Bluetooth connection device with digital out -at a budget

[joncam]

Hi, I have a nice system based around sonos and vinyl, but ... my friends come over and want to stream YouTube and SoundCloud via Bluetooth and I need a way into my DAC (NorthStar). I have seen a lot of Bluetooth devices with analouge out which is a no go for me, because the NorthStar DAC does such a great job of making so so audio sound good, or really good.

Help please folks, I'm over scrolling through review pages and amazon looking looking, the ones I've found tend to be expensive and I don't need to go there for this occassional devide.

Thanks

You can get a Pure Jongo A2 for 15 quid

Or a Yamaha YBA-11 for around 50 which has aptX Bluetooth

Have you thought about a Chromecast Audio?

Uses WIFi instead of Bluetooth, so better quality than BT is possible.

+1 easily the best for Bluetooth connection. The Jongo is a nightmare on the wi-fi connection but unbeatable for bluetooth. They used to be £100, so now represent excellent value for money.
