Bluetooth streaming amplifier

[delta76]

I'm using Onkyo NR809 as a temporarily setup to drive Focal Aria 948 until my x4700h arrives - if it ever does. As a newbie I'm curious about things and wonder if there is any reason for me to try out a bluetooth streaming amplifier. Something like this https://shenzhenaudio.com/products/...bluetooth5-0-remote-control-digital-amplifier . reputable (?) brand, seems to have good DAC, decent power (more than enough to drive my speakers to normal listening volume), generally cheap price.

So what is the catch?

It's Chinese. That doesn't mean it's not a good product, just that pricing can be lower for the quality received.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.

Yeah looked it up and it seems to be quite popular here. Great value but QC can be a hit or miss. I ordered Sabaj a20a

They already shipped and will probably arrive monday. I am quite impressed

It is coming tomorrow, very fast shipping. As sevaral others mentioned the seller uses Amazon logistics. Can wait to test it.

no it's not. I'm mistaken with another package from Amazon. My actual package is not yet shipped yet. So much for excitement

it's turned out they shipped from China, even though I explicitly select EU. Quite a disappointment but not too unexpected from Chinese sellers. Hope the amp lives up to the hype

Hope you will not be charged for duty and taxes.

as most of sellers from China, I expect them to have supplied the VAT form, so I am not too worry about it.

Personally, I wouldn't want a Bluetooth device inside an audio amplifier, due to possible radio interferences.
If you like using a Bluetooth device, try to get a dedicated one with built-in HD audio capability.
I hope you will enjoy your Bluetooth streaming amplifier, if and when it arrives and share impressions about your experience with it.
