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?

If you are planning to go iPhone to Bluetooth Receiver (part of amp or separate device connected to the amp), you may want to consider the Questyle QCC Dongle Pro ($77.00 on AMZN cyber Monday). It gives the earlier than 17 iPhones LDAC capability. I found that it really improves the sound to my LDAC capable wireless headphones and earbuds.

Good point, the more complex gives you a remote (freeing your phone).

If it's available in your area, I would suggest Starlink for your cottage. It would also make a great backup if your ISP goes down at your primary home.

@ecpninja do you already have the amp?  is your phone an iPhone?  I am asking because if you do not have an amp already you might consider an amp that supports LDAC streaming.  Android phones support LDAC streaming and as @oldmancraig has stated, there is a way to get an iPhone to support LDAC,  If you already have an amp, then you need a DAC that will support LDAC.  You could look at a Gustard DAC, there are many on Amazon.in various price ranges.  I am amazed by the sound quality of my Android phone streaming LDAC to my Gustard X26 pro, even with YouTube.  BTW, if you use the Brave Browser to stream YouTube there are no ads.
