Remember that Bluetooth is a lossy format -- like MP3. While lots of people are fine with Bluetooth, it does reduce sound quality.
Streaming from phone
I have a great home system with dedicated streamer and dac with Tidal and Roon.
But I want to have a second system at cottage however I don't have eternet at cottage so I use my phone to stream Tidal.
Is there a way to get quality sound using a phone and a Bluetooth streamer to amplifier?

@peter_s is correct, you can set up a wireless network at the cottage without being connected to the internet. You will just need a streamer with Wi-Fi so that your phone can send lossless music to it across the network. |
The iPhone supports "bit perfect digital streaming". You need a USBC to USB-B (the one on the DAC). So, this way the phone acts as the streamer and transmits to the cable directly.
iPhone → Apple USB-C/Lightning to USB Camera Adapter → High-quality USB cable → External DAC I’d start here. If you want you can use the cell phone to do the wifi and a streamer / DAC to receive. Be careful. You may need to use an Apple cable as second party USB cables do not support 24/192.
