1Mii DS200Pro Bluetooth 5.3 Receiver for Home Stereo, HiFi Wireless Audio Adapter with LDAC, Built-in DAC, Long Range, Optical & RCA Outputs

Very happy to receive the Lavaudio HiFi bluetooth adapter. I am a musician by training and a filmmaker (producer and director), all of which means I spend a lot of time listening to various audio formats through a variety of playback options (headphones, computer speakers, high end audio speakers, etc). My wife is a professional musician, and so we're often listening to different mixes and masters together, again out of various sources in the house or a studio. Lavaudio makes the DS200Pro, and it is a subcompany of 1Mii. I also own the 1Mii BO3 Pro, which is a decent bluetooth receiver/transmitter combination. When watching films with a projector, I use the 1Mii BO3 Pro to wirelessly receive audio from my iMac computer (it's automatically split off from the HDMI out that runs video to the projector). Living in a NYC apt, this is great, b/c I always have to compromise on space and setup, and this allows good flexibility. In terms of latency issues, there's never been a problem using the 1Mii BO3 Pro to watch films, and it works well as a transmitter when I need to wear headphones and watch a film. But there's always been some minor, yet noticeable sound quality issues from the 1Mii, especially when sending higher quality, but also with everyday audio and video applications. With the BO3 Pro playing lossless files, there's latency issues, some dropping that manifests as slight pops and latency delays, and a loss of clarity as well. The Lavaudio DS200 Pro solves all of these with ease. Clarity and dynamic range are noticeably evident, a lovely sound. I am impressed! Music: I tested the DS200 Pro next to the BO3 Pro playing the same four pieces by Johan Johannsson that have a good amount of range, dynamics and acoustic and electronic instrumentation to hear. I used FLAC files streamed from a VLC player from my iMac, into either bluetooth receiver, and into a simple old Yamaha CR-450 (nothin' special!) and out of two Paradigm Monitor SE Atom speakers. I haven't spent a ton of money on this setup. I also streamed some music from Bandcamp with my Google Pixel 4a (which doesn't support 96k sample rates, but anyways, gave it a listen. Still, you're advised to switch OFF LDAC in the bluetooth menu if you're phone doesn't support 96k rates.) All was well with that setup. I don't think I'll use it too much, so I moved on fairly quickly here. Streaming Video: Again I tested both the DS200 Pro and the BO3 Pro next to each other. I streamed Boyhood from the Criterion Collection. It has a quick intro music by Coldplay, some dialogue over the music, then straight into a dialogue scene in a car. I wanted to check on any latency issues and see what else I noticed. First off, the DS200 Pro has the volume I intend to hear the first time, whereas the BO3 Pro I've always had to mess around with volume on my computer, the BO3 device itself, AND my amplifier, and for some reason it never stayed steady. I don't know why and I don't care why, I just know that's something with the BO3 Pro that's always annoyed me to have to dial in every time. Not so with the DS200 Pro -- no problems with volume settings. No problems with latency with either device. Again, though, the DS200 Pro provides noticeably better sound, even when not streaming a lossless file. In this case it wasn't the music itself in the film, nor the dialogue, but rather I felt like I was hearing the mix of the film's audio better. For example in the car when the characters are conversing, some audio mixer spent a lot of time mixing in the sounds of the car, the occasional bird in a tree when they're at a stop sign, etc. It was there and delivered evenly. Finally, I tested the two devices against a DVD of Bladerunner to see how they handled the booms and electronics of Vangelis' soundtrack with the explosions and sound effects. Just the opening sequence and fading down into the first scene with dialogue. Again, the DS200 Pro delivers all of this with out me having to mess with the volume controls -- it just seems more even than the BO3 Pro when it comes to this. With the BO3 Pro I really was always going up and down with the volume a lot, and so far that doesn't seem to be an issue with the DS200 Pro. Great! Of course neither had latency sync issues. Other Positive Things about the DS200 Pro: -Startup: When you turn the DS200 Pro on, it's just on. You don't have to hear that annoying startup jingle that a lot of bluetooth devices play, and there's no connectivity beep either -- those drive me nuts for some reason, and they're often at much high volumes than what I intend to playback. -Size/Features: The DS200 Pro is 50% smaller than the BO3 Pro, and has only one antenna. Less lights and features to look at -- for what it's worth, the BO3 Pro likes to tell you if you're streaming SBC, AptX, etc -- just one single blue light on the front of the DS200 Pro. -Comes with a variety of RCAs, digital output and 5V power adapter. Cord is a little short for the power adapter. -RCA connections on the back of the DS200 Pro are gold plated, nice touch. -There's not much in terms of instructions, just enough to get you connected. If you're using a phone to stream and it can't do 96k sample rate, you're advised to open the bluetooth menu and turn OFF LDAC. I have a Google Pixel 4a, and it does not support the 96k sample rate, so i did this. I streamed some music from bandcamp, no problem. One final note comparing with the BO3 Pro...if you leave the BO3 Pro on, there's often some faint high-pitched squel that comes through the speakers. It always worried me, no need to damage speakers! But I certainly do not hear that from the DS200 Pro. So, overall, all the things that annoyed me about the BO3 Pro are not manifesting themselves in the DS200 Pro -- which is great!! These are my initials thoughts on the DS200 Pro. Over the next couple weeks I plan on using it quite a bit -- I'm excited to go through my lossless audio files again and enjoy some music! But I also plan on keeping my BO3 Pro in case I need a bluetooth transmitter. And I may update this review with more. Check out the specs for the Lavaudio DS200Pro -- it's a great little device and worth the cost, which is minor for the quality it delivers. Note to the company: not seeing the DS200Pro on your website yet. It would be nice to get it up there with some information and specs.

As Bluetooth has been evolving and improving for years and this unit shows just how far Bluetooth has come and just how well Bluetooth can work. Setting up the unit is simple. Period. Not frustrating trial and error. It works right off the bat and can EASILY be paired with different devices, even some very old ones. But what really and truly sets this little gem apart is sound quality. Having used several generations of Bluetooth over the years to connect a variety of music sources to our church sound system, the sound quality on the exact same songs from the same sources is nothing short of amazing. I did not test this with laboratory instruments, but to the naked ear there just does not seem to be any loss in quality due to Bluetooth compression. This is head and shoulders above anything we have ever used in the past. Simple to set up, unmatched sound quality, and a great price.

best bluetooth dac i’ve ever owned. does its job. good price. makes spotify lossless sound warm and nice through my 80s bose 501s. i hide it inside a stereo cabinet and keep it plugged into my 90s onkyo. always works no annoying beeping or robot voice.

Recently I had to replace my TCL Roku 50" TV after the back lights went out after only 5 years. I purchased a 55" Vizio QLED which doesn't have a audio aux outlet which I have been using to hook to my Yamaha RX - V992 analog surround system what you utilizes a combination of Bose and Mirage speakers. The new TV only had optical audio out and Bluetooth options to hook up to my surround system. I did my research and based on the reviews I came across I decided to take a chance on this Bluetooth receiver. Have tried to use cheaper Bluetooth receivers in the past. They were difficult to pair with my equipment and the sound quality wasn't up to my expectations. This unit was extremely easy to set up and pair with my television and surround system and my sound quality is as good if not better than what I had with my previous television providing theater quality sound. Love my new TV will never go back to a TCL of which I have 2 that are older and still work but are in areas of my home that get very little use.

The unit is well constructed and compact in size. The unit easily paired to iOS devices, both iPhones and iPads. I leave it powered on all the time and enable/disable Bluetooth connections via the portable device. I use two RCA-type phono plugs for the connection to my receiver. The sound quality is good with no perceived noise or static. The unit functions reliably (so far); the only limitation preventing 5 stars is limited range. I have the unit installed in an audio cabinets with glass doors, no other interior walls in between and the BT connection reliability drops at ~15ft or so, so set your expectations of “long range” accordingly. The range is my only issue with an otherwise functional device that does the job of providing a wireless BT connection to other audio devices with 2-ch audio line level inputs.

Excellent product amazingly easy to set-up. As soon as I plugged it in it started to pair and I connnected by iphone in seconds. It come with all the cord option you need. I used the Optical connection and it works and sound great.

Works great with good sound quality. Very happy with my purchase. Plug and play.

The item came well packaged and with everything as described. The unit is powered via a separate wall outlet connected USB power adapter but uses a cylindrical DC connector and not a standard micro USB-C connector. Also included are a few 3ft cables to connect to the RCA analog outputs. Wires are of good quality with gold plated connectors but the cable is not shielded but shouldn't matter for such short runs. The user's manual is well written and helps with the easy install. Unit powers on immediately and goes into pairing mode with the blinking blue-red light. Pairing to my phone was easy and my phone confirmed the LDAC connection. I connected the unit to my Denon receiver and listened using a pair of Beyerdynamics DT990Pro headphones. I then A-B compared it with a direct-wired connection from my phone's headphone output jack to the receiver. Basically, this Bluetooth receiver does not alter or color the sound in any perceivable way. And that's a good thing. Highs, where older Bluetooth audio connections would suffer, were just as good as a wired connection. Bluetooth range was not an issue in my moderately large home, I had solid connectivity in all the scenarios I would encounter. The unit is small and would sit well next to my receiver. All in all, I highly recommend this product for those who seek the highest possible wireless audio quality in a small easy to use device.

Hij doet precies wat hij moet doen.

Tengo o tenía un amplificador Technics de los años noventa. Hace unos meses el técnico le dio un repaso y funcionaba perfectamente. Le conecté el aparato y funcionaba de maravilla. Al día siguiente el amplificador no funcionaba. El técnico dice que el aparato lo ha quemado y que no sabe si podrá encontrar resistencias y transistores de repuesto.

Not knowing what to expect as I take most reviews with a grain of salt, however, to start... This little unit is so easy to setup, with everything you'll need in the box. I setup my Spotify account on my Android S24FE to play in Lossless, then once paired this little gem, it too was set up to play in lossless in the phones bluetooth settings. The sound quality is more than I could have hoped for, and then some. Running it through a Denon DRA 685 stereo receiver into channel A) PSB Image B6's, and a PSB Sunsonic 5i, then into chanbel B) through vintage Paradigm Monitor 9's, no sub. Each channel is clean, crisp and articulate with good separation of instruments. On some tracks, it sounds a bit bright, but on a different track, different performer and different recording, its quite balanced. This unit plays things the way it was recorded, without much if any coloration. If its a bright recording that parlays directly to your speakers. If its a poor recording, that'll be heard too. Its quite impressive, so far! I've only had it up and running in my kit for a week now. As for the bluetooth transmission capabilities, I've went from the basement where this is set up, to the upper floor at the other end of the house. Lots of floors and walks to penetrate but there was no drop out whatsoever. As I've stated, "so far", I am thoroughly impressed! Sure, I could have spent more(and I nearly did) but would I really get more?

Super produit Très bon son , facile à mette en marche Rien à dire

Schnelles Pairing, sehr stabile Verbindung, bis jetzt keine Aussetzer und Knackser, gute Wualität.
