Nothing embarrassing about the Denon HEOS Link ($350) performance. Its DAC is fine but not not top level. But the HEOS Link used with coax digital out is a true bargain, sounds great. The HEOS music browser for phone or iPad is top drawer all the way. Good Tidal browsing included and a lot more, as in local servers. The Link handles PCM 192 and DSD 64/128 with aplomb.

I recently purchased a vacation home in San Miguel de Allende Mexico and have installed a nice small system consisting of Focal 1008 Be monitors, Luxman integrated amp and an Esoteric X05 SACD player to play a bunch of discs I shipped down. I rent the place out when my family isn’t using it and the one request I have gotten is that guests want to play music wirelessly from their phones or IPads through Bluetooth which of course is not possible with the current set up. Is there a single box Bluetooth receiver and DAC I should look at? I play vinyl at home so I am totally unfamiliar with what to do. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
