Hi folks.
So review of CCA vs Arcam rBlink Bluetooth. Both connected to Arcam A29.
rBlink:
Ive has this about 2 years. Always running 320kbs extreme Spotify mode. Sound quality is exceptional (for a Bluetooth) and it hands down spanked a cheaper Bluetooth when I upgraded to this. It’s not a million miles from cd quality and is close in SQ when flick back forth inputs when playing same tune to cd.
Rinses phone batt as using Bluetooth which is not good.
rBlink connects into A29 via power socket which appears neat in that it auto turns on/off when turn on amp BUT this leads to rBlink often thinking it’s connected when it’s not. This is not an issue when have it plugged in by own power supply .
CCA:
Just wow. £30. Beats the rBlink (but not by much) prob about 5% crisper. The bass notes are just slightly crisper.
No real negatives for this I’ve found.
Sumup: despite being over 5x the cost the rBlink is beaten by the little hockey puck.
Bye bye rBlink!
