My home receiver does support Bluetooth, but I was unhappy with the experience of connecting the phone this way. I found that I had to turn the volume on the receiver WAY up in order to hear the music at an acceptable volume. I also wasn't thrilled with the overall sound quality. I'm no audiophile - this is just music streaming from Spotify, not lossless FLAC files - but I felt like it should sound better than it did. Enter the iFi Uno. This has proven to be exactly what I needed. In my case, I had to pair it with the "Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter", which you can find here on desertcart for about $38. With these two devices, I'm able to enjoy music from my phone through my home audio system at a high level of quality. Hook the lightening adapter to the phone. Hook the Uno to the USB-A port on the adapter. You're good to go. For bonus functionality, hook a lightening charging cable to the other port in the adapter, and your phone can also recharge while it's playing your music. With the Uno device, you are bypassing the iPhone's onboard DAC in favor of the dedicated one in the UNO. I can definitely hear the difference in quality. You also get the benefit of the Uno's pre-amp, which lets you boost the volume a bit, so that you don't have to go nuts with the home receiver's volume. I'm connecting to the home receiver with the Uno's RCA connections. I am using the Uno's "power matching" feature, which seems to add a slight increase in strength to the signal, but it's very subtle. This feature may be aimed more at headphone users, but that's not what I needed the device for. The onboard equalizer seems to work fine - I can hear the difference in the 3 pre-set sound profiles - but I don't use it. I prefer to use Spotify's equalizer to adjust the sound if necessary. So for about $120 for the two devices, I have a setup now which allows me to get the most out of my streaming music and my home audio system. For me, it's been well worth the cost. The only downside is that this is a wired connection. It lacks the convenience of Bluetooth, but the improvement in sound quality and volume has been well worth the slight inconvenience for me. I hope someone finds this helpful. Review: Great, versatile option - El IFI Uno, la consolita: The iFi Uno was my entry point into better audio quality, and it completely changed how I experience music. I started using it with entry-level studio monitors (Edifier MR4), and even with those, the improvement was immediately noticeable. It gave me a level of clarity and detail I hadn’t experienced before, and it pushed me to keep upgrading my setup. Because of that, I also added a pair of affordable closed-back headphones (Sennheiser HD 569) as a quick and practical upgrade. What I really value is that this DAC makes that transition easy, letting me switch between speakers and headphones depending on how I wanted to listen but keeping the audio quality I want. Now I use it with higher-end studio monitors (Yamaha HS8) for a more open, room-filling sound, and the same DAC also works perfectly for a more direct and personal listening experience with headphones. That versatility has been one of its biggest strengths. One of the main reasons I chose this DAC was its simplicity and compatibility. The USB-C input works perfectly with devices like iPhone and iPad, making it easy to access lossless and high-resolution audio without needing a complicated setup. Even as my system improved, it has remained a clean, reliable, and very flexible part of my setup. ## Features - Unlock your music potential - Bigger, bolder, more detailed sound to enhance your digital entertainment experience. - Immense compatibility - Connect Windows PCs, Apple Macs, and all manner of tablets and smartphones. - Adapt to your preference - Music, Movie, and Game EQ modes let you adjust sound to suit your choice of entertainment. - Connections - 3.5mm headphone output, plus stereo RCA to connect to an amp or powered speakers - To power the device, you will need the USB-A to USB-C cable that comes included.

I noticed mine buzzed only when 3D graphics were being used, and I could change the intensity of the buzzing based on where I pit the DAC on my desk. The Dac itself is great, works well, plenty of power, but the EQ is useless. ## Frequently Bought Together - iFi uno - DAC & Headphone AMP - USB-C Input - Improve Lacklustre Audio - Streaming/Gaming/Music Modes Adjust Sound to Suit You - 32-bit/384kHz/DSD256/MQA - Windows/MAC/Smart Device/Active Speakers - Sennheiser HD 560 S Over-The-Ear Audiophile Headphones - Neutral Frequency Response, E.A.R.
