Hello all,
I own a HTC Desire S mobile phone which almost holds my entire music collection on the 32GB micro SD card. So far so good. However, I consider the sound quality of this device using my Grado SR60i headphones pretty bad.
I wonder whether connecting it through bluetooth to bluetooth headphones, might improve the sound. After all, bluetooth is a digital connection, isn't it? So in theory this should bypass the internal dac and amp of the HTC and use the (better?) dac and amp in the headphones. Is this correct? If so, any advice considering the headphones is very welcome.
An even better option would be to connect it to an portable headphone dac/amp and then use my Grado's again. However Android 2.3 does not support that over USB and I doubt that HTC will upgrade this device (made in 2011!) to ICS. Apparently there are no portable dac/amps using a bluetooth connection, are there?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts about this.
