Hi. I have Kali Audio IN-UNF Ultra-Nearfield studio monitor system, and I'd like to play music via Bluetooth from my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and iPhone SE, using services like Spotify, YouTube, and downloaded mp3s.
I'm considering the following:
US$39.00 Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter for Bluetooth Streaming
US$9.99 UGREEN Aux to Bluetooth 5.3 Adapter
US$23.99 esinkin Wireless Audio Receiver
US$79.99 Emotiva BTR-1 Virtual Copper Bluetooth System
US$119.00 Kali Audio MV-BT Professional Bluetooth Input Module
I am not an audiophile and will primarily be playing compressed mp3 files, so I care more about stability and reliability than the highest-quality sound. Thank you!

Hi I have the WF-1000xm5 headphones and a Windows 10 PC, I don't have BT built in so require a usb BT dongle is there a recommended one for use with the XM5s?
TLDR quicker fix 2025:
You can take a look at creative labs for their BT-W6 BT dongle see here, which covers majority of the aptx family of BT codecs including aptx adaptive (low latency and high) and aptx lossless, but it does not support LDAC. For LDAC you can see below how I fixed it with Maxuni BT + alternative A2DP driver.
Quicker fix in this post here but you can search for a basic BT dongle that works with BT keyboards/mice/headphones etc (not a pure USB sound card) like the Maxuni USB BT 5.3 dongle here
and then get a software called Alternative A2DP Driver, you can run the trial and test if it works with LDAC or whatever BT codec you want with your BT dongle and if it does purchase that A2DP app since you get a discount before the trial runs out.
Old post and info below:
I wish to try LDAC codec via Alternative A2DP Driver for the PC to play back my Flac music collection also so the BT dongle needs to be good and capable of high quality resolution sound playback, not sure if there are better brands or BT dongles though.
Appears no such Bluetooth Adapter with LDAC supports exist for the PC or Laptop or Windows at least in 2023, see here.
There is some discussion of work around's here while using the FiiO BTA30 with an optical input, so your PC/laptop needs a optical sound output either inbuilt or via a soundcard/dongle/dac I guess.
Upon further reading the FiiO BTA30PRO is better supported ie USB to PC and more.
Also mentioned here the Fiio M6 which I believe is a music player can act as a usb dac and transmit LDAC is another possible solution for some users.
Its a confusing situation.......I will read about the FiiO BTA30/Pro
