B3 Professional XLR Bluetooth v5.1 Music Receiver, LDAC & aptX HD Streamer, Built-in ESS DAC, Analog RCA, Digital Optical and COAXIAL Outputs, for Audio Mixer, DJ Speakers & PA System

I have tried several Bluetooth receivers with my vintage audio receivers over the last several years, ranging from 25-30 bucks up to about 150 and this Blafili B3 sounds noticeably better than all the others (especially the cheaper ones). I could hear an improvement almost immediately and it seemed to be a noticeable difference on any type of music I played. Don’t know the best way to describe it other than it just having a more “clean” and natural hardwired sound. No distortion at all in the low or high frequencies, that I could detect. Unit is nice looking, pairs easily and I like how the display tells you exactly what codec, sampling rate, etc, is being used. Seems to be built of very good quality as well. Very pleased with this unit and also love the fact it doesn’t beep every time it connects or disconnects. If you are looking for a high quality BT receiver that will work perfectly with a nice vintage amp or stereo receiver, don’t hesitate on this one! Highly recommended!

The media could not be loaded. I came across this product when searching for a Bluetooth 5.0 receiver that has stereo balanced out. The only choices outside of this price came to be a Denon Professional unit that is very dated and full of complaints, a couple of small mono XLR male only units that are rechargeable, and extremely high cost "audiophile" geared devices. The fact is, this hits all the marks! It features unbalanced L+R RCA, coax, Toslink, and balanced L+R XLR outputs.The build quality is excellent and simple. The case is a satin black alloy with a composite front and rear panel. The XLR pins and antenna connector are gold plated. The oled screen is simple yet functional. I like that it is crisp, but not overly bright. It easily fits in with your gear while not being obtrusive. There is only one button on the entire unit, and it serves as a power button, un-pair device, and factory reset.NOTE: This receiver automatically powers on if USB voltage is supplied, thus allowing you to connect it to your receiver's switched outlet or your main power supply.Upon disassembly, I was delighted to see that this does indeed contain the ESS 9018K2M chip and the Qualcomm QCC5125! Too many false advertisements to not check nowadays. All solder joints look good with no slop.The included USB and Toslink cable are 3ft. and feel of good quality.The sound through this device is strong and clear with no perceived distortion. It is very quick to connect with no dropouts while in use.My final take on this is that is a no-brainer! A good DAC should not "color" sound as it is completely digital. Some may call me incorrect. Fine! Go sit at home and try to find the difference between your $1k unit and this one while sipping brandy by yourself. The rest should take advantage of this excellently built and priced device and keep all of the extra money in your pocket!Blafili B3 for the win!

I originally bought the blafili B3 because I was looking for Bluetooth 5.1 with long range capability for a permanent install I was doing at a school. I looked at all the traditional brands but no one had a 5.1 Bluetooth with XLR connections that would work in my application. The unit was mounted in a theater AV rack in a control booth approximately 75 to 80 feet from the stage. I was able to Connect to the unit from the stage and have solid uninterrupted connection from anywhere within the theater. To test how far I could go without losing the signal I walked out of the theater onto the play yard and had a solid signal for about another 20 to 25 feet making the overall range just about 100 feet Plus being inside of a metal middle Atlantic rack and through a concrete wall. Needless to say I'm very happy with the range, stability, and of the unit. I was also very happy with the audio quality it was very clean, clear with no artifacts.I was so happy with it I replaced their Denon DN-300Z in their gym with another blafili B3 because the Denon's range was very limited and anytime you wanted to switch devices you had to hit the selection button which you do not have to do on the blafili B3. With the blafili B3 it will automatically show up in your Bluetooth List of devices available for pairing. This is great because you can just walk into the room if you've paired to the device in the past and connect. The single button on the front of the device is just to power on the device and to forget devices if you press and hold the button. The unit canned also remember up to 8 different Bluetooth connections.Another nice feature is that the name of the unit can be customized this was important in this situation because I have two units in the same building with overlapping signals you could see on your device. so I was able to change one name to "Theater Bluetooth" and the other to "Gym Bluetooth". Michael from blafili technical Support provided me with the program and guided me through the process. It was not difficult the only thing that slowed me up is it requires a Windows machine and I'm a Mac person. Once I got over that hurdle it was a smooth process and MICHAEL even checked back with me to make sure I was able to successfully change the name. They even offered to send me one with the customized name if I had any difficulty changing it my self.The only complaint I would have would be the display is very small but for me I considered it a minor.I've now purchased three of these units and they've all worked as expected and you can't beat the price for what you get in terms of technology.I would definitely recommend this product and the tech-support is great as well.

This little Bluetooth receiver is fantastic! It supports all the major codecs, including LDAC, which is a huge plus. The setup is incredibly easy— it auto-connects to the transmitter and automatically detects changes in codec, making the whole experience seamless. I’ve been using it for audio testing, and it performs really well. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable and hassle-free Bluetooth receiver.
