Bluetooth audio streaming through Qu-Drive

[JamieF]

Hi there,

Just curious if anyone has tried streaming Bluetooth audio to a USB Bluetooth receiver through the QU-Drive port? Not sure if it’s possible but would free up all the other channels on the board for other inputs.

Thanks!

Input through USB won’t be possible. Having a USB powered receiver with a 3.5mm output to ST3 could work

There is not much need to bring usb into the picture since most if not all bluetooth receivers have 3.5 mm audio jacks.

As an alternative thought, I use an Apple Airport Express and run a TOSlink cable through to a small spare DAC I have.
Airplay is ALAC (Apple’s compressed lossless audio), which from my own listening experiences sounds better than Bluetooth audio. Of course everyone’s mileage varies.
