Hope I'm in the right section
I bought a Blafili B3 Bluetooth receiver recently, purely because it had XLR out.
I have a SMSL AO200 amp (also XLR) that has built in Bluetooth. The Bluetooth as per the reviews on YouTube however is a bit lack luster.
I was absolutely blown away by the B3 & AO200 combo. It's hard to distinguish the Bluetooth audio from a wired connection! I think I would fail a blind test.
It's strange because both the AO200 and the B3 are Bluetooth 5.O/5.1. it seems that SMSL have locked out aptX and LDAC to make you buy the matching SMSL DAC separately? The B3 has this however.
Super happy with this little stack now and you should definitely check out the B3 if you are looking for sound quality via Bluetooth. I sent them an email with pictures to say how happy I was with the unit and they even included the pictures on their site. So now my little stack is famous too 🙂
