I got an Arcam Rblink a couple of months ago,ebay refurbished $200. I'm not really into computer audio and all, but this blue tooth device's convenience helped me enjoy music so much more. I can listen to any music from my iphone 6 from across the room and never have to change CD, or bend my neck choosing my vertically stored Cds. I can scan hundreds of music with my fingers and be reminded of what I have as I scroll. Plus, that itune library is a kick, I found long lost music from the cobwebs of my memory (Nature's way by Spirit,Brandy by Looking Glass etc,) and it opened up alternate rock music (Phoenix, Zero 7) which I must say is as enjoyable as my classic rock. But most importantly, I can relax and enjoy the music because the fidelity expectation is low to begin with, it's blue tooth, what can I expect. But connected to a dac (PS Audio Nuwave OR Cal Alpha tube Dac), the thing sounds decent. Not bad really and quite surprisingly better than I expected. For those of you who like me, is way behind the computer audio curve, I highly recommend it. It's a trip. |
