Crowd-funded "audiophile" device with unfortunate name

[skiesrblue]

So in my online travels I came across this doohickey:

How does one tell if a DAC is "Audiophile Grade?"

The name bluMe is also quite unfortunate...

Unfortunate indeed!

And, it's only audiophile grade if enough people here on AK disagree about it.

The name is pretty bad. I'm skeptical of the sound quality possible with Bluetooth, but I have limited personal experience. It seems like they are making more of an effort than most.

I'll take a Schiit every day.

 

[SuperjazzyJa]

Not even gonna say what I'm thinking.

BluMe?? No Schiit!! :thmbsp:

I guess it's better than BluYou.

 

[theophile]

I guess it's better than BluYou.

Depends upon who is doing the Bloing.
