Review: Pretty damn fine! - Just purchased this on the strength of the other reviews. I used to use an Arcam AirDac (now discontinued). The sound quality of the AirDac was amazing, but suffered from intermittent drop outs due to our very poor home wi-fi signal. So as soon as I spotted this new device that worked off more reliable bluetooth, and not wanting to pay more for the AirDac's replacement (the irDAC), I jumped at the chance! Now I am a fan of streaming direct from my own, personally remastered (thanks to Platinum Notes software) high quality mp3 library sat on my Mac. Personally I think web streaming lacks the quality and you have no control over the limiting. My 320kb/s mp3 files sound pretty damn fine, so do my 24bit Beatles collection. Now the only other thing I will try is pairing this rBlink to my AirDac via the digital coax port. This 'should' deactivate the DAC in the rBlink turning it into a simple bluetooth receiver and allow the AirDAC's superior DAC to take over, meaning I'll get the best of both worlds. MacBook Pro > rBlink > AirDAC (via coax) > Rega Brio R (amazing amp) > 2 x Dynaudio 2/6s (clean, neutral sound). Happy days! :) Review: Too good? - This is a great piece of kit but beware; it will cruelly show up any weaknesses in your 'digital chain'. I received mine very recently. I have been experimenting with BBC iPlayer via a Samsung Galaxy s5 'phone into a fairly high-end stereo set-up. When it's all running sweetly, the sound quality is glorious BUT digital glitches and fluffs are frequent. This is clearly no fault of the Arcam, the 'phone sits about 2 metres from it with no other processes running and in an area of strong reception from the home hub which is also otherwise 'un-exercised'. There are no obvious sources of radio-frequency interference within the house - but who knows what the neighbours are up to?! I am inclined to blame the fibre broadband - which can be exceedingly slow - and consequent buffering failure. But whatever the explanation, the interference does not make for happy listening. Podcasts - pre-downloaded - seem probably to work better but there are still occasional imperfections - which do not recur on rewind / replay so must be put down to Bluetooth transmission / reception glitches. All of these experiments thus far have been with R3 downloads - which are high quality / high bit-rate hence likelier to run into difficulties. It's been said before of course but for reliable digital sound, nothing beats a direct wired connection. ## Features - Streaming high quality music from your favourite mobile device is now easy with the rBlink Bluetooth audio converter - Engineered by Arcam, and using the aptX transmission system, the rBlink allows any Bluetooth enabled music device to quickly and easily send music straight to a HiFi system with stunning quality - The rBlink uses a high-end PCM 5102 DAC to convert music to a line level output ready for connection to a whole host of audio systems - Installation is easy with a simple pairing system for new devices. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B007THY044 | | Brand | Arcam | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (100) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05060133602194 | | Interface | RCA | | Item Weight | 0.3 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Arcam | | Mounting Type | Cable Mount | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Number of Pins | 4 | | UPC | 133588539980 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Arcam - **Interface type:** RCA - **Mounting type:** Cable Mount - **Number of channels:** 1 - **Number of pins:** 4 ## Images ![Arcam RBLINK Audiophile Bluetooth Converter, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lxL4UQ4hL.jpg) ![Arcam RBLINK Audiophile Bluetooth Converter, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61fC39Qa+YL.jpg) ![Arcam RBLINK Audiophile Bluetooth Converter, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Nfi5JRONL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty damn fine! *by M***H on 15 May 2017* Just purchased this on the strength of the other reviews.

It provides excellent sound quality through my hi-fi system and it is difficult to distinguish the quality of digital music played from my phone from CDs played on my hi-fi CD player. It does everything I want it to do and does it well. It is well worth the admittedly substantial cost. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ma/products/48506191-arcam-rblink-audiophile-bluetooth-converter-black](https://www.desertcart.ma/products/48506191-arcam-rblink-audiophile-bluetooth-converter-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Morocco* *Store origin: MA* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
