Hey guys, Hanafuda here. I've been registered at head-fi a long time, but mostly just have stupid questions bi-annually.
Today's stupid question ... my understanding is that bluetooth cannot transmit an analog stream, so bluetooth headphones must be receiving unconverted digital data from the source, and have their own DAC? Amirite about that? If so, does it even matter what the source is? I mean, it could be a PC, any bt-capable cellphone you like, a high-end DAP like Onkyo DP-X1A ... wouldn't they all be sending the same digital stream via bluetooth to the headphones??
I know BT is not kosher for SQ, but I'm sure that's changing and besides we're talking portable here.
