Rustyspoon - can I ask why you don't want to patch into your audio interface inputs? The absolute cheapest option is to plug your iPad in there and use the interface monitor. A cable like this would probably do it:

I do this all the time with client's cellphones/laptops/etc. As others have mentioned with passive devices, your headphone volume and clarity will take a hit.
