Is it a problem to have a DAC feeding a DAC?

I'm new to all this, but I want to get a Bluetooth receiver and plug it into a Hegel H80 for wireless streaming.  All of the better Bluetooth receivers seem to have a built in DAC.  So the Bluetooth DAC would be feeding the Hegel DAC.

Is that a problem for any reason.  Am I missing something...should I be looking at a different solution for wireless streaming?

I totally agree with @1extreme 's suggestion of the Chromecast Audio.  It really is a great performer especially at it's very low price.  While it does sound pretty darn good using it's own built in DAC, sound quality will improve if you feed a digital stream(mini toslink) to a quality outboard DAC.
