tigerwoodKhorns Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I am looking for an inexpensive device where I can stream Amzon music from my phone to a device that has optical out to run into my receiver. I like the DACs in the receiver so I really need an optical out. Any advise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ned Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I use: Bluetooth 5.0 Transmitter Receiver, HiGoing Digital Optical TOSLINK/SPDIF, RCA and 3.5mm Audio Adapter, aptX HD, aptX LL, Low Latency, Pair 2 at Once, for TV, car Radio, Mobile etc Sold by: Auteck I see it is longer available, but they have a successor product. I paid $38. I bet the same chip is in everything at this price point. There are quite a few on Amazon and elsewhere. It has optical out and has a USB cable so you can plug it into the wall. Be sure to go with Bluetooth 5.0. I am going optical into my DAC and all seems fine. Seems to work fine while I save for a BlueSound unit.

It sounds, and works TONS better than most of the BT devices. I have some BT device in the living room that is for basic background music that I got from Amazon. Darn thing is already acting hokey and doesn't output now. The two CCA's I use upstairs are still working like a champ. Crazy how much they are getting for them now. I wish I would had bought a dozen when t hey closed it out for $15. Sorry for the "late to the party" reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need optical out. Do the Chromecast Audios have an optical out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluetooth wise, I used a BTMagic model device that looks like this one. Apparently the one I had is indefinitely out of stock. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K9PGX5X/ref=dp_cerb_1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I had no idea Toslink had not died 15 years ago. Wired digital (phono, HDMI) avoids conversion to light and back, reducing errors. Use Toslink when coax causes a ground-loop. What kind of phone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
