Auris Blume HD Long Range Bluetooth 5.3 Music Receiver Hi-Fi Audio Adapter with Audiophile DAC, LDAC & AptX HD for Home Stereo, AV Receiver or Amplifier

After a few months using this thing heavily, I'm in love. - Range: awesome. Obviously if you are sending through a bunch of walls it's going to lose signal pretty quickly, but otherwise I'm able to play music on my indoor speakers while sitting outside, a level below, with a window between, 40ft away. You won't be disappointed. - Sound quality: I have sharp ears and listen on high-end speakers (Focal 826s), and I'm shocked how crisp transients come through. It truly does feel "CD quality" even though I had my doubts going in. If there's loss or distortion in the high frequencies or subs, it's negligible, and complaints made by others about a loss in soundstage (or any major aspect of sound quality) were not noticeable. Plus, the BT sends so quickly between this and your device that there's almost no de-synchronization if you're watching movies or TV and want to make sure the characters' lips move in time with the dialogue. - Setup: took me 2 minutes maximum, including the time I spent pulling my system away from the wall to plug the cables into it. Didn't even have to read the manual. It's very intuitive and very responsive. Then I've got it plugged into my receiver so every time I turn my system on, I just wait a second and the thing pairs to my phone with a "beep" ; there's no hassle, no friction -- I don't even have to do anything. It works so well I forget about it almost entirely. - Build quality - while the plastic feels somewhat cheap on the power button, overall it's weighty and sturdy and I have no concerns that the physical hardware. Time will tell about the electronics, but my overall experience suggests that corners were not cut there either. Works perfectly every time. Only issue is the cables it comes with -- they feel pretty cheap and flimsy. They sound OK and it's easy to get new ones, but on a hifi-marketed device you expect a bit more attention to be paid to something like that. - Conclusion: there's nothing I truly dislike about this little guy. The cables aren't great but who really cares? It delivers on everything I hoped it would do, and it's worth every penny! Definitely recommend.

I don't write reviews. I am old and well, pretty much old school. I have an antique analog stereo receiver. Use it to listen to local FM and play from collection of classic vinyl albums. Ran across this DAC and noted all the positive reviews. Thought I would give it a try and at this price I figured no harm done. It is fantastic. I am no techno wiz but plugged it in, connected it to the receiver , pared the blue tooth and bottabing. So easy! The sound is fantastic with very good stereo separation. Very happy with this purchase. New life for an old stereo.

Works really well. the only thing is that it can only pair one at a time. I needed to keep at 2 devices. but I can live with that. the audio quality is outstanding. I needed my IPAD where I use Tidal HiRES to stream music to my mixer which then serves as music to my music gig. what impressed me is that IF the quality of the stream from ipad sucks, so does the output, BUT if the stream is beautifully done (Hi Res), then the output is very very good. I Highly recommend this product if you only need 1 single pair at a time. I also want to add the music is warm, not too detailed, but female and male vocals are close to surreal. NOW to be fair, It does not equal a direct DAC connection NOR is the internal dac of this Auris can match the sound of a my HoloAudio May DAC that runs about $5.0K. for simple BT connections and stream music via IPAD to a PRO Audio Music DJ system, this is Hard to Beat that's why I gave these 5 stars even if I am disappointed that I cannot have to devices attached to it

I bought this unit after doing some research on the hi-fi forums and seeing a few mentions of this product as being a good choice for people who stream from their mobile devices. My main music source is my phone with Amazon Music HD so I didn’t need a full DAC with multiple component inputs on the back. The Auris arrived quickly, packaging was great, and installation was very straight forward with my integrated amp, a Marantz PM8006. I’ve been using the Auris for a week now and performance has been flawless. I really like that it works great even if you leave it turned on all the time. With other Bluetooth devices, I sometimes find that leaving it on all the time can cause a buffering problem that results in a ‘skipping’ sound during playback. Usually a power cycle will fix it but it’s annoying and I have seen this with multiple brands. With this Auris, however, none of that happens. The connection is very stable even when the unit is left on for days and has multiple devices connecting to it, and the operating distance is crazy good. Seriously, this thing can stayed connected and sound good at a surprising distance. Sound quality is also very good to my ears, especially when playing music at 24-bit. I don’t have any audio sources that go higher than 24-bit so can’t comment on performance there. Overall, a great value especially if you want good sound from your phone or tablet but don’t need all the features, cost and bulk of a full DAC.

It works fine. Pairs up with my phone, ipad, or computer. Good sound from my stereo.

I was very surprised to get this quality of sound from a bluetooth receiver that only cost $100.00. Setup and installation was so simple a 5 year old could do it. I will tell you though that the quality of sound you get from it is only as good as the audio equipment you connect it to. If you are using a weak amp or receiver and cheap speakers you are not going to get great sound. But a quality amp or receiver and quality speakers connected to this streamer will give you outstanding audio. The unit is very small but don't let that fool you. Great things can come in small packages.

Yep! I really enjoy this HD Bluetooth DSC! I can listen to my home stereo system using my music apps on my cell phone. The sound quality is amazing, the setup and connectivity is very easy. I’m really enjoying my new found flexibility.

A vast improvement over the little Monster brand receiver I had been using to connect my laptop to my stereo. High quality sound and better volume. Clear instructions, but not really needed. Had to make some adjustments to my 2025 HP computer but nothing unexpected. If you have any problems it will be in the computer, not the receiver. We stream classical music all day and evening without a hitch or glitch.

Though this is a bit highly priced bluetooth DAC, but it does a pretty good job in producing nice sound quality. I am using it with the digital optical option and the output is directed to a 5.1 converter and from there it leads to a very old F&D 5.1 channel home theater. I am liking the sound that it produces via bluetooth from either my Samsung phone or my IPad. But not to forget if someone is wanting a real audiophile grade audio with a dedicated special proprietor chip like a BurrBrown or Sabre then go for IFi Zen One Hi- Res. bluetooth DAC which is much more costlier than the Auris blume but provides sound which seems out of the world. A picture of the Ifi Zen one is also there in the picture provided in this review. Kindly check.

Conecte blue me a mi antiguo pero confiable amplificador Yamaha y me ha permitido seguir gozándolo aunado a mis bocinas de hifi pro con música digital desde mi celular una gran compra pues la salida además de rca tiene para cable óptico

A los 6 meses aproximadamente de la compra. No reconocía ningún dispositivo blotooth, imposible emparejarlo con el equipo Pedimos al fabricantes si nos podía ayudar y no nos contestó la manera de emparejarlo. Por lo que atención al cliente de Amazon nos recomendó devolverlo y nos ha devuelto el 100% del coste Una lástima porque funcionaba bien

Dispositivo di facile utilizzo, connessione al mio tablet ipad veloce e affidabile, collegato le uscite analogiche a un preamplificatore NAD e l'impianto suona molto bene. Il ricevitore e' esteticamente gradevole, la disposizione dei connettori e' razionale e la gestione del power-down dopo la disconnessione dal tablet e' funzionale.

Appena connesso al mio Cambridge l'Auris Blume HD (con cavi RC Audio di qualità schermati e con connettori placcati oro) si è messo in ricerca di una fonte Bluetooth, ho cominciato ad appaiarlo con il mio iPhone. Comincio a riprodurre un po' di Jazz: Matt Penman (The Catch of the day). Ad un primo ascolto la qualità del suono è buona ma non sconvolgente (anche se decisamente meglio del 1Mii 3D Sound provato alcuni mesi fa e prontamente restituito) e necessita di una o due tacche di volume in più rispetto al collegamento diretto via cavo, sarà forse per la conversione e compressione dei file caricati su iPhone rippati da Cd e trasferiti tramite iTunes e compressi nuovamente dal trasferimento Bluetooth? Provo così ad appaiarlo al MacBook Pro (scollegando il Bluetooth da iPhone) e a riprodurre "The Secret of the Beehive" di David Sylvian direttamente dal NAS in formato FLAC... ed è tutto un altro mondo!!! Sembra di ascoltare il Cd o il vinile! Il suono è decisamente più dettagliato e pieno grazie al DAC interno all'Auris, i bassi profondi e coinvolgenti e la voce di Sylvian innegabilmente calda e suadente. Passo all'ascolto delle "Quattro Stagioni" di Vivaldi eseguite dai Musici di San Marco sempre in formato FLAC e l'effetto sinfonico da camera è immediato. Per verificare meglio la qualità sonora mi spingo a "La Sagra della Primavera" di Stravinsky con la direzione di Lorin Maazel e la Cleveland Sinphony Orchestra... l'incipit molto flebile al limite dell'udibile dei flauti dell'introduzione richiede un aumento di volume ma quando via via la musica esplode con gli archi e tutta l'orchestra bisogna correggere il volume verso il basso. Proverò con altre fonti e con diversi tipi di musica nei vari formati, molto dipende da come i file vengono digitalizzati.. alcuni files Mp3 che riprodotti dal telefono o dal computer sembrano "spenti", non so come ma riprendono vita sul mio impianto, se masterizzati su CD in formato audio e riprodotti dal mio CD Arcam che ha un doppio DAC potentissimo. Tuttavia tutto si supera riproducendo file in formato Apple Loseless (m4a) ed utilizzando il buon equalizzatore fornito da iTunes, ci si può sbizzarrire con le varie opzioni ed ovviare alla leggera mancanza di potenza aumentando i decibel del preamplificatore fino a superare in potenza le altre fonti sonore. In conclusione l'Auris Blume HD è un buon prodotto per impianti stereo Hi-Fi medi e/o commerciali per l'uso di tutti i giorni, mentre per gli audiofili forse meglio aspettare la commercializzazione del'Auris Blume Pro che ha un DAC notevolmente superiore l'ESS Sabre montato anche su alcuni Cambridge moderni.
