Is my music source going through the amplifier's DAC when connected through bluetooth?

Hi guys!
I own a Cambridge CXA60 amplifier with DAC integrated (originally bought to drive my pair of Tannoy XT6F).
Say that I connect the amplifier and my phone via bluetooth (through Cambridge's bluetooth dongle). Is the digital music played by my phone converted to analog signal by my phone's DAC or the Cambridge CXA60's DAC?
 
Thank you so much for your help, guys!
Have a nice day!

  Wouldn't bluetooth be a digitial signal that would be received by the CXAC60 that would then be converted to analog and fed to the amplifier? So the Digital to Analog Conversion would be in the CXAC60

Yeah..that's exactly what I think...plus the fact that the sound that comes out is pretty good! I really think it's the cxa's dac behind it....
 
Can someone else confirm this?
Cheers
