Thanks for fixing the message.Basically you wouldn't use your amp's headphone capabilities with wireless headphones. The amplification (and DAC as the tx is digital) is built into the headphones.
So you need to make a connection between the source and headphone. Some wireless headphones come with a base station that serves to do this or there are bluetooth transmitters available. Most connect to the source using a 3.5mm jack plug so you need to take account of your source's connectivity in relation to this. Some transmitters are not self powered and also need a power supply, usually the 5V available via USB.
Bluetooth is generally regarded as inferior to CD quality from an audiophile perspective. It is better if both transmitter and headphone have aptx which offers improvements over bog standard bluetooth. This is common these days but do check.
Bluetooth is not capable of hi-rez although Sony seem to have a proprietary scheme for wireless phones which does offer <384KS/s. However the transmitter end seems to be limited to the use of current Xperia smart phones.
There are a few wireless headphones that offer wifi connection as well as bluetooth and I assume that for this connection the source and headphone need to be connected to the same LAN.
Let us know how you get on,
Regards
Pete
NB: Do you still want to PM me about the ATCS?

Thanks Pete. I can't send you a PM as your profile doesn't allow it. Could you contact me (address as my Username) and I'll reply? Thanks. Peter
Peter I replied to your PM to me last week. Did it reach you?
Weird. I altered my profile a long tome ago to allow members to contact me. I just checked and my profile said I would not allow anyone !?
Anyway I just amended it so you can PM me. For belt and braces reasons (that's belt and suspenders for our US friends) I will write direct as suggested.
Pete
