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.

Jond, thanks for the idea. You do bring up a real world solution to my worry about renters abusing the system. So far my renters have been couples in their 60s who have been very responsible -- but it only takes one time to, for example, blow the tweeters. I have a place in the house where I could securely put the system away, but setting it up and dismantling it each time we go would not be my favorite thing, put it that way. |
A very good solution, I think, would be a Peachtree Audio Deepblue Sky. https://www.peachtreeaudio.com/deepblue-sky.html I've bought two of the previous model, the Deepblue 2, for my daughters who have the same requirements as your tenants and you. It's an elegant all-in-one solution with remarkable sound, easy Bluetooth pairing and an auxiliary input for other sources. My daughters grew up with great sound in the house and are extremely happy with the Deepblue. For them, with little kids around, the lack of knobs or wires is a big advantage. Likely would be the same with your tenants. Easy to find from online dealers or Peachtree directly for $400. |
