Bluetooth device suggestions please?

[Gel Man]

Hi, I am looking for a good Bluetooth device to connect my Pioneer amp VSX-LX70 to my B&W FPM4 speakers please?

Would this be a good option?

It’s got RCA cables with it, so I will connect that way with aux output,

With having a DAC I am hoping it will sound as good as an Arcam R-Blink?

Getting it tomorrow now so hoping for the best.

The WiiM's are great .... not sure if you're using a streaming provider but there's much better alternatives to Blue Tooth if you are.

The Mini hasn't got the best DAC in the world, I did a quick google on your amp / inputs and it seems it has optical inputs as well, as a minimum, the Mini comes with an optical cable so compare them and see which you prefer.

I am using Apple Music is that good?

Optical cable could work.

Thanks for your reply.

This is what I am currently playing about with:

I am getting the Wiim Mini today too.

I'm not an Apple Music user but the WiiM is compatible with Airplay 2 which is probably better than Blue Tooth.

Cool, thanks. Should be coming in the next 30 mins. One problem I am having is connecting the subwoofer on the Pioneer VSX-LX70 amp with stereo or just in general too, it doesn’t seem to want to work! I have tried a few things now and still no luck. I don’t particularly want to buy another amp as I would like the money for another sub preferrably.

I have been thinking about floorstanding speakers though in the past and now I have these 2 speakers which are equally up to task. I will see how things go with getting the sub connected first.

How are you connecting the sub? Have you run calibration on the amp?
