Questions & answers about theB1 Bluetooth Music Receiver
-
The B1's optical out is designed to pass the digital signal to another DAC; using the optical output wouldn't utilize the B1's DAC and would simply send the received signal out without padding the bit-depth. The RCA outputs of the B1 would utilize the built-in DAC, so the output would be padded to a 48kHz sample rate.
-
If it's on and solid - This means the B1 is powered on, and currently connected to a Bluetooth enabled device.
If it's on and blinking - This means the B1 is powered on, but not currently connected to a device
If it's off (and plugged into power) - This means the B1 is powered off (standby) and not connected to a device. The B1 is however still visible to Bluetooth enabled devices in this state. So simply connect to the B1 using your device, and it will automatically wake up.
-
You can absolutely still use the B1, and it will sound great. aptX® is a high quality Bluetooth audio codec that works really well. With that said, in addition to mandatory support for SBC, Bluetooth also includes optional support for many other codecs, like MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and AAC, all of which have their own advantages, and some of which sound very close to aptX®.
-
Yes, any audio product with a standard analog audio input can connect to B1 with the included RCAs. B1 also includes a digital output so you also can connect via optical (TOSLINK).
-
B1 automatically powers-down and mutes the output after about 10 minutes. The BT input, however, is still active so you can just pair to it again without pressing the front panel button. B1 will remain on if a device is paired with it and turned on though.
