BluDento 5.4 aptX Lossless, LDAC,aptX HD,Bluetooth Audio Receiver, Designed for Home Stereo & Pre Amplifier & External DAC

Excellent, clear sound eminates from my Edifier powered speakers from this amazing BluDento BLT-HD device. That says it all for me.

I have a decent hifi set-up and have no need or use for a bluetooth receiver. However, sometimes my wife or daughter want to play Spotify from their mobile phones through my speakers. Until now it wasn't possible but I bought myself the BluDento as a cheap and cheerful option. No apps needed, just the easy matter of pairing your phone with the BLT-HD and away you go, simple. Straight out of the box it's dead simple to set-up. Literally plug it in via the supplied USB power lead (you will need to provide your own 5v USB plug socket though as this is not supplied) and connect up to your amp or dac. I have it connected both via the RCA outputs (which utilises the BLT-HD's own dac) and via the Toslink output into my own dac. Through my own dac is the best, only just though, believe me there is hardly any difference with the RCA outputs. I've been listening to it for over an hour now from my phone and I have had no cut-outs whatsoever, I'm sitting approx 3 metres away. Look I'm not trying to say this is high end audio but it is very good for the money. There's literally hundreds of these types of units for sale on the web so you pays your money and you takes your choice, but if you just want a bog standard but decent bluetooth receiver with no bells and whistles you can't go wrong with one of these.

I upgraded from a cheaper £15 model of bluetooth receiver and the quality difference is immediately noticeable. I'm not an audiophile but I have a decent Marantz amp and 2 pairs of B&W speakers and with this receiver connected by RCA the sound is greatly improved over what I had previously. It comes with cables in the box for a quick setup and pairs easily with mine or a friend's phone immediately. No problems with it and very happy.

Exceptionally easy to set up and use - allows streaming from a mobile device to your hifi. Sounds good but not audiophile grade. I am feeding the digital signal from it to my DAC and found that it is always at 96k regardless of the bit rate of the stream - i.e. it converts whatever the stream is to this bit rate and will not output 192k. I also found that a Qobuz stream at 96k or 192k does not sound as good as the same stream at 48k via my existing network streamer (probably not a surprise since it is 20x the price!). Overall more than happy with it for the price and would recommend it.

I bought this to use in my office as an old WiFi receiver gave up on me. I was not sure how well Bluetooth would cope with real hifi. I am pleased to say that I was very pleasantly surprised I was at the sound quality this unit delivers - I guess the internal DAC helps? The sound quality is really good - I would say as near to CD quality as it gets. Listening to music from my iphone the unit has picked out much more detail in the music than I got from my wifi receiver. Overall - a great little unit at a very reasonable price. And if you have an issue, their customer support were extremely helpful (my issue was just one of delivery which was not their fault).

Really easy to set up and use. The sound quality is as good as you can get when you are listening to music through bluetooth. Delivery was fast and the package had all the necessary stuff in order to plug and play. Definitely recommend this device in order to enable smooth bluetooth connectivity for your powered speakers!

Been using the Bluedento HD for almost 3 weeks, and have tested all ways to connect it to my Marantz amp. All of them RCA, SPDIF and Coaxial digital worked fine. Overall sound quality is excellent, using the APT-HD protocol. I have paired it easily with my android phone, tablet and laptop with onboard bluetooth, and PC with a logitech bluetooth dongle. No problems at all getting reckognised and connecting to all devices Overall I would say it is an excellent, although not cheap choice.

I connected the BLT-HD to my Rotel A10 through 60cm QED Performance Audio 2 cables. The sound (320kb mp3) (with a decent switching power supply with ferrites on the DC wire) is just brilliant: smooth, fluid, very solid in the bass, natural, clean, and with a very good transient response on acoustic guitars. The connection (AptX) is very stable. Brilliant little thing, recommended. Only one minor complaint: the device is nicely made, but it's light, and if I hadn't added some tiny rubber feet on the bottom, the QED cables would happily pull it off the top of my CD player...

Outstanding Product - Excellent Sound Quality ! Easy To Use. Highly Recommend It To Anyone!

This BluDento BLT-HD is simply outstanding in build quality, features, connectivity, and yes - sound. What great, gorgeous sound on my Sony ES home theater/music setup! Forget your own biases and your adopted "audiophile guru" friend's outdated biases against bluetooth audio quality. This product shatters those outdated preconceptions about bluetooth limitations when it comes to hi-fi sound. This amazing thing delivers beautifully dynamic, full range, detailed, and tonally accurate sound that I truly cannot distinguish from my very best CD recordings. I cannot speak to other Hi-Res sources, which are great, but I do not own or feel pressed to own right now. CD quality is fine with me for now, even though I believe from description and specs that the BluDento BLT-HD is able to exceed CD quality. When I listen to San Antonio's KPAC classical FM radio (yes, radio!), CD's, DVD's, BluRay's, or stream Pandora from my LG Stylo 2 Plus smartphone, silence is jet black with perfect stillness. Double Fortissimo is thunderous. No hissing or other clutter in the background. Treble is crystal clear, and not strident or harsh, at all. Bass is full and rich, as is the midrange. My system: Sony STR-ZA3000ES receiver; Sony SSCS5 bookshelf speaker × 4 (fronts and surrounds); SSCS8 center; SACS9 subwoofer; Sewell Silverback 12 AWG speaker wire; MediaBridge, KabelDirekt, Monoprice, and Amazon Basics interconnects; Sennheiser RS 160 RF wireless headphones (transmitter's input at its 3.5mm female plug received from Zone 2 RCA analog output jacks of Sony ES receiver); and this BluDento BLT-HD connected from its RCA analog output jacks to the Auxillary RCA analog input jacks of Sony ES receiver. With my described setup, my wife and I can currently do many things while relaxing in our recliners, such as watch television (as main zone) with sound muted, while also listening to Pandora or other streamed music/audio from one of our smartphones to the home theater speakers via this BluDento BLT-HD to the Sony ES Auxillary source setting; and also, simultaneously listening through the wireless Sennheiser headphones at any independent volume level to either of the above sources or different sources like FM stereo, CD's, or other sources connected to the Sony ES (as Zone 2). That is real flexibility and a multitasker's dream to simultaneously be free to either listen to and/or watch many different combinations of media from different sources on headphones and/or speakers. We could even add a third activity in the future, perhaps a separate bluetooth transmitter to other speakers or headphones anywhere in the house using the Sony ES's Zone 3 audio capability. Of course, one could simply just blissfully enjoy one thing at a time. The point is that this BluDento BLT-HD now enables us to fully use and enjoy the incredible flexibilities of our already amazing Sony ES/Sennheiser, etc. home theater/music system - with up to the same high level of beautiful sound quality - using bluetooth music/audio streaming sources, e.g. via smartphone or computer with bluetooth (up to 5.0 with AptX for highest quality). You may opt for any of the handful of fine competing devices currently out there, including the very capable but more expensive Audioengine B1, but I just truly doubt any of them will consistently and convincingly beat this BluDento in a proper side-by-side blind listening test, i.e. you will not at all regret getting this fine unit. I very highly recommend it. Update 12-31-2018: Still enjoying this very much with our new Amazon Music subscription started just before the Christmas holiday. We have played our favorite music for hours on end without any hiccups or glitches, at all. Sound quality is superb at lower volumes for nice background music, and just gets better and better when cranking the often underrated Sony ES way up high in the sky (for an occasional Zeppelin moment). Update 4-21-2019: Our BluDento BLT-HD has been on constantly for five months with heavy use, and is still working beautifully. Flawlessly. It is one of my very favorite additions to our home theater/music set up. I definitely plan to purchase another unit when we build our secondary HT/music set up. Update 8-28-2020: Still cranking out seriously beautiful music, internet radio station apps, etc. effortlessly and without any hitches. Friends have been getting plenty of fun and amazement trying it out with their smartphones and their various old school AV receivers that were just collecting dust. It sounds great with all of them. Still a flawless and brilliant work horse with nearly constant daily use. Update 12/21/2021: Gifted my great BLT-HD, Sennheiser HD600's, and Sch*** Audio stack as an early Christmas gift to a family member who has been without any good audio equipment for years. He loves them. It still works great. I plan to repurchase another one soon. On another review comment about not getting the HD data transmitted from a Moto G6 smartphone to this BLT-HD receiver, my understanding is the Moto G6 (2018 model) is equipped to transmit with Bluetooth version 4.2, whereas the BLT-HD is equipped to receive Bluetooth version 5.0. A device which transmits Bluetooth 5.0 can transmit much more audio information and do so faster than a device transmitting in Bluetooth version 4.2. The kicker is that to derive "all" of the benefits of aptX HD audio via Bluetooth 5.0 is for BOTH transmitter and receiver to be equipped for Bluetooth version 5.0. Otherwise, a Bluetooth receiver in version 5.0 like BLT-HD is backward compatible to other "lower" non-HD codecs transmitted via Bluetooth version 4.2. So, not to worry, if your smartphone is 4.2 and the BLT-HD at 5.0. The BLT-HD will still function and receive enough of the data, and sound really great, but just not as "high-def" as it would if both devices were perfectly Bluetooth version 5.0 compatible. Bottom line: you will still get great sound, just not the "perfect" sound that your oscilloscope is telling you that you "should" be hearing. Such compatibilty matches are important only if you must have the latest and greatest technical specs on paper that are out there. Your ears will be the final judge, and with my "crummy" non-5.0 transmitters, the BLT-HD works just fine for me.

Excelente. De buena calidad. Se conecta muy fácilmente y tiene muy buen alcance a pesar de estar a dos pisos de distancia con paredes anchas.

Fue regalo para mi hijo para actualizar un receptor Blutooth Logitech 980 de hace unos 10 años, lo primero que me dijo fué que notó mayor volumen y separacion de canales, además de mucho mayor calidad percibida en el aparato desde que lo sacó de su caja. Lo tiene conectado a un Margules ADE-24 analog/digital enhancer + ecualizador de bulbos + un Denon AVR5803.

I bought this little fella for my media room, so I can use my Android Phone's aptX HD to stream music to my Peachtree Nova 150 that is still waiting for its long-ago-promised wireless upgrade card. It is connected to the Peachtree integrated amplifier (and B&W CM6 speakers) by RCA cables and optical, so I can compare the DACs by hitting different input buttons on the remote. In a word, it sounds GREAT for BT. I did not know BT audio could sound this good. I am especially impressed with the built-in DAC at this price point. I believe my Yamaha CD player utilizes the same or a similar Burr Brown DAC, and the sound is familiar. The DAC in my Peachtree is clearer, more 3D sounding, and has less "smear," but it is a much more expensive unit, and the Burr Brown is good enough that I honestly forget which one I am listening to at times. The Burr Brown DAC sounds "sweeter" in the midrange and treble and "rounder" in the bass--a little more "colored" overall, but certainly not objectionable and better than most A/V receivers, believe it or not. I imagine this DAC blows away anything near its price point, and it certainly matches or beats any of the Bluetooth receivers I have heard. BluDento hit it out of the park with this device. The BT connection is rock solid, and the range is very good. I have not tested its limits, but I can walk around my 3K sq/ft house and experience no drop-outs. It is a little needy, in that it always wants to connect to my phone, but I solved that by plugging the power into the service USB port in the back of the amp, which is switched on with the amp's power. Five stars.
