Abstract: And Apple is certainly right to improve its Bluetooth functionality, because if there's been one notable techie revolution this year, it's been Bluetooth's glorious rebirth after nearly 20 years of more-or-less uselessness. In its latest incarnation, it's...

Well-built, superb sound quality, perfect connectivity for the task
Kind of expensive, semi-awkward port layout
We think that if you care about music, and would consider Bluetooth as a viable method of delivery (some just won't) then the rBlink will be something worth considering. We've loved the convenience of it, and the audio quality is simply fantastic to...
Compact and well-made, Easy to use, Sounds good for Bluetooth
Still a slight sonic compromise to cables, A bit pricey, Untidy with cables connected
The problem for us is the price. It may be a neat and well-made little unit, but £160 is pushing it a bit, especially when you consider that it's still a sonic compromise compared with a cheap cable. Still, if you're the owner of one or two aptX source...

The Arcan rBlink does what it says on the tin. It's a superior Bluetooth DAC with no other purpose in life. But this dedication rewards in spades, with a fulsome performance that convincingly heralds the mobile as a credible audio source. As such, we th...
Easy to set-up, high-quality audio conversion, enables you to use your current Hi-Fi system wirelessly

The Arcam rBlink currently fills a gap in the market, that of connecting a wireless device (such as an iPhone or iPad) to your current home speaker system. At £160 it's not a cheap option, given it's just a wireless Bluetooth system with a Digital to Audi...
Makes Bluetooth audio sound great, Supports apt, X and AAC, Beautifully built, Simple to setup
It's not cheap
Like the rPAC before it, the Arcam rBlink is something of a revelation. If you've always considered Bluetooth audio to be an abomination, think again. Arcam has managed to marry wireless convenience with great sound quality, something many will consider ...
If your hi-fi is a wired-only affair, the rBlink can give it a new lease of life. It's most impressive when streaming audio from a device that supports aptX, but even if yours has standard Bluetooth, it's still pretty good. Apple users are currently bette...
Breakthrough in high-quality Bluetooth streaming, Smart, rugged, minimalist design, Setup takes minutes
Fairly expensive, Could include some wired functionality
The Arcam rBlink pulls off the impossible in marrying Bluetooth with ultra-high quality audio. The match is most show-stopping between aptX devices, but even humble 128-kilobit files over the standard SBC codec are given a jaw-dropping new lease of life. ...
