Finally got around to using BT in the garage system

107.142.146.197

E-Stat

The iPhone 8 used for Bandcamp/SiriusXM synced immediately to the Fosi integrated and sounds great given the sources. Didn't imagine that would be a feature I would use.

Nice to lose the cables. :)

Similarly the Emotiva processor supports BT and a source not available in the HT system is Qobuz. I could use a phone or pad to handle that. Might give that a whirl tomorrow.

I use Bluetooth from my tablet to my earbuds/IEMs (HiFiMan Svanar LE) when exercising, working in the yard, washing the car, etc. I use Amazon Music HD and the sound is great considering it's Bluetooth. I streamed YouTube from my tablet to a Bluesound Node and it exceeded expectations on the big system.

  when using Apple AirPod Pros with my phone while on the lawn tractor.
  
  I found, however, that my Shure SE535s with custom sleeves reduce more noise than even the AirPods in noise cancellation mode.

I once had a Raspberry Pi and Roon Bridge software connected to my Marshall powered speaker via RCA jacks. This is in the garage. The sound was excellent but not w/o cable clutter. I removed the RPi and associated cabling for a much cleaner setup. I now stream Roon from my iPad or iPhone to the Marshall via bluetooth. It's fine for the garage but unlike some folks we would never consider lossy bluetooth in our primary audio systems. Similarly since I like to travel light I just use my Sony bluetooth noise cancelling headphones and iPhone in my pocket rather than strapping a kludgy audiophile DAC to the setup.

It's not like I'm sitting in a sweet spot to take advantage of stereo speakers while working in the garage.

Probably no chance Nearlink will ever come to the states.

Bluetooth worked well for me to transmit audio outside, although sometimes a bit spotty.

  After listening a while to Christmas music on XM using the integrated's DAC, I find overall sound is a bit better than the Apple dongle.
  
  While not a problem, it does chew up battery faster.

    1 month of 24/7 holiday cheer...at least it was/is in our home.
    
    Other music gets slipped in here and there but for sure any background music is for the holidays.
    
    Here in Japan the tradition is everyone eats KFC on Christmas day for some reason. You actually need to reserve your order a month ahead of time, otherwise its sold out.
