I am looking for an aptX Bluetooth receiver. I'm interested in these two:

There are lots of reviews of the Audioengine B1 and Advance Paris is the reference brand of the the French manufacturer Advance Acoustic.

The DAC in the B1 is AKM AK4396 and the WTX1100 is Cirrus Logic CS4344. The alternative is to connect to my Tag McLaren DAC20 but I think that it would be probably better to use the internal DAC.

Which do you think is better? The Audoengine is £30 cheaper.

Many thanks!

Yeah I was edging towards the Audioengine B1 but then I came across a third option:

It's only £65 and has ESS9018K2M DAC chip. I already own a xDuoo XD05 Plus portable DAC / headphone amp for my laptop.
