AudioEngine B1 bluetooth receiver Vs Amp bluetooth dongle?

[TK421]

Hi all,
Up until recently, I'd been using the AudioEngine B1 bluetooth reciever as my previous amp didn't have a bluetooth option.
I recently upgraded to the Cambridge Audio CXA81 which does. So my question is, in terms of sound quality, which is the best? The external AudioEngine B1 or the internal bluetooth dongle on the amp?
Thanks

You can listen to them both - so you'll be the best judge of that I would have thought? Otherwise, you're comparising specifications - which mean a lot to some and little to others.

My thinking is that a purpose built, high endish bluetooth receiver might use better tech than an integrated one?

I doubt you'll hear any difference.
Signal over Bluetooth will always have constraints
