Review: Ideal zum Ansteuern einer hochwertigen Stereoanlage. Kann nur empfangen aber das im aktuellen 5.3. Standard. Ausgabe analog mit offensichtlich sehr gutem eingebautem Dac oder als optisches spdif Signal. Gut verarbeitet und kompakt. Verbindung klappt sehr gut. Stromanschluss 5V, das lässt auch Upgrades zu wenn man das möchte
Review: I've now had the Audioengine B2 for a couple of months, well past the 50 hour "break-in" time, and I can say that it is without reservation the best $189 gadget I've bought in a long time. I had been using a Motorola DC800, which I bought several years ago on the recommendation of David Pogue, when he was still with the NYTimes. There's no comparison between the performance of the two devices--the Audioengine is in a different audio cosmos, mostly, I'm sure, because of the superior quality of the digital to analog conversion chips--cheap vs. not-so-cheap. The quality and clarity of the sound produced by the Audioengine is, to my 70+ year-old ears--dramatic. I have some hearing loss, and the difference the Audioengine makes for me is the difference between being able to understand newscasters voices and missing 25 to 35 percent of what's being said. As for music, the results are excellent. The set-up for me was effortless. I'd been using the other gateway for years, and the Audioengine, if anything, was even easier to pair. It's working flawlessly with 2 iMacs, 2 iPhone 5's and 2 iPads, for a 6 device maximum, perfect for us. You just have to remember which device is connected to the music receiver because, like all Bluetooth devices, it only connects with one source at a time. If you forget that your computer is connected, you will not be able to pair another device with the device until your disconnect it form the one it's currently paired with. To solve this, I usually just leave it connected to my iMac and access music through iTunes on the computer via the Remote app on the phones and iPads. It works like a charm. Oh, about the range--my old Motorola DC 800 can maintain a connection up to about 35 feet or so then it drops out. Also, whenever we turned on our microwave when using the older gateway, it would stop working until the microwave went off, then it would sometimes continue playing and sometimes just disconnect. With the Audioengine, that has not been a problem. The manufacturer claims that the device's range is 100 feet. That seems accurate to me, plus the Audioengine seems oblivious to our microwave. Also, as a technical detail, I have it connected to a Pioneer Elite SC-55 Receiver with three separate music zones. To connect it to multi-zone devices, you'll usually have to connect BOTH the digital AND analog outputs to get sound in multi-zone configurations. Most digital receivers cannot broadcast digital signals to other than the main speakers. At least, that's the way the last two Pioneer receivers I've used have been configured. Bottom line: simple set-up, superior audio performance, great range...I give it 5 stars plus. TWO WEEKS LATER; One more little glitch which has come up a couple of times. While switching between devices, or sometimes after a power grid failure, the device shuts down its analogue output and only outputs through the digital output. This affects my Pioneer receiver's multi-zone output, which only accommodates analogue signals. The problem is solved by rebooting the bluetooth device--simply unplug it, wait a few seconds, then plug it back in. Problem solved. A minor inconvenience, but I thought I'd mention it. And one more thing--the power light on the device is very bright. If you have it in a bedroom, you'll have to cover it because it illuminates the whole room like a powerful night light. Also, I edited the original review after I discovered that the popping chattering problem I was having can be solved by keeping the device as far away as possible from the power supply on my receiver. Just moving it to another shelf in the cabinet solved this problem. Have had the device for several months now and still think it's worth 5 stars.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what's the difference between this device and other cheaper devices on amazon. there is a lot of price difference.**
A: I am going to throw my two cents worth in, although the others have already answered this question very well.  The main differences between the B1 and cheaper devices are range and sound quality.  The B1 has far better range, even for devices which do not produce a strong emitting signal.  Also, the sound quality is much much better.  The reason I purchased the B1 is because I have a high end stereo and the cheaper bluetooth receiver I had produced a noticeably poorer sound.  I mainly use this with a Sony high definition (HD) music player (using FLAC lossless files) or sometimes with an iPod Touch (using 320 kbs MP3 files).  The FLAC files especially would point out the flaws of the cheaper Bluetooth receiver, whereas the clarity of the music using the B1 is excellent.

**Q: Can i connect my a+5 and dac1 to this so all devices benefit from wireless transmissions and better sound?**
A: Yes.  The B1 comes with an onboard DAC as part of the package.  I bypass the internal DAC through a Kimber Toslink cable, in favor of my musical fidelity v90 DAC.  Whether you use your DAC, the B1's, the blue tooth receiver will give you access to all of your music stored in the cloud or or locally on your smartphone or other device.

**Q: Can I connect 2 of these 2 different stereos in my home, and choose which one to listen to at the moment?  How do they appear when pairing ?**
A: Yes, I use 3 of them, two in two different rooms and one in the car.  They each get a unique Bluetooth GUID, and the way you switch depends on which phone you are using.  On iOS/Apple when a Bluetooth audio out is available, you go to settings/Bluetooth and connect to the receiver you want to play to.  They will all be listed as "audioengine B1", but there will be two of them there.  One for each room.

**Q: Does anyone know how to turn off the B1 or stop the blinking light when the B1 isn't in use? It's been blinking for a couple hours now.**
A: No way to turn it off. But there are several way to solve this issue1. In my case, I plug it in the switched outlet of my Marantz SR7002, so whenever I turn on my receiver, it will be on also.2. You could use a small piece of black electrical tape to cover the light portBut why are you doing this? It bothers you while watching movie??? Then place it inside the media center. Another the thing, when the light blinks, meaning it's not connected/paired to any device, which is good. Why you want to turn it off?? It doesn't comsume much of electricity though.Your wireless router plus the DSL modem consume even more energy compared to this tiny Bluetooth device.You spend 200 bucks on this audiophile quality Bluetooth but worry about it continue running??? Then you return it and buy those 20 dollar cheap quality one on eBay so you could switch it off manually

*by G***8 on 5 May 2020*

Having experienced much difficulty over the years with bluetooth, I can say all is finally solved with the Audioengine B1. Set up is reassuringly simple and painless. Bluetooth connection is highly stable - no stutters, gurgles, drop-outs. Sound quality was a particular priority for me, and I can say that the onboard DAC performs very decently, feeding a satisfyingly well-balanced and detailed sound into my 1980s Kenwood stereo receiver. Presentation is warm and engaging - very listenable for general streaming, movies, Youtube etc. Sound stage is a little flat, and HF and LF extremes are rounded off, but only compared with much more expensive units. For critical listening, I send B1's optical out into a Chord Hugo 2 and Jungson JA-88D amplifier. Here the results are amazing. Indeed, I have trouble telling the difference with hi-res files played over a wired connection. If you have a really good external DAC, I think you will be pleasantly surprised. B1 is an unassuming looking little unit but it is well built. I'm loving it.
