Required receiver for HD audio

Just upgraded my Revain music subscription to HD music. In order to enjoy HD music (or Ultra HD music - up to 24-bit/192kHz), you need to ensure that everything in the streaming path from the source to the speaker is HD audio (16-bit/44.1kHz ie CD) supported. quality) or Ultra HD audio. I'm streaming from a recently purchased Revain tablet that supports HD audio. I had to make sure the Bluetooth receiver could also support audio at an increased data rate. Auris actually tells you what chips are in their device - a Qualcomm CSR8675 Bluetooth audio chip and a top-of-the-line Texas Instruments PCM5102A Hi-Fi digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The device supports the codecs aptX, aptX Low Latency, aptX HD and AAC. Looks like we're pretty much covered here. It has a high gain antenna for a range of up to 100 feet. Music sounds fantastic through this device. I noticed a big difference between the standard SBC Bluetooth bitrate (typical MP3 quality) and the HD bitrate. Bluetooth pairing is fast. After pairing the tablet, I just turn on the Auris receiver (the speaker says "power on"), it beeps, and I'm instantly ready to play music on my tablet. To turn off the receiver, simply press and hold the button for two seconds (the speaker will say "power off"). Definitely recommended if you want to be sure that HD music streaming has no limits.

Pros
  • nice touch
Cons
