For those of you who are using Apple products and have an old iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with a headphone jack or dock connector, I can warmly recommend the following: Jailbreak the old device and install an AirPlay receiver. Does the same job as the device demonstrated here, but does not need a Chinese third-party application to set up. Marginally less dodgy and the old iPhones do have quite decent DACs. AirPlay streams are in most cases lossless compressed format (using the suggested solution, always) and your old phone will show up as an output device on other Apple devices.

Excellent video and very well presented (once was an IT Trainer) but now with very small and compact £10 Audio Amplifiers found on eBay which allow loudspeaker, Bluetooth, line-in, AUS and USB connections you can do exactly the same without the faff of making a DIY one. I have an old MS Surf Pro (used mini-laptops are very cheap on Ebay now) which allows the same access to smartphone streaming music, but you have a much larger and easier to administrate the screen as I do with TH-cam, Radio Boom and Spotify.

Just buy a wiim or a second hand chromecast audio and use an external DAC ...

I have a 70s nikko trm 750 with din plugs. I got a din to 4 rca adapter to connect the s10+ but i get very low output. Any tips ? Thanks!

good morning, great solution. I wanted to know are there wifi headphones instead of bluetooth?Maybe you mean listening to music through speakers connected with cables, otherwise if you then connect Bluetooth headphones you have not solved anything, or am I wrong?

Is it much better than a Chromecast audio?

Unfortunately the input to my TV is an RF cable. Not hdmi. It's a new Samsung and it has no audio outputs whatsoever

You right 👍

Thank You Roger, just restored the modern TV sound via my classic 80's Kenwood stereo system with huge speakers. I've spread the word of how to do this via the HDMI ARC Extractor.

Hey Roger, I am looking for ways to hook up my active studio monitors to my Samsung tv & sound bar entertainment system. Now my Tv and sound bar both use ears or BT or Wifi. I thought The best solution would be to connect everything via Wi-Fi after watching your video. However, it seems that this device only works with an app - So my question is, would it work with the TV and put like watching Netflix? So, in short, I have a really great monitors that are analog, and want to integrate them into my existing sound bar entertainment system. The tv is the main audio source

that antistatic bag does nothing in there, it does not "dissipate" anything... it prevents static charges you may have on the body to reach the board while it's INSIDE of it, and that's it... a dissipation needs something to bring the charges to the ground, it's not "wireless" :D

You need the Up2Stream HD DAC model for TIDAL or any HI-Res music service, wich is 150 dollars not 50.

I use iEast oliostream and Denon Heos devices, but this project very interesting! Wifi dlna streamers 1000x greater than BT devices.

I just leave an old cell phone with a headphone jack plugged in the same way...( spotify works the same way with two phones, but is glitchy sometimes.) Saved me $50 tho

Something that could be useful to somebody out there: The Apple TV 4K hands down has the strongest Bluetooth signal I’ve used for watching tv. I watch a lot of TH-cam and I can easily walk from my bedroom with the tv on to the kitchen 30-40 feet away. Just something worth giving a try especially if you’re looking at one anyways. This was true on the 1st gen 4k and the current model. I have both

This is pretty cool! I wonder if they make one with a toslink output to the stereo? That would be incredible

Hoarder? Meh!!! Collector of awesome equipment. That Marantz receiver is fantastic. That is considering going up against today's equipment. They have a sound that just seems warmer.

I just hooked up an old iPad to my receiver using the earphone jack. The cheapest option. The cable only costs like $4.

I need an extractor so that I can choose to watch a video or just listen to audio from my chromecast.

Simply a wiim mini in a tuned up packaging 😂

Hi, great DYI project, but it still will be limited on sound quality. The cheap DAC is a cheap DAC.

took you 10 minutes to say this?

I bought the adapter featured in your video. Got it hooked up in a matter of minutes. Wow what a difference in the sound and all I’m using is shelf speakers. Thank you!

If you have an Apple device, a Roku is $30 and does Airplay (which is wifi not Bluetooth) and you can also stream video with it. I am sure it’s not the only streaming device with AirPlay built in.

Please never roger your streamer

It's a pity most streaming providers automatically compresses the audio for streaming, so it is already missing a lot of information before anything else. This is still a good method or a uhf transmitter and receiver.

Would you say this is similar to the google audio ?

can i connect it to my av receiver's hdmi out and connect the extractor to an aux speaker, im trying to listen to CDs (the receiver has a built in dvd/bluray drive)

Thanks what a practical video, the sort of project I would do, I’m always fiddling with boards off eBay, Great what you can buy for a few quid, preamps, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, adjustable psu etc.

Way too much hands matey

Good job! Thank you Larry for taking time to make a beautiful tutorial!

I have new TV that had HDM arc. My sound system has digital/ audio. Is their a transfer system to plug digital/ audio in side and HDM arc out toTV on other side.

I have been doing this for years. My latest LG has an earphone socket feeding into a Technics SU-V300 amp and then out of 44 year old Wharfedale laser 100's , sounds superb. I can also blue tooth flac and wav files from my phone. Sound quality just blows away sound bars.

Hi there. I just watched this and it’s extremely informative.+1 sub. Please can you answer my query below for complete clarification. I have a Bose 900 soundbar with eARC. I also have the Bose subwoofer and speakers.i have a Sony tv that supports eARC. I also have an XBOX series X and a sky box (TiVo). I also have streaming services e.g Disney, Apple, Netflix etc which support Dolby Atmos.I want to get Dolby Atmos for all devices and services. Can I connect my Xbox and TiVo to the hdmi ports in my tv and then an hdmi cable from the soundbar eARC to my tv eARC to get Dolby Atmos? If you can help me out I would really appreciate it!

Thanks!

Arc audio exctracts just nothing, this is fake DAC, no sound output, everything is connected properly.

I just bought hdmi audio extractor with one hdmi port, seems not working with any of my devices, just bought crap, tv is new with hdmiarc port I have many cables - no problem, more is good, I hate this stupid hdmi standard, this is for computer not for tv, tv is not smart enought.

Ungh.. I bought the wrong one. Thanks for the explanation. My inlaws will be happy now.

Hi Roger, your DIY approach is admirable but the market has voted & the Wiim Mini is king. It was available for $80 on Black Friday. P.S. there is no Bluetooth compression per se, the compression comes from the MP3 source the Bluetooth link carries. My experience listening to internet radio shows high quality MP3 broadcasts are available, you have to let your ears be the best judge. Cheers!

So it also needs a wifi router.

Thank you for the info.

Stereo speaker leave out the midrange so you can't hear them talking, you need tv center speaker that are full range bar speaker that are tv mid range

Perfect tip, just what I needed! Thank you again

I bit the bullet and ran wires - Network switcher and Wifi receiver. Sold my Sonos to some unsuspecting Gen Z'r

Ha! Roger the shrubber...

Too funny 😂 you emphasise the compression losses if using BT ! But completely fail to acknowledge the compression that Spotify utilises for their streaming service ! 😂 qobuz ! Cd or HD quality !

Yeah.. anyone who has a firestick or a Google thing .. can just use screen share via WiFi and achieve the exact same thing ! No extra cost 😂😂 this guy is genuine .. but Meh' bit dumb tbh

Omd 😂 do you think you've got 5yr old children watching this tutorial !?!?!? 😂... I cannot believe the unnecessary detail you've focused on ! 😂 dear oh dear oh dear ! 😂

11:10 Hi Roger great video. I have just bought a projector with Bluetooth and aux which are the only ways of getting the sound out other than it's own speakers good but limited. On Bluetooth to my Samsung qr70 soundbar it is not synced. I tried pcm auto and Dolby output settings from the projector. I believe I need an analogue to digital converter so aux out to r/w rca in then optical out to the optical in on the soundbar can you recommend a good analogue to digital converter so I can use surround sound, cheers Joe

Thanks so much! I didn't realise that my speakers had Bluetooth until you mentioned it. The cables didn't work for me, but Bluetooth does the job. Cheers!
