-quality audio at 16-bit/44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. In contrast, the Apple Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Adapter is known to support 24-bit/48 kHz audio, making it compatible with Apple Music’s lossless audio tier. While neither adapter is designed for high-end audiophile use, Apple’s version offers superior audio fidelity and cleaner output, making it a better choice for users who prioritize sound quality.
