Office streaming solution?

Currently, in my office, I’m using my iphone to stream via a 8 year old Apple Airport connected, to a DAC, and then to an amp. While this setup has worked reasonably well, the Airport is old and no longer working seamlessly with the latest phone software. E.g. my phone has trouble finding the airport on the network, and it requires multiple restarts of Airport and phone to get them to work together.

I’m looking for a more stable and decent sounding solution.

Options:
- Use Audioengine’s B1 Bluetooth to input to my amp
- Bluesound node
- Other ideas???

Thanks for your suggestions.

ruebent:" I use an Auris bluMe HD bluetooth receiver in my man cave system."

ruebent,

     Does Auris know you're kissing n telling about what goes on in your man cave?

Yes, the Bluesound Node 2i has bluetooth. But it's also 5X times more expensive than the Auris bluMe HD. It's still a good value in a streamer. But in a system that doesn't require high res, like for background music, or casual listening, the $100 Auris bluMe HD might be perfectly sufficient. It works for great for me.

It's a matter of perspective. Depends on who's doing the talking......
