I'm using an Aukey portable Bluetooth device. Runs off micro-usb and outputs via 2.5mm to either 2.5mm or phono (included).

Works a treat in my car

I've just bought a

"JUSTOP BTR006 Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Audio Receiver With 3.5MM Jack, Universal Adapter For Speakers, New Module with Bluetooth V2.1 A2DP profile"

From Amazon for hooking up to my HiFi reviews seem good and it's a sensible price.

Used a Crystal Acoustics BluDAC Bluetooth Receiver for a couple of years which worked well and sound quality was pretty good but last week got a Rasberry Pi 2 running Volumio which i have plugged into my amp and it's blows using a Bluetooth Receiver out of the water

As long as it's got an AUX or Phono input it will work.

Is APT-X worth the extra?

Doesn't the dongle have a built in DAC? So a cheapo one would be quite degrading?

They're phono jacks so it'll work fine with a phono to 3.5mm cable.
