1MiiLDAC Bluetooth 5.3 Music Receiver with Audiophile 384 kHz / 32 bit Decoding DAC | aptX HD, Long Range Hi-Fi Bluetooth Audio Receiver for Streaming to Home Stereo, AV Receiver, Amplifier

This arrived today and it was a pleasant surprise to see the packaging for this receiver; it was very nicely designed and there are all the cables you'll need to get it connected to an amp (inc. digital, an RCA, and RCA to 3.5mm jack), plus all the support information you need right there. I have bought similar products in the past and none of them put together packaging of this nature.Okay enough of that, what about the sound quality?The device is easy to set up and use; but there was one thing that caught me out.I purchased this for LDAC connection and on first set up - it did not work! Or at least it appeared like it didn't work. Turn out the device contains one small limitation.LDAC does not work with the optical out port. To get LDAC you need to use the RCA connection.This is not obvious from the information provided; it is implied on a small card that sort of says turn off LDAC if device can't output 96kps and it mentions optical as well. It could be made explicit; however, not going to mark the product down for this because... the sound is wonderful and rich and far better than the nonsense ACC codec that the previous receiver passed off as quality.This is quality.The aptX HD codec works fine with optical and it's sound was very good there as well. Would have been happy to live with that so of you buy this to play music at that level it's still very decent device.Is it worth the money?Yeah, I'd recommend this to anyone.It's a well put together device that performs lovely.

Smart simple well made and compact, the DS200Pro paired easily to my iPhone XR and is ready to go each time you switch on - no faffing around checking connections. I used the phono connectors to connect the unit to my amp (Denon PMA-520AE) which doesn't have an optical interface. The streamed sound quality from Spotify through the speakers (Q Acoustic 3050i Floor standing) is significantly better than a previous Bluetooth receiver we had, in fact it is now getting closer to the vinyl sound from the record deck (Garrard 301).I use a number of test tracks to test for specific audio nuances and one of these is "Private Investigations - Remastered 2022" by Dire Straits. At 4m 47s there is a cat meowing followed by some breaking glass at 5m 51s - the previous device did not decode this, however the DS200Pro delivers it in all it's glory.Also noted is the clarity of the piano playing during the guitar solo in "The Bluest Blues" by Alvin Lee and also in Ben Woods fantastic Acoustic guitar cover of "You Got Another Thing Coming" originally by Judas Priest.And then finally the array of instruments are decoded in superb clarity on "Let A Smile Be Your Umbrella" by Bing Crosby.The DS200Pro is a great buy, well worth the money and thoroughly recommended.

Reasonable price, impressive quality and sound. Very happy. Doesn't come with a plug but comes with all the other cables required

My Sonos Connect died recently. I was using it to play digital music through the speakers on my old stereo unit. The new version of the Sonos Connect gets not-so-great reviews, and I didn't really want to be on the Sonos bandwagon any longer. So I started looking for Bluetooth alternatives to use with the old stereo, along with my Bluetooth LG TV soundbar and JBL portable Bluetooth speaker instead of my Sonos speakers. The reviews for the 1Mii LDAC were so good that I took the plunge and bought one.I have been really pleased with the results. The 1Mii LDAC sounds fantastic when playing my old CDs which have been converted to ALAC format and imported into the Apple Music app on my iPad. The iPad lets me select any of the three locations to play, so it's just like a Sonos system except that you can't play all three locations all together at the same time, which was no big loss for me.I'm using the supplied RCA leads plugged to the Aux In of my old stereo system, and it works like a charm. I cannot tell the difference between playing an actual CD on the system or playing an ALAC copy via the iPad and the 1Mii LDAC. I'm very pleased with it - it's a no-fuss high-quality solution for digital to analogue conversion. I have since sold off my Sonos speakers which more than paid for the purchase of the 1Mii LDAC, so I'm very happy with my decision to change to a Bluetooth based system.

After much research finally decided on this unit mainly due to the internal components used. I received the unit with the plastic antenna and it seems well built and comes well packaged but you will need your own power adapter. Pairs with either iOS or Android easily and there are no issues with dropouts using standard settings. Sound quality is excellent, nice open soundstage and good detail using Amazon HD as a source, would highly recommend this dac for its build and sound quality.If you are using iOS you will only be using the acc codec as iOS doesn’t support aptx hd or ldac whereas android does so can potentially achieve a higher connection rate….Be aware that ldac while widely touted by Sony as the holy grail comes with its own issues, it’s adaptive so will choose a bit rate between of 330, 660 or 990 depending on connection quality, most android phones select 660 as default if Bluetooth connection is stable enough. To obtain the highest 990 you will need to go into settings and enable developer options, from within there you are able to force the default bitrate for ldac and set it to 990, have done this but the phone and unit will need to remain very close otherwise you will get dropouts to the signal due to the high data rates pushing Bluetooth to it’s limits…..I can not really hear a difference between 660 and 990 so suggest that or aptx hd as bitrate for this codec is 576kbs and again there appears to be no noticeable difference in sound quality…..All in all very happy so with this purchase.
