The B1 uses the Bluetooth drivers located on your computer, so you may need to ensure you’re using the most up to date drivers for your computer’s Bluetooth. We’d also recommend going to the manufacturer of your computers website, and see if they have Bluetooth drivers there.
AptX® keeps an up to date list of supported device on their site. See here, for supported smartphones: https://www.aptx.com/products?field_product_category_tid=126 And here, for supported tablets: https://www.aptx.com/products?field_product_category_tid=135
If it’s on and solid – This means the B1 is powered on, and currently connected to a Bluetooth enabled device. If it’s on and blinking – This means the B1 is powered on, but not currently connected to a device If it’s off (and plugged into power) – This means the B1 is powered […]
Once your B1 is paired and connected then any app (iTunes, etc.) or online players (such as Youtube) will automatically play your music through Bluetooth.
The B1 uses Bluetooth, which operates on the same 2.4GHz band as most Wi-Fi Routers. There’s always a possibility for interference with wireless technology on the same frequency, but in our testing this was very uncommon.
B1 automatically powers-down and mutes the output after about 10 minutes. The BT input, however, is still active so you can just pair to it again without pressing the front panel button. B1 will remain on if a device is paired with it and turned on though.
The B1’s optical out is designed to pass the digital signal to another DAC; using the optical output wouldn’t utilize the B1’s DAC and would simply send the received signal out without padding the bit-depth. The RCA outputs of the B1 would utilize the built-in DAC, so the output would be padded to a 48kHz […]
