Review on aptX Low Latency Bluetooth Receiver for Home Stereo - Wireless Audio Streaming Adapter (UL Charger Excluded) by Carl Watkins

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Streaming from player

Fits and works perfectly with my Audio-Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB-BK player. I use this to stream from my player to my computer. The only small issue I had initially was not using the included power adapter. I'm so glad I ordered it with an adapter! No matter which USB port I plug it into on my PC, there is noise coming out of my speakers. After almost tearing my hair out. I was ready to give it back to Revane. As a last attempt I tried the power supply. IRRESPONSIBLE! I'm not deducting a star for that. I'm sure audio purists will laugh at even having a Bluetooth player, let alone listening to your vinyl collection that way. But this is for my home office. A player was purchased specifically for this purpose. I thought I could connect the player directly to Bluetooth on my home PC and use it as a sound source. If it's possible, I've never understood it. So that was Plan B. It goes through the line on my PC motherboard. Although I don't use a dedicated sound card, the sound from my PC motherboard is better than most PC sound cards on the market. Anyway, I'm 100% satisfied with my setup. To be honest, I'm thrilled. I'm honestly excited about this little device. The player uses the aptX codec and sounds amazing. Don't let the low price fool you, this is a quality device. The fact that it comes with all the necessary cables is an absolute bonus. Ready for immediate use. If I had used an AC adapter from the start, setup would have been incredibly easy. I'm definitely ordering a second device to add Bluetooth input to my living room setup. Highly recommended!
