This boggles my mind too. I've had a few friends that are audiophiles that love to use Bluetooth headpones and will argue about the quality of the DAC in the player. And people here talk about the 3.5mm jack being a hack or a kludge. BT was not originally intended to carry high quality digital audio - it was a friggin wireless standard for telephone headsets. Telephone audio quality isn't exactly the world standard for Hi-Fi Audio. I guess the new aptX Lossless codec allows lossless audio - but I'm not sure how many devices support it. All this reminds me of a friend who attended a seminar with Sennheiser for their professional wireless microphone technology. The instructor said something to the effect of, "always remember, never replace a connection with wireless technology where a $10 cable will do. Because, all $10 cables will outperform even $10,000 wireless systems."
