In-ear phones have the potential of having the highest fidelity of all headphone types.

How so? Isn’t converting from digital to analog better than from digital to digital to analog?

Nothing to do with ADA conversions (and digital-to-digital, eg SRC or bitdepth conversion, is completely transparent if done even remotely adequately). Small drivers close to eardrum with good seal just seem to be easier to manage when it comes to frequency response and distortion. Most open circumaural headphones, for example, seem to have deficiencies in lower end no matter the price.

Are you saying the length of the cable from my phone to my ears has an impact on audio quality?

Also, is there no loss when converting from the digital audio format to whatever bluetooth uses?

This seems unrelated to jack vs bluetooth.

Why of course that is why OP only buys the finest MONSTER Vibranium-Plated Unobtanium-Engraved Analog Audiophile Cables.

No, they’re saying accurately reproducing sounds for people to listen to has much more to do with the vibrating membrane to eardrum interaction than anything that happens between the source material and the vibrating membrane.
