Adding bluetooth to a Marantz PM7005

[jimitom]

I have an opportunity to grab a second hand, year old Marantz PM7005 for a fair price. I will pair it with Q Acoustics 3020 and Project debut carbon.

One thing I want to make sure before buying is - what would be the most convenient way of adding a bluetooth adapter so it would work with 7005's DAC? The sources would be Android aptX capable smartphone, and a laptop PC.

Would something like this do the job?

Hi - i'm going off topic a bit, but if you don't have the Q Acoustics yet, I suggest looking at Dali Zensor 3 instead - as I found Q Acoustics 3050 sounding pretty harsh with Marantz SR5010 reciever. The Q Acoustics were burnt in, the Marantz maybe not.

Anyway, goodluck with your quest

Thanks for reply. I own 3020 speakers not 3050. I've read around the internet that Marantz integrated amps and Q Acouustics speakers make a nice pair. Will find out soon.

This is not what I'm looking for. I don't want a separate bluetooth/DAC as the amp will already have a good quality DAC. What I want to know is it possible to add something like a luetooth dongle/antena/receiver to work with integrated amp's DAC?

Is there anyone who did this with, perhaps, the popular PM6005?? Thanks

Arcam rblink has coaxial out to connect to an external dac. Also has it's own inbuilt dac so at least you'll have options for future amps too.

This should suffice.
