I'm not sure to what extent this is really an issue. A lot of the pricier headphones and IEMs have detachable cables, so it will only be a matter of buying a new cable. For the others, I'm quite sure there will be adapters for 3.5mm to USB/Lightning/other standards. Another thing of note is that most people with 'HiFi' headphones also use DAPs as source and not mobile phones. Unless 3.5mm jacks are phased out of those, there won't be any issues at all.
Man cuts off 3.5 plug.. man buys new plug.. man solders new plug on.. man listens to music again.
Can't be done. There are no analogue channels in the Lightning spec, only digital out.

but i'm sure Lightning spec inhibits DAC compatibility .....how long will it take for alibaba to come out with simple L-to-DAC?
Lightning -> Camera Connection Kit -> DAC should suffice for now.
Why can't DAC companies produce cables that take Lighting input...
Probably licensing or some stuff.
