Hello.
 
I just bought the Oppo HA-1 amp and I'm looking into different ways to use my iPad as a source.  My initial plan was to use the apple cord to connect via USB and let the amp use it's internal dac and headphone amp.  I see that the amp also provides Bluetooth connectivity:
 
Wireless Audio via Bluetooth - The HA-1 supports Bluetooth Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) with both the standard and aptX® high quality codec. Simply pair your phone with the HA-1 and set music free wirelessly from your mobile phone.

 
As I have always considered Bluetooth as a low quality streaming I'm starting to wonder if I will get the same quality from this Bluetooth connectivity as a connected. Will it be lossless data and provide quality into the DAC?
 
Bonus question: I saw in a review of the amp the following quote:
 
When using the discrete headphone audio path, the sound is magic.

 
Can anybody clarify what that means?
 
Regards,
Johann
