  • Incredible Buetooth DAC and Receiver

    This is an incredible piece of audio equipment that does everything it claims and at a fraction of the price of anything else in this category. I think many people will look at this and think its just a Bluetooth Audio Receiver - which it is, but it's so much more! The BluDento BLT-HD not only receives the BT audio signal, but it also has a built in audiophile DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter) that it decodes and decompresses the music steam on the device itself before sending it to where ever you're playing it back. In the car it really produces a beautiful rich warm sound. It enhances the low bass frequencies without over extending and making them boomy and it cleans up all the mid and high frequency treble with over extending them either, taking all the harshness out. I also tested on my home B&O sound system directly and through a Sonos input and the audio there was also clean, rich and warm, in spite of the limitations of Bluetooth Audio. Being satisfied, I took it out to the car where is now installed under the passenger seat. I ran the USB power cable and the 3.5mm aux cable down the inside groove of the center console and plugged it all in nice and neat. Now Ive got a cable free cockpit, the phone connects to the DAC instantly (even before the stereo powers up) and the sound coming from the phone to the stereo is just lovely; far richer and cleaner than with aux cable direct - it really does produce very pleasing detailed sound. Yes, it's still Bluetooth but much better than bluetooth without the DAC. I cant recommend this BT DAC enough. It really does go head to head with AudioEngine B1 which is 2.5 times the price. And this version (the BlueDento BLT - HD) is Bluetooth 5.0 with aptx HD which gives you all kinds of future proofing. I was also looking at the BlueDento BLT-2 and almost bought it because it was roughly $20 less and my phone is only BT 4.2, but I figured I'll upgrade my phone before a buy another Bluetooth DAC so for $20 I might as well take the upgraded DAC and be ready for my next phone. If this thing sounds this good receiving an aptx signal, the aptxHD in the next phone will sound phenomenal and this device is ready for it! Go for it you wont regret it.

  • Excellent audiophile bluetooth receiver.

    This is my first Bluetooth receiver for home use.I didn't think that you could get such good quality sound via BT. I played a flac file ripped from my CD which was sent to the bluedento hd via galaxy s8 (which does BT 5.0).Then I played the original CD. Switching between the two ,the CD sounded a almost identical to the BT however the CD source was louder than my phone bt output at maximum - which makes exact comparison difficult.My system is a rega cd player ,primaluna valve amp and quad speakers. If the Bluedento was poor quality my system would have shown it. I am extremely happy with this product and highly recommend it. Easy pairing with phone .Will pair with up to 8 sources.Worked well with Apple iPhone 6 also . Well done and thanks .

  • A good buy

    This little audio Bluetooth device is just what I needed to bring my vintage Marantz stereo back into my life. Hook this up to any vintage stereo and listen to music from your phone or any Bluetooth enabled device. Great sound easy to hook up ( just plug it into your stereos input (line in) you will need to drag out your old usb power wall plug /socket (I used my old iPhone wall plug) and you are all set. The quality is excellent. Crystal clear music. It did take a while to arrive from China but well worth the wait!

  • Excellent device!

    Extremely happy with the purchase of this Bludento blt-hd. Very simple to install and connecting to it is a snap. The most impressive thing however is the sound quality, very good for a Bluetooth connection between my smartphone and hi-fi system. If you own a decent home audio system I would highly recommend getting one for yourself!

  • Upgrade to the HD from the 2. It's worth it!

    I replaced the BLT-2 with this BLT-HD. While they are equally easy to set up and use the HD sound quality is worth the very slightly higher price. It seems very well made and works great. Considering where it ships from it arrives pretty quickly too - well packed and excellent tracking info.

  • Big improvement from BT4.2

    I have used bt4.2, I have replaced with this Aptx-HD, which is version 5. At the beginning of listening after change, it sounded dry. However, after 10 hours of listening, I could feel the sound changing, which is good sign of breaking in. Now my bludento Aptx-HD is giving much more difined bass, warmer vocal and silky top frequency. It also gives much better sound balance and wider sound stage compared to the previous version of bluetooth. I could feel big improvement and difference from bt4.2. I am using it with vintage tube amplifier or modern hybrid amplifier. This bludento Aptx-HD provides real world of CD sound and joyful music listening time of PC-fi. I am very happy with this aptxhd unit. I strongly recommend it to whom looking for real upgrade of bluetooth audio sound quality.

  • Perfect addition for a vintage stereo system!

    I love this device! I was looking for a device to stream music from wi-fi sources to my vintage 2.1 stereo system and seemed to be stuck between really cheap devices ( $50) which I expected would not have a decent DAC, and expensive audiophile devices ($500 to much more) that seemed like serious overkill. This product hit the mark...excellent range, easy connection to a vintage reciever, and a DAC that appears to have bit of quality engineering. I was torn between this and the Audioengine B1, which appears to be the gold standard for what I was seeking, but twice the price. Luckily, there was a video posted on Youtube comparing the two just before I placed my order, and the BluDento did very well, so I went with it. It took a month to arrive, but other than that I'm thrilled with it. I've been able to do head-to-head comparisons between music streamed over this unit and played from both a CD and vinyl LP, and this thing really holds up. The clarity and dynamics seem equivalent to my ears. It's a bit more open and airy, a bit less warm and rich, but not in a negative way. Overall, a great little device at a nice price!

  • Really nice.

    Great little device. I wish you could deactivate the LED on the front. It flashes continuously when not in use. An stays on when connected. Or they should move it to the back of the box. I also wish it had a pin number on the Bluetooth to keep unwanted people from connecting. This may be an issue in an apartment building or dorm, but not in my home.

  • Opt/Coax dissimilar in sonic character, yet useable

    Nice AptX HD receiver for the price. For the test: I am listening to YT-quality audio streaming in the same room from a Samsung Tab S5e, Dobly Atmos selected on "Voice" and system Equalizer set "Normal". In Android's Developer Options I verified AptX 24bit/48kHz with AVRCP 1.6. The tablet is running on a full charge with no optimization. System "Media" volume set at max throughout. For running the TosLink and SPDIF out, the DAC I plug into is a Topping D30 > Topping A30 (Burson V5i) > Headphones, or, 2.1 stereo: 6N3-type Volume controller > Dayton Audio SA100 > Mackie MR524. My tweeters are set at 0dB and bass drivers at -2dB, sub level set very low so its a balance. Small room. Having A/B/Y'd the tablet's USB-C port direct against the BT 5.0 streamed Coax and Optical into the D30, as well as bypassing the D30 altogether via the BLT-HD RCA outs > FiiO Q1 Line In, here are my observations: D30 USB: Benchmark. Direct, the dithering is not as noticeable as when streaming aptX HD. To effect this option with the Tab S5e I use a USB-C to USB 2.0 Female adapter. I've tried with a HDMI/USB/USB-C hub, but the micro-controller takes priority and causes the audio to "stutter". In comparison to the BLT-HD RCA out, I do not notice a difference in dynamics or noise over phones, only a slightly wider stereo spread. Coax: Most notable THD among the three. More pronounced Mids and Highs in comparison to Optical, therefore slightly more fatiguing for prolonged headphone listening. Coax THD is not even perceivable over my speakers or HD 380 Pro 54 Ohm. Any RCA cable will work for Digital Coax runs. Opt: Very low THD, Mids slightly attenuated, Highs further attenuated and slope before reaching end of the sonic range. Less fatiguing in comparison to the the USB and Coax on headphones. Dithering more noticeable than USB and Coax as well, especially in the symbols. Yet on headphones through the Topping A30 is quite good, minimal fatigue due to the slight high end roll off. Aside from the slight attenuation in the higher band, this option boasts the finest detail throughout the band. BLT-HD RCA: Impressive DAC. Running an older FiiO Q1 off this seems to be just as good, if not better than the D30/A30 (Burson V5i) over my DT77 Pro 80 Ohm. The EQ is well balanced with a slight dip in high-mids, no "Bass" or "Gain" selected. What is nice about this option is I can select between three EQ "curves" while streaming via aptX HD: BluDentro DAC/FiiO Opamp for a slight dip in the high-mids and BluDentro digital out/Topping DAC for flat, or rolled highs; they all sound great. Final thoughts: Initially I had only intended to make use of the digital outputs, however, I later realized the onboard DAC with the FiiO Q1 to be a worthy contender to the Topping D30/A30 stack. The onboard DAC, on paper, looks less clean than the D30, however, this is not the case, the PCM5102A can handle up to 32 bit whereas the D30's can only handle 24. Also, there is a difference between the Coax and Optical digital out in terms of their sonic characteristics, yet switching between the two outputs is similar to having a preset "filter toggle" in a sense. With the D30, I can flip between the two on the fly, and appreciate what both have to offer. For streaming YT audio, the BluDentro BLT-HD gives the streaming a Hi-Def feel and texture to the extent that you don't perceive that you are listening to YT quality audio. Overall I recommend this unit to anyone looking for an aptX HD solution, whether as a stand-alone or intergraded component. Cons: No ON/OFF switch.

  • GREAT DEAL

    set up is extremely esay, just connect it, that's all. I love the fact that it delivers the signal at the same time via toslink, coaxial and RCA which is particularly good for listening while you record. the structure is in aluminum, pretty nice! the optic and RCA cables it brings don't seem so good so I'm using better ones. Sound quality is astonishing, the built in DAC gives a final superior result in music. I'm using it to send signal via bluetooth from my cellphoneto the BluDento and then to the toslink input in my MiniDisc unit, the quality is really really good. I JUST LOVE IT.
