DAC Characteristics
The B1 Bluetooth Receiver utilizes the ES9018K2M DAC, widely known for its low noise and high fidelity. B1 is essentially an upsampling 32-bit Bluetooth DAC and will pad all bit depths internally to 32-bits, thus achieving a higher signal-to-noise ratio. Due to the ES9018K2M's high signal-to-noise specs, the fact that the digital signal is converted (upsampled) to 32-bits and the added benefit of triple redundancy power source conversion and filtering, the B1 presents impressive low noise and low distortion characteristics with a noticeable improvement over other Bluetooth devices.

Extended Range
Most Bluetooth implementations have very limited range, usually within just one room. But with careful signal management circuitry and antenna tuning, we offer a superior solution that will reach more than one room with no degradation in audio quality.

High quality Bluetooth audio
The B1 features aptX Adaptive and aptX HD coding which is an advanced Bluetooth audio codec that provides much higher-quality sound than previous versions. The B1 is backwards-compatible with all previous Bluetooth implementations as well, so you can wirelessly stream music from any device and still enjoy outstanding sound.

Optical Output
B1 also functions as a wireless audio bridge from your device to your favorite DAC or preamp. Use the internal DAC with RCA analog outputs or connect the optical output into another DAC.

WOW!

It's just as all the online reviews say:
They're a helluva price but the results audiowise are surely worth it!!
There is no comparison with the sound from the little Bluecast bluetooth transceiver thingy I've had (and ≈enjoyed for a year or so) - lots more audio "detail" and a proper full stereo "soundstage".
The lack of an inbuilt battery is a bit of a pain - but worth living with for the huge upgrade in audio fidelity the B1 provides.
Very happy with having purchased it! :-) :-)

Easy Set up for Awesome Sound

I love my AudioEngine B1. Set up was super easy and the sound is is really good. Great to be able to stream quality audio to my existing stereo. No hesitation in recommending this product. Purchasing on-line from PB tech was no problem and delivery was quick. I usually prefer to purchase on-site but this has been a seamless experience.
