High-resolution Bluetooth receivers (What you need to know.)

Interesting indeed, thank you ..
KCB🙂🇬🇧👍

Great vid as usual from you. Could you recommend a unit for an audiophiles who has reference dac and only need the Bluetooth receiver purely for wireless connections. It seems pointless to pay for an inbuilt dac that you are not going to use.

I picked up the Bludento B2 on their site for $100 and got an additional $10 off. I like the idea of having the screen. I'll be connecting to my Harmon Kardon. I almost picked up the Harmon Kardon BTA-10 on ebay, but that's much older and out of production. Just figured I got more for my money this route.

thanks for the discount code, still works.

On / off switch is gone because the manufacturer wants to make sure the spyware stays active!

No useful information. What is wrong with you?

You are making stereo systems great again!

Hi, Is there a digital to analog converter that also has Bluetooth? I'd like to connect my tv to my little computer speakers via the optical out on my tv but also have the capacity to connect (via Bluetooth) to my tablet. the converter would need to have the 3.5mm headphone jack input. Is there something you could recommend as there's so many out there it's hard to get my head around them all. Thanks so much.

Great video. May i ask which of these have the best multi point performance?

what about cheaper options?

Why was the denon left out of consideration?

I want to bluetooth from my TV to powered speakers. Will the TV still control the volume ok? Any help is appreciated. (:)

Where can one get the DC Adapter Per Supply for the BluDento Receiver

What high gain antenna can I use for my B2 Bludento to go through the wall of a metal building to mount outside? Thanks!

Any Bluetooth receiver with 5.1 analogue output?????

Hi, great video. Lots of detail. Never used one of these.
If connected to my Pioneer receiver can i get improved sound through my wired headphones as well through the 6mm socket on the receiver?

I have a wireless Samsung soundbar, can installing this improve the audio quality of my soundbar? Like LDAC codec support or not?

Your briefly mentioned how you used one of these Bluetooth receivers in a car audio setup, any chance you'd be able to show or explain how you setup and installed the unit for that type of application in terms of power, switched turn on, 12v to 5v conversion and any comments on vehicle noise ect

"The Auris Blueme... Pause."

Hi I ve seen your video and frankly still not decided…I have an 4 year old Av receiver and a oldie Audiolab 8000A. I want to connect Bluetooth and a CD/bluray player to them. How can you advise me?! Thanks

Thanks for the review/comparison. I am trying to decide which auris model to pair to my Onkyo receiver.

Great breakdown, exactly the comparison I was looking for. Regarding the iFi Zen Blue, I did end up returning that as it did not come with a power supply. Not a deal killer but for the price, I figured that would be included. I re-ordered the Auris Blume HD, and will be connecting to my vintage Onkyo receiver!

Hi i have a yamaha adventage rx2020 paired with 2 klipsch rp 8000f towers, i want to update it with a good bluetooth reciever so i can listen to spotify music with higher sound quality, im actually using a JL audio MBT-RX bt receiver thats meant for car stereo use, as temporal solution... do you think the sound quality will dramatically improve with any of these hi res receivers? And wich one to choose?

I’m currently collecting my MacBook Pro via USB cable to a galvanically isolated USB connection on my DAC. Would these units give the same sound quality?

I need a Bluetooth receiver that will plug into a 3.5 mm audio jack. Any recommendations?

great work .. thank you

Which Device should I choose if I have to between Auris Blume Pro vs Bluedento B2, would appreciate if you could answer my query!

Except SOME BT stuff don't work as advertised or at all ... like the Insignia BT adaptor sold at Best Buy.

I want to get my music from my phone (deezer - flac) to my HQ DAC. At the moment I'm using a streaming device: the rca connection (direct to the amplifier) is terrible; the optical output gives HQ but the volume can't be controlled.
Q1: If one of the mentioned bluetooth receivers is connected with an optical cable to the DAC: will there be loss of quality, compared to using a streaming device?
Q2: Can the volume be controlled by the app on the phone, even when the optical out is used between receiver and dac?

Hi, thanks for the video! Do you have any suggestions with a usb-c output?

Can you suggest one I can use in a car running a aftermarket amp. I'm looking to keep my factory touchscreen for visual only and run all my audio through my phone via Bluetooth. I would need a way to power device in the vehicle. Please help someone

The passcode of BluDento device is set to 0000 (four zero) by default. However we can set different passcode for every BluDento device in order to avoid strange connections.

Wow! Not one word about what bluetooth codecs these support. Maybe because they're using apple products to stream from?

I'm going to look around and see if I can find a video how to connect all this. Call you want to do is play your albums which suck.

Are you really going to play the whole album? That can only sound as good as your speakers.

I have the Bludento BLT 2 which was under £50 direct from China and I think it’s very good. Not quite up to CD or vinyl quality but still very musical and a steal for the money. You need to use better RCA interconnections than the ones provided to get the best out of it though. The only drawback is if someone else has been connected to it and I want to use it then they have to manually disconnect first. Looks like that problem has been fixed though with the ones that you are reviewing so maybe it’s time to buy the newer version but it’s almost 3 times the price of mine. Perhaps I should buy the iFi Zen which has great reviews and is built in the UK as far as I understand.

I appreciate the review regarding bluetooth receivers and your thoughts on their audio quality.

I'm trying to get audio from my turntable with built-in pre-amp to my receiver. Neither piece have built in Bluetooth so I'm looking for a receiver for my receiver and a transmitter for my turntable.

Do you happen to have a video reviewing transmitters and their audio quality? Maybe something that would be recommended to be paired with the ifi receiver?

Thanks!

Regarding the ifi zen v2, what is the DAC quality like? I might be wrong but the DAC to me is the crux of this type of device?

I want to get a bluetooth unit, but ideally one where the software can be updated as and when issued by manufacturer. Please advise. Thanks

I’ve been using the Audioengine B1 for several months and am absolutely blown away by the sound quality and convenience streaming from my iPad. Music is more enjoyable because I have millions of songs easily called up from my chair using Apple Music and Amazon music. Will the iFi unit sound noticeably better? Would it be an upgrade or not really? I am using the optical output to my receiver (about a $9K setup with the speakers).

Hi Sir .... I have Yamaha Rx-N 600 network receiver..... I am searching Best BT received I like deep bass, puntchy sound and strong bulid ....can suggest any Plz

Great videos! From watching you I bit the built and upgraded from the Logitech to the BlueDento B2. Very happy with it for the price. Great upgrade. Thanks!

Thanks for the thoughtful reviews… but thought you might like to know that the promo code for the dentó did not work.

Can you explain how these devices are similar or different in functionality compared to a receiver that looks like a typical receiver, for example Sony STRDH190 2-ch Stereo Receiver with Phono Inputs and Bluetooth Audio Component? Our new home has existing in-ceiling speakers and I want to learn about options for a receiver. I listen to am/fm radio, cds, and digital media (mp3s, google home). Any insights or links you can share?

I just received the Auris blueme pro and I really like it! I have noticed that I can stream 24-bit 96K from Apple Music but the unit shows that it is receiving 24-bit 44.1 kHz. Is this a limitation of Bluetooth? My iPad says that it is streaming and 96K but that’s not what shows up on the OLED display on the blue me pro. Thank you!

Help!! I currently have a Dennon AVR 3803 that to me sounds phenomenal!! Have some Boston Acoustics (subs are powered). The Dennon piece isn't Bluetooth capabilite it does however have multiple digital inputs coxal and fiber optic. I have a 1Mii Bluetooth receiver that has digital outputs. Which is the best way to connect it to my Dennon piece. Once connected should I listen thru pure direct or one of the processed ways like 5 channel stereo? Any help with this matter would be great!! Thanks for the great videos!!

Would be nice to see an RCA output voltage comparison video on these even comparing them to some lower priced units

Don’t understand why use WiFi
Or receive it , for what purpose.

On the ifi signature one is the burbrown dac does it also work while using Bluetooth or is it only for MQA plugged in a pc?
