No conversion is needed. Actually, your problem is that you ARE 
converting it to a string. The << operator is overloaded to convert the 
integer in a string representation of the value. You should be using the 
.write() method of the stream.

Check this:

In that case you'll need the << operator with the "hex" manipulator.
