Has your laptop got Bluetooth? I am waiting for a BT wireless link to arrive in the post. So BT connection to the BM might be an option.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

hi grant..nice suggestion however its a minefield out there with hundreds of different adapters/connectors available I was hoping there may be a lead usb/toslink available or just a simple small converter that requires no power.i really do not want something that could add or take away the sound of the bushmaster..

That's a nice bit of kit for the price. I might get one to try out myself.Originally Posted by clarkey555

I have been playing with the Yamaha YBA-11 Bluetooth to digital coax adapter lately. It gives me the option to stream music via Bluetooth from my laptop to the BM. The Bluetooth adapter runs off the USB socket on the Ankara battery. It comes with a suitable USB to DC plug adapter, so I didn't have to make up any leads.
Transfer rate is limited to 16Bit/48kHz, which is the same as the Airport Express. But as a low cost Bluetooth solution it is not bad at all.

I have this usb to digital convertor, good things about this is, it has two simultaneous optical and coax output. I find the quality to be pretty good ( I am no expert in hi fi sound quality). It sounds great when partnered with the Bushmaster Mk I.
