Unlike USB and Firewire, Blue Tooth is agressively seeking Audiophile implementations and is gaining support. BT is already found in every electronic device which gives them a broad foundation and acceptance throughout the world in by every electronics manufacturer.With BT you can send music to your Dac from anythng, phone, computer, iPad, iTouch, etc. and instead of buying hi-rez content your Dac will upsample to whatever rate you wish...even the DacMagic Plus does 24/384.
In a year or two I would not want to be the one stuck with a worthless $500 usb cable or an expensive USB -only- Dac. These folks are the BetaMax owners of the future....supposedly superior but actually obsolete.

my wired USB DAC from my cold, dead hands. I do not own a cell phone and use ethernet for my Internet connection. I *do* have a microwave oven in my house but, so far, I've not had the occasion to run it 24/7.
BlueTooth is just another wireless technology. As such, it pollutes the local electrical environment, not unlike wi-fi, cell phones, and microwave ovens. This cannot be good for operation of critical electronics located nearby and it may not be so healthy, either.
BlueTooth will not be as low noise as a proper cable and as such it will be more subject to jitter and other degrading effects. I can't imagine this technology being suitable for audiophiles.

As a means of data transfer it can work with no errors so even if your concerns about jitter are valid that can be cleaned up on the DAC end with buffering.
No idea if it will take off as predicted but I see no reason it is any worse than any other means of data transfer.
.
These are a few of the reasons why I think Bluetooth.
BlueTooth SIG is made up of Large Corporations [see below] with enough capital and engineering to make BT work in virtually any short range data transmission senerio. Also with other Large Corporations already on board [Pioneer, Sony et.al] the shear size and momentum of the wireless BlueTooth revolution in all of audio seems 'to me' inevitable.The only reason why Lossless has not taken hold instead of MP3 has to do with 'bandwidth', the bandwidth required to send/recieve large amounts of data vs. cost. Time and technology is chipping away at this from one end and BT along with user-end upsampling via hardware 'within' the products will at least resolve the issue of industrial-sized volume of hi-rez traffic.
Once the lossless hurdle via internet is overcome and 'industry' is able to make profits from selling 16/44.1 via the internet you will see hard-CD's vanish.
Blue-Tooth SIG is:
Ericsson Technology Licensing (founder member)
Intel (founder member)
Lenovo (since 2005)
Microsoft (since 2008)
Motorola (since 1999)
Nokia (founder member)
Toshiba (founder member)Chord Audio, surely a High-Eng company uses BlueTooth, just one of many currently using it.
Added to this a unique Bluetooth digital audio receiver has been designed to enhance connectivity so that you can stream high quality music wirelessly from a Bluetooth enable phone, PDA or personal computer.

When did that every stop anything?BT = convenience and wide cross platform usage as well as a selling feature. Step-by-step, inch-by-inch it will slowly turn and BAM!!!! before you know it, its going to be everywhere.
Besides when there is money to be had, sound research and advances will be gained. As far as more wireless pollution goes...hey, welcome to the 21st century, we are already swimming in a sea of pollution both wireless and otherwise. Pollution never stood in the way of profits either.
Profits_rule, with the market being heavily saturated with Dacs and such wireless is the next logical step imo. As far as wireless goes I really think BT is leading the pack. BT stands to make some serious cash if they can get their technology accepted in all those electronic devices. Surely if I had the BT license I would want every wire in the world less that 20ft to be replaced with BT.

Not where I happen to live, yet. Nearest cell tower is over a mile away and no wi-fi is in range except mine, which is turned on only when I have visitors. Unfortunately, there is talk that the power company is going to install smart meters. Not much pollution here, either, other than the natural kind brought by the floods last fall.

Out my window I've I've seen deer, moose, bear, Fischer, coyotes, wild turkeys, plus the usual critters. Here's a typical photo of my back yard, not the ski area promotional photo linked previously.

Very very nice Tony!
