geoff. Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 What component (streamer?) does everyone use to connect a bluetooth source to their preamp? For example, phone > ? > preamp. I have seen tiny little accessories for small change and components that match my system for more than I have paid for any single item in the stack so far. The one that caught my eye, a NAD C658 had a DAC in it as well, but also went for 2 large and I don’t need a preamp. I am thinking by now there are probably some good deals on used gear but I have no idea what to start looking for. Thanks, as always, for any input on this.

YK Thom Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I have been using an Apple TV for several years. It picks up the WiFi from my computer when I stream online. I also used it with an IPad I used to have. I have been looking for something similar although WiFi capable. Seems to be a lot of BT receivers out there but far fewer WiFi. An actual streaming component my be in the cards down the road but I really don't know much about them. Perhaps something like this might do the trick for you: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F6ZP5WF/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07F6ZP5WF&pd_rd_w=sqy4n&pf_rd_p=887084a2-5c34-4113-a4f8-b7947847c308&pd_rd_wg=94dTG&pf_rd_r=ZYQKMEN8P6RXXMQZQPSC&pd_rd_r=579d083d-df34-43e6-a5ec-2388ac755cfc&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyOFZMUk9ZUFcwNzlIJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUExMDEzNzE2SEZPUkQ3MjNBV1ZEJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAyODIzNzczRzBXNjNST0pIMCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2RldGFpbCZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff. Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 Thanks for the reply, that is the sort of thing I was referring to as “tiny little accessories”, lol. It is certainly inexpensive. Good point about WIFI, now I’m wondering about that too? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeloManiac Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I've been using this tiny Wifi-streamer for about 2 years now, and it has never failed me. It is simply 'set and forget'. My review is here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
