Apple To Remove Lightning Port?

[The Computer Audiophile]

So the speculation has begun about when Apple will remove the lightning port on the iPhone.

 

This would really suck on many levels, but just when I though the market for DAPs (Digital Audio Players) was circling the drain, a development like Apple removing the lightning port would ensure DAPs live on. If I had to listen to audio via wireless to headphones, I would definitely purchase a new DAP.

why is it bad to listen to audio via wireless to headphones?

I've never heard wireless headphones that sound good.

There's a little DAC in both the bluetooth headphones as well as the lightning to headphone cable. Presumably a higher quality bluetooth DAC would emerge, and a wired headphone could plug into this ... if it comes to that. 

I'm not into "presumably" when it comes to sound quality. If history is a predictor of the future, as convenience goes up sound quality will go down.
