Connecting N900--H-E-N to a audio card aka DAC is straightforward, you need the proper drivers as always.
For the iQube I can't find any drivers mentioned (not even for Windows), but it says current from USB is 0.4A (0.3 for charging) - N900 hostmode vboost can't do that and will shut down hostmode. So the chances this device will play nicely with N900 are not too good, unless you use a self/externally-powered hub between them. Even then you first need to find out about a working driver.

cheers
