Diy Bluetooth Receiver Dac

Highly versatile and compact Bluetooth Receiver/Transmitter with built-in DAC. It has separate optical input and outputs and a dual-use coax line. The Bluetooth connectivity is solid but it might take a few tries with older Bluetooth equipment. Once you're connected, it stays connected. Highly recommended!

Very good Bluetooth receiver.

I use this with Geshelli Labs excellent JNOG3 DAC. I was initially disappointed with the sound stage of this DAC. It was wide but the depth was not very layered. I have had past success improving sound with upgraded power supplies, so decided to try an iFi as a quick test before going linear. Might as well get the top model. I am very impressed. The soundstage deepened and layers emerged. Imaging and detail improved. This really unleashed the $600 JNOG3 to produce a nice holographic image that rivals my $1400 DIY Ian Canada monster (I have an obsession with DACs. Got the JNOG3 as my first AKM test unit ). My system is fairly high end: DIY BMR Philharmonitor speakers with high-end crossover components, DIY 24-strand OCC braided speaker cables, DIY Hypex Nilai500 monoblocks, DIY Goldpoint attenuator in lieu of a preamp, JNOG3 DAC (for this review) with Kimber Hero XLR interconnects. Silver solder, copper/gold connectors and all that jazz. I share this setup for context. My system is VERY revealing and sensitive to any change in the signal path or power supplies. The improvement from adding the iPower X was instantly noticeable on my system. The improvement may not be as apparent on a less revealing system. YMMV. As a simple, drop-in power supply upgrade, the iPower X is a low-cost way to improve low voltage audio equipment performance. Highly recommended.

Great sounding receiver ....AWESOME with my Bluetooth

I bought this receiver for the Bluetooth connectivity. I am now able to play my iTunes songs from the iTunes cloud through my iPhone and the new Receiver to our inside and / or outside speakers - all from my lounge chair. I am handicapped, so this is of great help to me.

Do you suppose the DAC in your $1000 receiver might be better than the DAC in your $100 CD player? For a mere $6.50 you can improve the sound of your CDs quite a bit!

I have used this for a little over two years and the sound quality is the best of any surround receiver or separate I have owned, and I have had a few. I replaced a Marantz AV7005 with this and the 8805 is a huge upgrade. Among others I have had is a Rotel system (they could not keep the amp repaired,) a Harman Kardon receiver (great until a channel went out and drove me to separates,) and an early Marantz receiver with a universal remote control that never lived up to its hype. Set-up with Audessy was easy. I always take the initial settings as a serving suggestion, but I had to do very little adjustment compared to the AV 7005. The MM phono stage works well, but I could not adapt an MC stage to the 8805-it most likely was my outside phono stage. The DAC on the CD input is nearly as good as my external DAC, I really have to listen to hear a difference when I route the CD transport into the 8805. I do not use the streaming features much, but what I have used is impressive. The radio does pick up some remote stations. Overall this is the best Marantz product I have owned since the 70s.

Splitting XLR from computer DAC (Schiit Gungnir) to headphone integrated amp receiver (Schiit Ragnarok) and to TV entertainment center processor (Emotiva XMC-1). Does the job with 0 noise or issues. Clean signal to both. Works!!!

Great receiver for garage or man cave Bluetooth setup

One of the best systems out there. It works perfectly and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great Bluetooth receiver
