[QUOTE="GoodEnoughGear, post: 1009471, member: 18304"] There is a DAC in your headphones already, that converts the BT digital signal. Anything transmitting bluetooth is transmitting digital, not analogue. So if you did have a DAC/Amp that did this, it would decode the digital signal over USB from your PC to analog and then immediately re-encode using the Bluetooth CODEC and transmit that digital signal to your headphones. That decode and re-encode would result in a non bit-perfect signal and lose fidelity. [/QUOTE]
