IFI Zen Blue 3 Hi-Fi transmitter and receiver, lossless bluetooth 5.4

Works great. Has a long range and clear music stream

Muy buena marca y buenas prestaciones , le falta una buena guia de conexiones para personas no tan profesionales, creo que el equipo da más de lo que uno supone

Buen receptor de Bluetooth. Para los que sean perfeccionistas del audio, vale la pena el dinero empleado. Yo solo la uso para la reproducción en streaming y se nota la diferencia de calidad del sonido.

This was a necessary addition to my SONY STR-AN1000 AVR which only supports LDAC and SBC BT audio codecs. Since purchasing the BW Px7 S3 headphones which support the APTX family of codecs I was connecting with SBC only. Using the receiver's Zone 3 RCA audio outputs I'm able to connect with all the APTX codecs and pairing was a breeze. The ability to stream in APTX Lossless and Adaptive from my apps and networked files was well worth the upgrade. The unit is solidly built using aluminum casing and has excellent range with it TX function. It also acts as a receiver and DAC but I'm just using it for BT transmission. There are several other units on the market right now that are cheaper but I chose the iFi Zen Blue 3 having prior experience with their phono preamp and appreciate the build and sound quality of their products. I won't go into setup as it's dependent on your equipment and use case but I had little trouble getting everything up and running. It works as advertised. The only thing I did notice was the need to boost the volume from your output a bit higher than you normally would on both your receiver and the blue 3. I suggest going over the instructions for using multi-zone audio outs on your receiver which can get tricky when using a zone 3 output.

Behold, wireless CD-quality sound, devoid of any compression artifacts. This is the purest, most authentic form of CD-quality sound in its original 16-bit @ 44.1 kHz format, transmitted wirelessly in aptX Lossless codec. The photograph clearly documents the evidence of 16-bit @ 44.1 kHz aptX Lossless transmission (TX) and reception (RX), the color of the lights on the iFi Zen Blue 3 confirms this, as well does the receiver with the actual read out. This transceiver, the iFi Zen Blue 3, is the pinnacle of technological achievement, employing the Qualcomm QCC5181 chipset and the Sabre ESS Premier 9023 stereo digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The latter boasts a dynamic range of 112 dB and jitter-free sound quality due to its patented Hyperstream architecture. This device is the gold standard for Bluetooth wireless technology. It is a testament to the adage that one should never settle for anything less than the pinnacle of excellence. Pairing was straightforward, fast, easy and nearly automatic, rest assured that this is the real deal, why settle for anything less. I found the iFi Zen Blue 3 to be rock solid in transmitting (TX) the aptX Lossless codec and rock-solid receiving (RX) the aptX Lossless codec, 10 stars for rock-solid signal strength and signal stability. Just go ahead and pull the trigger on this and buy it, you know you want it, and in the end, you won’t be sorry that you did. Its backwards compatible with all bluetooth codecs, so this leaves you plenty of time for upgrading at your own pace, toward aptX lossless on all your devices, making them all of audiophile quality.
