Hesitated to purchase as it sounded too good to be true. But I wanted to use my existing audiophile components to play my streaming sources, as I am liquidating all vinyl/ CDs and want to go stream only.
Gave bluMe pro a shot, knowing I could return if not satisfied. Until I turned it on, I was skeptical. But it worked! Sounds very good. 3Days in, playing a lot of albums, they all sound really good. Very pleased w/ purchase.
Auris bluMe device works great with my old Marantz receiver for bluetooth connectivity. Easy to set up. Very pleased with fidelity.
This is my second Auris product. I bought a BluMe HD a little over a year ago and absolutely loved it. I bought a second stereo system and updated it with the Pro. While I was completely satisfied and happy with the HD, the Pro was on sale and I couldn't pass it up. Both of these have greatly enhanced my listening experience! I highly recommend either and, if I get yet a third system, I will add one of these to it. Highly recommend!
Connected the BluMe Pro, powered by an Audiophonics LPSU 25 Linear Regulated 5V 1A power supply, to the RCA Video line input on my NAD S100 Silverline pre-amplifier (other components are the NAD S200 power amplifier and Dynaudio Contour 1.3 Mk 2 loudspeakers)..
Internet radio, BBC Sounds and MIDI music files from my HP Pavilion laptop running Windows 11 sound great. Better in fact than my NAD C445 DAB tuner.
The one downside - the display is not as bright as I'd like and can be quite difficult to read. Doesn't appear to be any way to adjust the brightness, but it's not a dealbreaker, and the hi-res 32 bit sound quality more than compensates for this.
I'll dock one star for the dim display, but otherwise this is a great device.
Important note: ONLY connect the BluMe Pro to 5 V DC power supplies or use the supplied Wall Wart .The BluMe Pro operates on 5 V Direct Current ONLY. NEVER EVER operate it on other voltages or you'll fry the chipset (and the rest of your system).
Out of the box works perfectly. Able to stream Sirius XM radio and other streaming radio stations to my home stereo. Hope it is as reliable as expected.
Just received this from Auris
Easy hookup and sound is great
Through my Analog system , I will order another fior my desktop system.
Easy setup with an older stereo receiver, equally easy Bluetooth setup for phone or laptop.. Surprisingly good sound quality; very much worth the price. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to add streaming audio to an older stereo setup.
Plugged the unit into my stereo, turned it on, connected my phone to the unit, and bingo -- music came out of the speakers. Great design, plug and play, and easy to use.
I bought this after reading many reviews of various Bluetooth audio receivers. I am not disappointed. The Auris bluMe Pro delivers CD quality sound from internet radio and YouTube videos without any loss or unwanted interference. I have this connected to a high end vintage stereo receiver with very good speakers. I would highly recommend the bluMe Pro Bluetooth receiver to anyone.
The ability to connect across many devices has always been a challenge - you guys figured it out!! Purchased two units and have pitched this to my two sons……
This is a great upgrade to my stereo system. Now I can sit on my deck and control my system in the house thru my phone. Changing podcasts, Pandora stations and YouTube videos. Well worth it.
Love the convenience of bluetooth streaming to my main system but my Marantz SACD30n older bluetooth technology was not cutting it for me. I have 32bit-384khz quality .wav files because I want the best quality I can get. This little gem has delivered and exceeded my expectations, I couldn't be happier with my decision to give the bluMe Pro a try. Having the ability to unlock Sony's LDAC bluetooth technology, if you don't already have the ability, makes this device an essential and affordable upgrade to any system if you like to stream via bluetooth.
I absolutely love this product! Easy to install and I can listen to my Grateful Dead soundboard shows on YouTube with the ability to use all the sonic advantages of my home stereo! Very pleased!
Works perfectly. Easy to install, easy to use. Great to have Bluetooth functionality with my component system.
It easily connects to my phone and has plenty of range from my pool deck to the stereo in the garage. I would buy again.
Easy to setup, paired quickly and I was streaming in less than 5 minutes. I don’t feel it does anything to enhance or improve sound quality but that’s up to the system itself connected to..
Have all your music on your phone and have an old stereo receiver? This device works great and lets you stream music from your phone to your old stereo. Sounds great and brings your old stereo back to life!
Took about 2 minutes to plug in and get the Bluetooth paired!
I wish I bought this sooner!!
I was on the fence on purchasing the Blue Me Pro for months. After viewing a you tube video from a buyer I decided to go for it.I've had it for a week now and it was the smoothest Bluetooth connection I ever encountered and the sound is incredible! Right there with a cd i have it connected to a 1972Harmon Kardon twin powered receiver and vintage dcm & B& W bookshelf speakers and the sounds are music to my ears 😊. It won't disappoint. Definitely satisfied Definitely worth the purchase Great Product!
This Bluetooth receiver does exactly what it says it does and does it very well. Quickest and most effortless pairing I have ever experienced. After some adjustment of antenna position I have experienced no dropped signal from anywhere in the ground floor of my home.
The sound quality is very good, as I would expect from an ESS/Sabre DAC.
Suggestions for the next model:
It would be great if there was a way to toggle between Bluetooth and usb/dac modes without having to physically disconnect and reconnect the cable.
It’s very cool that while in Bluetooth mode the display shows the file metadata and sample rate/bit depth … it would be great to have that feature in usb/dac modes as well.
Sounds great, as good as any other system inputs. Pairs easily. I held off on 5 stars because it’s easier to power off by pulling the connector than to use the power button. A quibble, sure, but one must earn the stars, right?
be sure to check all of auris’ products to make sure which one is best suited for your application! they have a nice range of quality products to suit everyones needs from entry level to audiophile. the duo is an incredibly versatile unit with a nice burr brown DAC
