Reply to comment by Nr48 in Running a Bluetooth Dac like Qudelix-5K or Fiio BTR5 and Pairing It With Amazon Firestick? Has anyone done it? by BigBrainAlphaMale

Thanks for sharing all of this. So it looks like the bottleneck ends up being the bluetooth headphones if you pair it with the 1mii B03 transmitter, since the bluetooth headphones would have to have the low latency spec baked into it?

What about buying two of the 1mii B03 devices and use one as a transmitter at the TV and the other as a receiver where the user sits and plug in a pair of wired headphones into the receiver. Would that work properly? I like a nice cheap solution. I'm starting to like the idea of being able to use wired headphones on the "receiver" end since I've heard issues with people's bluetooth headphones dying due to the battery and whatnot. The receiver end could theoretically use any wired headphones that can be driven by the 1mii B03. The 1mii B03 Pro has a dac on it. Maybe purchase that for the receiver and the 1mii B03 as the transmitter? What do you think? Any better ideas.

Yes, if you want a Bluetooth headphone it should support aptx LL at best. Here is a list.

Don't use a Bluetooth transceiver as a headphone amp. Less power and features, too big, volume control sucks.... . Better stick to your original idea and use the 1mii transmitter and a btr5 or qudelix 5k. (maybe btr3k if on a tight budget)

The EQ function to adjust the sound to your liking is also a big plus.

One thing, you have a 5.1 system connected to your TV? Then you would have to change the tv settings to PCM for headphones and back for 5.1 all the time.
