Sorry if this is the wrong forum but I was wondering if DACs/DAPs have a significant difference in sound quality? If so, how do the components work to produce a better sound? Also, what differences would I be hearing? (e.g. detail/clarity/balance?) Thanks!

Each one of them have their own unique mix of electronic components and circuit designs.

Generally, some designs would be better put together than others. Not every designer would have the same skill as another. Some designs have components selected to produce better cost to consumers at the expense of some quality, some would be money-no-object creations. Its a crazy world out there. They'd sound differently in terms of everything - detail, clarity, balance, whatever parameter you can think of.

Would there be any advantage to a headphone amp through a car stereo system?

It would be to your advantage to use something with a proper line-out if you're going the wired route. I find Bluetooth more than acceptable for in the car though.
