I would recommend the Bludento BLT-2 at £50 which has a great built in DAC. It has Bluetooth 5.1 and is very similar to the Audioengine at a quarter of its price. I was pleasantly surprised by this little unit through my Technics integrated amp and iPhone 11.
@@BluDento credit where credits due, this is a brilliant little unit. I am so impressed in fact that I am considering buying the more expensive HD version to use on a second system. I use Apple Music from an iPhone 11, what do you recommend?
@@tonyjedioftheforest1364 what do you mean by "HD version", doesn't the one you've talked about provides AptX HD? It's supposed to since it embarks BT 5.1 (or is it for a lack of AAC/LDAC codecs?).. Note: Qualcomm's AptX HD is of a similar quality than Sony's LDAC codec.
I've just verified: the Bludento BLT-2 has BT 4.0 (from 2010), which is super obsolete! This thread seems to be filled with cheap-stake salesman liars... I don't know if you are, but such misleading information/recommendation, on top of this clip number one (also from 2010 with BT 4.0)... I'm burning this channel in my virtual trash bin.
No. Suggesting an old 2010 BT 4.0 transmitter/receiver, which is *very obsolete in regard to **_audiophile_** signals,* pairing, distance, etc., more over as your 2021 number one pick and currently Amazon-priced at around CAN $240 (although it doesn't even provide LDAC, AptX HD etc. - they lie on Amazon's images, since BT 4.0 does NOT offer AptX HP)... *It's utterly dubious!* Come on "Techfluencer", what's your problem in trying to "influence" ppl into buying such costly backward gizmo!!...
