I was looking for a Bluetooth DAC to stream music on my system in a dedicated listening room. I do know that Bluetooth is not really hi-rez. But with newer tech like aptX that companies like Arcam use, the sound fidelity has gotten much better. One another limitation in my system was that it is has a "passive" preamp. So the source (like CDP or DVD players or HR Receiver) need to have a healthy voltage to drive the amp. This unit checked out on all my requirements:AKM DAC2V outputaptXRCA outOptical outI had not heard of this unit till I did a serious search on the internet for Bluetooth(BT). I compared the specs to some BT DACs upto $500 and this one was all that i was needed. Nevertheless, I was a bit skeptic from my previous experience using a Logitech BT, which had a very low output voltage. The sound was anemic in my passive system. Amazon shipped the unit pretty fast and I did not waste time to hook it up in my main system. I used a Samsung Tab A to stream songs from FolkAlley and Spotify. When the first notes from Folk Alley came on, I was AMAZED. Yes, this perfectly suited my system. All I have to do is set the BT volume on the tablet to FULL. If a user is using a regular receiver or integrated amplifier, you probably will have the BT set to only 50% of the volume, since the built-in preamplifier in your receiver/amp will amplify the sound to necessary volume. Connection is stable and I have tried to connect to this unit via the Samsung Tab A from 2 floors up. My listening room is in the basement. I have to be on the stairs between first and second floor to get a connection.Had some friends over and pairing was very simple. Though they are now music enthusiasts like me, they were amazed to hear how their Spotify music sounds in a dedicated listening room. I could not do this previously since my system is passive and lacked a BT receiver.Soundwise, it sounds phenomenal for a BT Receiver. The DACs are the same as in some megabuck dedicated CD/SACD players. I use the free Spotify and not the premium version. So cannot comment on really hi-rez streaming. But I am so happy with the sound quality, that I decided to give this unit a shout-out using the Amazon review. I did forgot to mention that this unit feels "solid" and not like cheap plastic. So you get the ownership pride too. I wish I was aware of this product when the kickstarter project kicked off.Now for the negative:The biggest gripe is, the beautifully boxed device comes with everything as mentioned on their website, EXCEPT for the USB charger that goes into the power outlet. I really did not understand why this pas not included.As for the authenticity of my "ears" and experience, you can checkout my system at the link below and judge my review:[...]I went with the Black version, since it gels well in my system. I will soon update my system page with a picture of this unit.

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.

Looks, feels and works as a well engineered piece of audio equipment. It allows me to access my library of iTunes music to be enjoyed with my still great sounding BOSE devices.Easy to connect. Easy to use. Easy to enjoy.

Works beautifully in terms of streaming to my old amplifier and speakers. Color coded plugs which made it easy to plug into my amplifier. Music from Spotify sounds great.

Easy to hookup, and pairing with all my Apple Mac Pro equipment was a relatively easy process. Using my Itunes BT signal for example, I am routing it thru a NAD-C165BEE preamp with right and left input (hook-ups included in box). The sound quality, and channel L+R separation is very defined and not bad. This is not a mono signal. Speakers are powered by 2 piggybacked Onkyo Power Amps @150 watts. My equipment is within 30ft range of each other. Unit boasts 100' range. So far, a good bargin for the money.

Excellent Bluetooth receiver.Fantastic sound quality, does not drop the connection, always visible and pairs quickly with all phones and my computer.This is by far the best one I've tried.The hardware is also top quality. It's not a cheap enclosure. All metal, can take a beating.I have zero complains.

Very thankful that someone finally came up with this idea. Easy hook-up to my 25 y/o receiver and pairing with my wireless sources. The sound quality is pretty amazing considering all of the 'hands' the sound has to go through to come out of my Klipsch floor speakers and sub-woofer. Also, the auris support folks were great to work with to ensure I knew which inputs to hook up to on my receiver even before I purchased their device!!! Spend the money if you'd like to utilize that old sound system in modern streaming mode, you'll be glad you did...

This unit is a pleasure to use,initial setup was easy and sound quality as good as CD to my ears..ive already recommended this product to friends in the vintage audio hobby

When it comes to music, I make no bones about it. I am old school. I have a large collection of vinyl and 100s of CD's (and even some slightly stretched and distorted cassettes!). These are normally played through my ancient (but wonderful) NAD 3020A amplifier and a pair of more recently acquired ELAC speakers. After much pressure, I have moved begrudgingly into the 21st century and got one of these bluetooth devices so I could stream music through my hifi system. In true 'man style' I didn't bother to read the instruction manual which came with the Auris BluMe HD but found that, despite this, setup took just a few minutes to plug the phono cables into the back of the amp and connect to a power supply. Even for a technological incompetent such as myself, pairing my android phone to the device was straight forward and now I can stream a bunch of tracks I don't have in my vinyl/CD collection. The audio quality is excellent. I can't comment on the wifi range as I tend to be in the same room but its great. Cheaper versions are around but I can't complain about the music quality. Well worth the money.

The sound is crisp and clean, probably the best Bluetooth receiver I have tried. If you’ve got good speakers and a good amp, you will be able to tell the difference between this and the cheap ones. The build quality is really good and the range is really good too.

Sehr gute Tonqualität und Reichweite. Der hohe Preis lohnt sich.
