Reddit mentions of Audioengine B1 Bluetooth Music Receiver with 5.0 aptX HD, Extended Range and High Fidelity 24 bit DAC, Optical

The way Dot uses the BT protocol is a little different different than the way most phones do, and I've heard of this kind of problem happening with some receivers and home theater amps. I think it's likely a software/protocol issue, and is not likely to be solved by replacing either your Dot or receiver (unless you swap to a different model/brand on the latter).

Could you provide the specific model of the receiver you're using? Is it this one? (http://amzn.com/B00MHTGZR4)

Buy this and connect any other BIFL speakers to it.

i'd go for refurbished mdr1000x to save a lot of cash for essentially same quality and i would definetly buy the Audio Engine B1 Bluetooth Receiver if my device supports it , not sure if has phantom power but i would guess not, u might wanna check that yourself , get it ONLY if your phone supports apTx codec or if you gonna use it with your computer (Windows 8/10)

I Reviewed that one but for permanent installation I'd get one like this or spend the bucks if you can and look at the Audioengine B1

Hi there,

I just bought the LSR305 + LSR310 combo.

I thought I would also get the Audioengine B1 to send music via Bluetooth and I did not realize the whole balanced/unbalanced story that that entails, so now I'm totally confused, and I don't have the right cables.

Should I:

1 Buy a RCA to XLR cable to connect the output of the DAC to the input of the LSR310s?

2 Use the RCA to RCA cable what comes with the DAC and use this directly plugged into the sub?

3 Forget about the Audioengine B1 and get something different, and if so, what? Having a bluetooth connection is tempting, but I'm open to having something else.

Appreciate any tips, thanks!

I've pretty much settled on this one.

Ohhh, the lineout DEFINITELY uses the internal DAC. My guess is that it's probably a decent little guy but I wouldn't expect it to be awesome.

If you're concerned about sound quality, pick up a premium Bluetooth receiver with a DAC to keep it all digital until your receiver input. If your receiver has a fantastic DAC, use something like that with its digital output into your receiver's digital input and let your receiver convert.

I'm actually not sure how the Dot will pick which output to select whether internal speaker or Bluetooth. I assume if you have it synced to an external speaker, it probably won't output through its internal speaker.

Would be great if the Dot had an option to send audio responses and music responses through the user selected output.
