Audioengine B1 Bluetooth Music Receiver vs Sequential Prophet 5

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..

Then this is doing what the profit six filter does and it tunes it to semitones. So if we just put the filter on on its own, take the oscillators out ...

I have never heard a wireless signal sound so clean and authoritative in the bottom end without being muddy or losing its musicality. The B1 is extremely quite and I have not detected any background noise at all. Very impressive. As an experiment I decided to hook up the B1 to my Musical Fidelity V90 Dac to see if that made this already great sounding piece better

One of the nicest synth bass sounds, strings and the best arpeggio ever!!!!!! I have an upgraded one with bonus patches. Presets kinda suck but very memorable!

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

I was impressed and looking at it at how much of analog synthesizer standards came out of just this design behind this instrument. It's so well design...
