I have been pretty happy with bluesound. Can be a bit fussy on setup and update, but absolutely outstanding customer support
Add On For Streaming
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.

Does anyone know what happened to the Arcam rPlay streamer? Some reviews rated it more highly than the Bluesound and for awhile it was less expensive, but it seems to have disappeared from US outlets. https://www.whathifi.com/features/arcam-rplay-vs-bluesound-node-2-which-better |
The Arcam rplay is still around, just never think it hit it off the same as the bluesound did, you can still find them on Ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Arcam-Rplay-Streaming-DAC-for-Spotify-Tidal-others/273329606153?hash=item3f... |
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. |
