bluMe HD

This is a must-buy! The sound quality compared to the days when I plugged my sky box / phone / tablet into my hifi via a cable is like night and day. Both TV and Spotify are vastly improved. Also, the range is tremendous. We walk all around the house without any bluetooth dropout. Highly recommended.

Fantastic sound quality at low and high volumes . Great build quality and plug and play ease with absolutely no interferance , add to that all the wire connections that you need . Would strongly recommend . Quality at the right price.

A brilliant and convenient solution to a really annoying problem of awkward Bluetooth and poor quality sound. We have a great music player, we can control it from anywhere in our home and it provides music to five pairs of speakers around our home; from lots of sources. But Bluetooth connectivity (pre version 5.0) for Deezer, Spotify and such, always had to be room by room and has always been awkward in use. The music might be playing in two or three rooms, but walk from one to another with the phone in your hand and you'd loose the signal. So we'd end up not bothering. Not any more. We have the Auris positioned midway in the house. We have Bluetooth 5.0 phones, that connect even before we are through the front door. It will pair with up to 8 devices, so we even keep a tablet connected for anyone to use (if that day ever comes again when we can have visitors in our home!) and for general "mood" playlists; as well as our computers and laptops.... It even works well with my Fitbit watch!). If someone else is playing music you can't accidentally knock them off. But if they stop, you can play instantly from your own phone or other Bluetooth player. The sound quality is a big improvement over our previous devices. The Auris is small and neat and comes with a practical array of useful cables. It's designed to sit on top of a desk, or your hifi unit, but as you can see from the photos, I wall mounted it in our hallway and buried the cables in the cavity wall; (It fastens by Velcro to the lid of a cold-cream pot, screwed onto the wall to conceal the cable hole). I'm also waiting for a relay from Amazon so that it will switch on and off automatically with the music player. At the moment, although we have a switch, we leave it on permanently. Auris tell me that's OK. IMPORTANT NOTE: The power supply. The unit needs a 5 volt power supply, like the one we use with mobile phones. It is supplied with one, but it's designed for an American power socket, not a UK, Irish or other European type. This wasn't a problem for me, as I wired the unit into a switched circuit in a pattress (box) mounted in the cavity wall (all to code). But you may need to find a separate supply. I didn't mark Auris down for this, because it's a minor issue compared to the improvement in sound quality and convenience that we are now getting.

If you want to connect your phone to your old skool amp techniques I’m play some phat jungle at high-quality this is the gadget you need. well worth the money.🫡🔊🔊🔊

Needed to connect to 'old' amp. This does the trick wonderfully - simple to set-up, connected first time, quality seems sufficient for my needs - when would-up loud on an ageing system, no distortion can be heard, success.

Works brilliantly.

Unfortunately I had to return this item as it didn’t do the job for which it was intended. However when connected to another source it worked well. Simple to set up and no doubt will be very useful for most people but it sadly didn’t do what I needed it for.

I was after a decent Bluetooth adapter so I could stream music from my iPhone and iPad to my old school real HiFi. I have been using an Alexa Flex for past few years and it worked ok but sound quality was not very good. I did a google and YouTube search and this adapter kept coming up as a good buy and it was on sale as it was Black Friday. Connected USB cable to back of my Xbox and the Bluetooth adapter to my Cambridge Audio amp via some high quality RCA cables I had and paired it to my phone. Sat writing this review loving the sound quality and I’m very pleased with my purchase.

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.
