With the H8 and Beolit 15, I am getting more into bluetooth than AirPlay, and I am looking to implement a bluetooth receiver to my system.

What are the different options for doing this? What are you using?

Not sure what happened with my previous post.

I wouldnt recommend the iwave bluetooth receiver - its rubbish. I never got it to work with my BS8.

Don't you need a transmitter for the H8? To put in the 3.5 headphone output of TV or Beomaster?

Here are some:http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_17?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=bluetooth+aptx+transmitter&sprefix=bluetooth+aptx+tr%2Celectronics%2C417

This one does both. Transmit for the H8 or recieve for use with Beolit 12.

I can highly recommend the Sony bm10.  This support aptx and the sound is really great. I have it connected to beosound 2300 with beolab 4000 speakers

Hi Leo,

 

Does the H8 com with a transmitter to connect to you Beosystem?

Al the other bluetooth deviced mentioned here are receivers. For sending music from your smartphone to the Beosystem. Is that what you are looking for?

The Avantree Saturn Wireless Bluetooth Audio Receiver and Bluetooth Transmitter does both.

I don't have one so I don't know what the quality is.

No it doesn't. In my opinion, one should use the H8 with a phone for wireless. If you want to listen from your home stereo; use the wire that the H8 is delivered with.

What I am looking for is a Bluetooth receiver with a decent DAC.

When I have been using Airport express, I was able to use the optical output into an external DAC of my choice.
