Hi, I'm kind of a newbie with regards to dac, streamers, bluetooth etc so I have been spending the last week reading up on it and watching many, many reviews of all kinds of devices from brands like SMSL, Sabaj, Loxjie etc. But I get the impression that it's assumed that these devices are connected to via either USB or perhaps even RCA. Also BlueTooth is sometimes mentioned, and this is what my question is about.
My situation is very very basic: I have 2 hifi speakers (with speaker cables), and I have a laptop (Windows 10). I would like to be able to have any audio from the laptop, mostly Winamp playlists, to play over the speakers without using any cables whatsoever. Since I will be moving around with the laptop in my room a lot, cables are not practical.
What is the most logical way to get this to work? I was thinking of getting one of those DACs like the AO200 from SMSL or the Loxjie A30. Connect my speakers to that and then somehow stream the audio from my laptop over Bluetooth to the DAC? Is that about how it should be done?
It is important to me that I do not need special software or a phone app in order to control the audio. I just want to use my laptop as normal, so any kind of audio program should work with it. Sound quality is somewhat important but it doesn't have to be the very best, so if BlueTooth means an slightly degraded sound quality compared to for example USB, I am ok with that.
I appreciate any advice in this! Thank you.
