Hi, I'm after some advice please. Have a new 'den' in our garden into which I've added a projector setup and for sound, an old Denon amp and Dali Zensor Pico speakers, both of which I expect I will upgrade shortly. Meantime though I need to connect our XBox via optical to get sound and also a Bluetooth receiver. I could go for a cheap £30 DAC but general prefer to get something decent that will satisfy for longer. With this in mind I've been looking for a good single unit that is both a good DAC and Bluetooth receiver, ideally supporting APTx HD. I've come down to either separate units in the form of the Topping E30 and ifi Zen Blue, or I splash out quite a bit more money and get something like the Cambridge Audio DAC Magic 200M or Bluesound Node. In regard to the last of these, I use Tidal quite a bit so would make use of the streaming capabilities of the Node but this isn't a real need - I could just as easily stream to my phone and then on via bluetooth.
Any recommendations of other devices that I may have missed? Is it worth shelling out the extra for the Node ?
thanks
Nick
