1Mii LDAC Bluetooth 5.3 Music Receiver with Audiophile 384 kHz / 32 bit Decoding DAC | aptX HD, Long Range Hi-Fi Bluetooth Audio Receiver for Streaming to Home Stereo, AV Receiver, Amplifier

This arrived today and it was a pleasant surprise to see the packaging for this receiver; it was very nicely designed and there are all the cables you'll need to get it connected to an amp (inc. digital, an RCA, and RCA to 3.5mm jack), plus all the support information you need right there. I have bought similar products in the past and none of them put together packaging of this nature.Okay enough of that, what about the sound quality?The device is easy to set up and use; but there was one thing that caught me out.I purchased this for LDAC connection and on first set up - it did not work! Or at least it appeared like it didn't work. Turn out the device contains one small limitation.LDAC does not work with the optical out port. To get LDAC you need to use the RCA connection.This is not obvious from the information provided; it is implied on a small card that sort of says turn off LDAC if device can't output 96kps and it mentions optical as well. It could be made explicit; however, not going to mark the product down for this because... the sound is wonderful and rich and far better than the nonsense ACC codec that the previous receiver passed off as quality.This is quality.The aptX HD codec works fine with optical and it's sound was very good there as well. Would have been happy to live with that so of you buy this to play music at that level it's still very decent device.Is it worth the money?Yeah, I'd recommend this to anyone.It's a well put together device that performs lovely.

Smart simple well made and compact, the DS200Pro paired easily to my iPhone XR and is ready to go each time you switch on - no faffing around checking connections. I used the phono connectors to connect the unit to my amp (Denon PMA-520AE) which doesn't have an optical interface. The streamed sound quality from Spotify through the speakers (Q Acoustic 3050i Floor standing) is significantly better than a previous Bluetooth receiver we had, in fact it is now getting closer to the vinyl sound from the record deck (Garrard 301).I use a number of test tracks to test for specific audio nuances and one of these is "Private Investigations - Remastered 2022" by Dire Straits. At 4m 47s there is a cat meowing followed by some breaking glass at 5m 51s - the previous device did not decode this, however the DS200Pro delivers it in all it's glory.Also noted is the clarity of the piano playing during the guitar solo in "The Bluest Blues" by Alvin Lee and also in Ben Woods fantastic Acoustic guitar cover of "You Got Another Thing Coming" originally by Judas Priest.And then finally the array of instruments are decoded in superb clarity on "Let A Smile Be Your Umbrella" by Bing Crosby.The DS200Pro is a great buy, well worth the money and thoroughly recommended.

This is a good little unit. The seller contacted me with a lot of technical tips on setup, I guess because I'm the first buyer and he was nervous about getting a bad review due to buyer confusion over receivers vs. transmitters, vs. amps, etc. No need. It works well for what I wanted: streaming audio to powered speakers.The sound seems very good, paired with high quality studio monitors. People's voices sound like they're in the room, plucks of guitar strings sound very full and real, etc. Haven't specifically gone out and found a FLAC or other lossless audio source yet (just HD), but so far, can't fault its audio quality at all.The unit itself is nicer than I expected. A matt aluminium (or other metal) finish, rather than the plastic I thought I was getting. A nice surprise. Maybe I should have read the description better and I wouldn't have been surprised. Anyway, it's well made, and feels good in the hand.The only real flaw is that the led flashes red and blue when your phone or other device has disconnected, even though it's paired. I expected that once the device had a pairing, it would quietly sit there and wait for the paired device to reconnect. Instead it flashes red/blue VERY brightly (a bit like a tiny police beacon) when not actively connected. Very annoying. For now I put some opaque surgical tape over the led, but that's pretty ugly. I guess you want to just cover/limit it with a black permanent marker, or something.

My Sonos Connect died recently. I was using it to play digital music through the speakers on my old stereo unit. The new version of the Sonos Connect gets not-so-great reviews, and I didn't really want to be on the Sonos bandwagon any longer. So I started looking for Bluetooth alternatives to use with the old stereo, along with my Bluetooth LG TV soundbar and JBL portable Bluetooth speaker instead of my Sonos speakers. The reviews for the 1Mii LDAC were so good that I took the plunge and bought one.I have been really pleased with the results. The 1Mii LDAC sounds fantastic when playing my old CDs which have been converted to ALAC format and imported into the Apple Music app on my iPad. The iPad lets me select any of the three locations to play, so it's just like a Sonos system except that you can't play all three locations all together at the same time, which was no big loss for me.I'm using the supplied RCA leads plugged to the Aux In of my old stereo system, and it works like a charm. I cannot tell the difference between playing an actual CD on the system or playing an ALAC copy via the iPad and the 1Mii LDAC. I'm very pleased with it - it's a no-fuss high-quality solution for digital to analogue conversion. I have since sold off my Sonos speakers which more than paid for the purchase of the 1Mii LDAC, so I'm very happy with my decision to change to a Bluetooth based system.
