[nn_in]

Standlone BT receiver.what would folks consider a considerable upgrade from Logitech BT iam using .
IPad(iTunes,amazon music,Saavn) is connected to WiFi and streams via to the Logitech BT connected to NAD. What can be done to get a better BT sound improvement ?

Ditch BT; get a Chromecast Audio puck.
If you can source from USA, Google has it on sale there for $15.

Not exactly what you are looking for

Any users here ?for these BT specific DACs : Audioengine B1,Auris BlueMe,Arcam (rblink and miniblink). I dont care for other inputs/outputs like optical,coax and USB in the DAC.
I think at first glance the above list should be better than the logitech BT iam using. Offcourse the price is 4X to 6X more.

What do you folks use the most in source format.
vinyl,cd.,tape,PC plus dac,PC plus BT ?
After BT I have almost moved away from other sources .The convenience is addictive.

If you mention that you find something convenient in this hobby...it wont be 5 mins before someone comes along and tells you it sounds crap. And there is enough audiophilio bullshit floating around, that he will copy and paster in a minute, more than what you can read in a day

If you are in this hobby for musical enjoyment, and happy with the way bluetooth works for you. Then just enjoy your music.

And if i may suggest a alternative that can be just as easy and convenient to use, i will point you to the chromecast audio that raghu already suggested. However, will it sound better ? We can wait for 5 mins to find out

Bt transmits analog. For example, your phone converts digital to analog and transmits to BT receiver via Bluetooth

Sure about this?

Colorfly BTC1, Astell & Kern XB10 and Earstudio ES100 to this list

I use Nobsound 6J1 tube preamp with Bluetooth receiver. I'm pretty much satisfied with it. In the Bluetooth dac section, it uses es9023.

Thanks . Nobsound 6J1 is nice. At this time I shall move to arcam miniblink though its in the higher BT Rx price bracket.The compact form factor and the DAC implementation seems to offer one of the best options in BT .

Thanks.
Chromecast Audio is wifi only if my understanding is correct.

Yeah it was designed to be wifi only. But now a days there are ethernet adapters available on amazon india, to provide the chromecast with a stable hard wired ethernet connection.

I've replaced the stock Chinese tubes with Original GE tubes (Made in USA). I'll be upgrading to linear power supply in near future.
