Audioengine B1 Bluetooth Music Receiver vs Dirtywave M8

On the flip side, I don't want to inadvertently downgrade to a worse option if the Marantz is already decent for audio. Also, I still need to deal with my TV audio..

Now this has that, where you can set up each operator to have a different waveform and you've got 11 different algorithms to mess with lots of variati...

In fact, the whole point in supporting both the HD and the LL codecs is that there are different definitions of “the best” based on the application space. One usage model might value audio quality as the most important characteristic, but another might value low latency as the most important. If I’ve understood the B1’s protocol choice algorithm correctly, it’s an unfortunate design decision. All the modern high-quality transmitters which support AptX protocols whichI have looked at support both HD and LL, which means that the B1 can NEVER function as a low latency receiver

design wise, it could have done with a good few more iterations. lack of screen, not enough hands on parameter controls, the play rec n shift buttons are tiny little dots. the grid is amazing for sequencing n playing but they were a bit naive / inexperienced with regards to the top section imo.
