Using bluetooth, you are limited to very low-quality sound.

It's really only intended for voice quality, not music.

There are high-quality music streaming methods and devices, but not using bluetooth.

I recommend that you look into the NAD 446 Digital Media Tuner. Audio Advisor sells it for $399.

I think you will find it will do everything you want and more.

Actually, you can get decent stereo sound via Bluetooth using new protocols such as apt-x. See recent articles by mejias on this site & by Michael lavorgna on Audiostream.com &Tyll Hertsens on InnerFidelity.com.

Yes, thank you both.  I'm looking for exactly those devices that have Apt-X since they should offer the best quality.  Any recommendations?
