    The B1 is the king!
    5 Stars
    The B1 is the king!
    I did an A/B between my Ifi blue zen V2 and Audioengine B1.They are both great Bluetooth receivers. The difference is not night and day.....but the B1 offers better soundstage and separation. The Ifi does seems to have a weightier sound - great bass - but after several A/B's the aging B1 comes across as the most natural sounding and less fatiguing.This is impressive and surprising since I run the Ifi in LADC at 990kbs. Whereas the aging B1 only has aptx HD does. I did not expect this.My rig is a modified Sansui 999 from 1971 - completely rebuilt with a balanced differential input and other updates throughout.Either Bluetooth receiver was tested against each other, using my Oppo BD105 as a reference. Neither can quite match the oppo's impressive analog output stage (do yourself a favor and see a cover-off photo of the oppo and enjoy the sea of red Wima film caps).
