Auris Blume HD Long Range Bluetooth Music Receiver - Hi-Fi Upgrade

Our review of the Auris Blume HD finds it is a focused solution for anyone who wants to add modern wireless streaming to an existing home stereo without sacrificing sound quality. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a true audiophile DAC and support for high-definition Bluetooth codecs, which lets users stream near-lossless audio from phones or laptops to older amplifiers and receivers with ease. Setup is straightforward and the long-range antenna consistently delivers reliable connections through typical living room walls.

Key Features

• High-definition Bluetooth: Supports Bluetooth 5.3 plus LDAC, aptX HD and aptX Low Latency so compatible devices can stream higher resolution audio than standard SBC offers.
• Audiophile DAC: Built-in 384kHz/32-bit upsampling DAC decodes and converts higher resolution digital files for cleaner analogue output to a home stereo.
• Long range performance: Precision-tuned antenna and custom circuitry extend usable Bluetooth range to over 100 ft for flexible placement away from the source device.
• Digital and analog outputs: Both RCA analogue and optical S/PDIF outputs provide compatibility with vintage amplifiers or modern AV receivers without extra adapters.
• Easy setup: Simple plug-and-play connection lets users pair a phone or tablet and start streaming in seconds, even with older receivers.

Who It's For

The Blume HD is targeted at listeners who already own a quality stereo, AVR or integrated amplifier and want to add modern wireless streaming while keeping the original system in place. Audiophiles who use high-resolution streams or lossless services will appreciate the unit's DAC and support for LDAC and aptX HD.

It is less appropriate for users who need a built-in headphone output, multiroom streaming hub, or an all-in-one wireless speaker. Also, buyers who never use high-bitrate codecs will get fewer tangible benefits versus a basic Bluetooth adapter.
