Hi, first post here! About to pull the trigger on buying some gear that will serve double duty. I want to be able to 1) listen to music on headphones (Sennheiser HD 598 Cs) via USB on my desktop computer and 2) stream music to my hifi system from google play/spotify/etc.
Originally I was looking at the topping DX3 but there seem to be a lot of problems with that unit. And having separate DAC/amp/BT seems prudent in case a unit goes bad or I want to upgrade one piece.
So now I'm thinking of getting topping D30 DAC, and pairing it with 1) a headphone amp to be determined , and 2) some random BT receiver that has digital out. I had been considering a Chromecast Audio but suddenly it seems they're not available anymore. The BT receiver I'm looking at right now is this https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Receiver-Wireless-Streaming-Connections/dp/B07GTKH3ZK I would have to move the DAC back and forth from computer to hifi at times, but that's OK for now. And eventually I can buy a 2nd DAC.
My question is: should I spend any time at all deciding what BT receiver to get? Or does it not really matter as long as it has good reviews and has digital out? The sound quality will depend entirely on the DAC in that case, right? If it does matter, please recommend a better BT receiver.
Thanks!
