Bluetooth streaming and hifi audio
Having recently treated myself to Kef Reference Model 2 speakers to replace the Kef 104aB (all of which by the way were built in the town of Maidstone a few miles from here) along with a Cyrus 7 amp, I'm looking to stream audio from the PC in the next room via Bluetooth.
Something like the Audioengine B1 Bluetooth receiver with its aptX codec seems to get best reviews. So far so good from the point of view of the receiver.
However, one small question pops up: what about the usb dongle transmitter I would like to use on my PC?
However much I search, I can find no mention of whether if any old Bluetooth dongle in the computer parts box will do, OR whether the transmitter has to be of a certain spec to send suitably hi quality data to the receiver.
Anyone out there in the know?
Now, here's a 'Did You Know' for the HiFi enthusiasts among you who no doubt will be well familiar with the Kef brand!
Kef in fact stands for Kent Engineering & Foundry, a company which started off manufacturing agricultural equipment!! True.
