Pros: - Quick and easy setup - Instantly recognized as a BT 5.0 AptX HD receiver by my compatible phone - Excellent sound quality - Better range than my old Logitech low-fi receiver, even if Receive HD signal. Cons: -Sometimes a split second jump or buffer in the audio, maybe a jump every few listening sessions. Not enough to bother me, but the old receiver didn't do it while I was in range. While it may be my phone, it certainly won't be a huge disappointment to me. The included RCA cable isn't audiophile quality at all - it's better to send it without than to include a cable that destroys all the fidelity you'll get when using it. HD broadcast; If you don't already have one, plan separately for a good optical or well-shielded analog RCA cable. Rating: This device delivers what it promises. Before spending a (significant) premium on one of these receivers over a standard Bluetooth receiver (they're about 5 times more expensive), make sure you have devices that can take advantage of the increased accuracy, and plan for them Using high quality audio. - the right sound source. Everything from the compression of the original file to your amp, speakers, and cables connecting the Bluetooth receiver to the amp and the amp to the speakers affects sound quality, and you won't go for a quality Bluetooth receiver Your cost comes when you add a bunch of noise up or down the river. If you already have a good set, this unit sounds noticeably better than the branded non-HD Bluetooth receiver I've used before. The soundstage, accuracy and purity of the tone, especially in extreme frequency ranges, is noticeably better. The LFE and subwoofer output is clearer, less confusing and the high frequencies are more defined and less harsh. Instruments and sounds appear clearer from each other and fine tonal elements are more visible. All of this means that if you're playing compressed MP3s at 128kHz or worse, or most internet radio as the source, you may hear MORE distortion (compression artifacts), not less. But if your source is pure and of high quality, it's worth the money. 320kHz MP3 and FLAC files are great for listening, as are lossless HD internet radio sources. But the bottom line is that it's only worth it when you know the rest of the puzzle has already been solved.
