You use your phone’s dac to decode music when you listen through analog out = headphones jack.Hi, can anyone shed some light for me on this: some of the listed devices have a dedicated DAC, others don't - what difference does it make? Does it mean that if a BT receiver has a dedicated DAC, it is able to receive a non-decoded mp3 or flac stream and convert it to analog after transmission over BT? Or does the source device still have to decode an mp3 file into analog, then re-encode it to send it over via BT and then the BT receiver/amp decodes it again to send it to the earphones? I'm really lost here, I guess my real question is: if my Bluetooth receiver has its own dedicated DAC, does it still matter what DAC my phone has? Thank you.
Your phone encodes original music file into ldac or any other codec and sends these zeros and ones through bluetooth
