Setup help needed

[CtotheB]

Source device: Fiio M21

• Working connection:
  
  • Fiio M21 → 1Mii B06S+
  • Codec: LDAC
  • Result: Stable, no dropouts

• Problem connection:
  
  • Fiio M21 → Edifier S350DB
  • Codec: aptX
  • Result: Audio breaks up due to distance/weak Bluetooth signal

• Device limitations:
  
  • Edifier S350DB supports aptX
  • Edifier S350DB does not support LDAC or aptX HD

• What I want to accomplish:
  
  • Extend the Bluetooth range so the Fiio M21 can stream reliably to the Edifier S350DB
  • Use a Bluetooth extender/repeater/intermediary device placed closer to the Edifier speakers
  • Ideally stream simultaneously to:
    
    • Edifier S350DB (aptX)
    • 1Mii B06S+ (LDAC)
• Goal:
  
  • Stable long-distance Bluetooth audio with the best possible sound quality and minimal dropouts.

P.S. No real budget, the best idea will win

How long do you need the range to be? I'm using a "cheap" SMSL DAC with Bluetooth and it has enough range to cover the three floors of my house.

The Fiio M21 BT is bad, mine cuts out after 10-15 feet, its the most disappointing part of the device.

If the Fiio connects well to the "1mii b06s+", could you add a second one connected to the Edifiers? That'd be a cheap option.

For playing both systems at the same time, a Bluetooth hub could work well and possibly even replace the 1mii.

This is what im considering. There are lots of devices out there but what would you recommend?

I am not very familiar with them but something like this MEE audio Connect Hub could work well as it has a long range and can connect to two Bluetooth speakers/systems at the same time.
