    Default Bluetooth receiver

    I want to play wireless music from my phone to a Hi Fi set up. I'm looking for a simple blue tooth receiver that has phono outputs to connect to my amp or dac.
    It's a second system upstairs so I don't want to spend a lot. Anybody using something similar, or have suggestions?

    Thanks John

    avantree do a few. this one should do you, but there are cheaper ones too. it'll be 3.5mm out but a stereo twin rca to 3.5mm will get you going i thing

    I have one of these in the cupboard somewhere. Optical and coaxial out, plus analogue out via 3.5mm to rca.

    Sound quality very good and easy to pair using NFC.

    Let me know if you are interested.

    Thanks Geoff.

    With NFC does the phone have to be next to the receiver to work?

    No. NFC allows pairing by placing the phone beside the receiver. Thereafter it can be used at a distance. IIRC the range was about 10m or more.

    In truth till this weekend I had never used Bluetooth for a main system source and the general view seemed to be that BT limited the sound quality . Due to internet issues I was able to borrow an iFi Zen Blue mk2 and used that connected to a tablet and streaming Qobuz . I have to say the sound was brilliant and I would not have been able to tell if it was an ethernet stream or BT . Having read a little bit about the iFi after the show I know this has things like Apt x and Aptx HD so not you simple BT connection and I also appreciate that they are a bit spendy for just occasional use . But the sound quality and the rock solid connection was highly impressive . I may well be talking myself in to buying one just to have for Shows in case internet can not be solved .

    Thanks Geoff. I'll look into the options a bit more before deciding. How much do you want for it?

    As it's not being used, say £20 including delivery.

    I don't think you will be disappointed.
