Hi,
I'm wrapping my head around sound reproduction, and I can't find for the life of me an answer to this question: when the source is digital, streamed or stored, and listened through bluetooth, does the source device matter? It seems to me that the only digital to analogue conversion happens in the bluetooth receiver, and everything before that is digital.
So, if I stream through an app on the phone a file of a certain quality, is that file transferred as is to the bluetooth receiver, which is then entirely responsible of the quality of the reproduction, or does the transmitter do any re-encoding of the file? The follow up question then naturally is: should I invest in a music player or in better bluetooth headphones?
Thanks a lot!
