Arcam rBlink Bluetooth Music Converter

The Arcam rBlink Bluetooth music converter is a small but neat little box. It's a Bluetooth receiver that features a jitter removal circuit as well as a PCM 5102 24-bit digital to analogue converter.

Arcam rBlink review

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

An easy way to add high quality Bluetooth to your hi-fi, but it could be more affordable

Arcam rBlink review

There was a time when sending audio via Bluetooth was something audiophiles would just not do. Indeed, perhaps many of them still wouldn't, but you can tell the tide is turning when Arcam - the company well known for its multimedia prowess - jumps on...

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 too.

Arcam rBlink Bluetooth DAC

The latest arrival to the Arcam range could be a very useful bolt on for many people

Refined, detailed and enjoyable sound ; Very keenly priced ; Apt-X functionality gives useful performance boost

Slightly limited soundstage ; Can't work miracles with very compressed material ; Pairing button is a little fiddly
