    Bluetooth Receivers are DACs... Specialized DACs, but DACs Nonetheless

    Does anyone know what kind of DAC is built into these cheap little Bluetooth receivers one can buy from Amazon? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a Bluetooth receiver a very small DAC but without the inconvenience of having a cable (digital signal) running from your playback device to the...

    UE Megablast VS. .... everything else under $300. (Bluetooth/WiFi Speakers)

    I've recently decided I'd like to get a high quality bluetooth speaker for when I'm away from my system -- after all, 300+lb of amps and speakers 6+ft tall are far from portable. This thing's duties would be two-fold. First, it'd act as a 'secondary system' for when I'm laying in bed messing...

    Migrating from Airplay (DLNA) to Bluetooth Apt-X for my streaming pleasure

    Aloha gents. I've been a big fan of Airplay/DLNA receivers. I have an older iPhone and iPad, and they make great streaming devices with Airplay. And my Airplay receivers are also DLNA compatible, so I can stream via WiFi from a Windows Music Server (Windows 10 Laptop) and from my BlackBerry...
