That is so true, its the same situation whip makers were in when car were becoming popular. Wireless is so much better especially for portables. If I go hi-fi route I am sure theres tons of options available anyway. Lots of headphone amps do accept digital input already and headphone amplifier circuitry generally sucks, nexus and iphone being not too bad in this department. Another thing is, makers should make digital port extra sturdy. MicroUSB and lighting is pretty good at that already IMO.
