I recently retired my Airport Express-based audio system for a NAD C338 amp that has built-in support for both Bluetooth and Wifi. The sound is incredible - I love this amp. But it turns out, "wifi" support means Chromecast only, not AirPlay. So I'm giving Bluetooth ATX a try. It works really well (within line of sight anyway), but the hassle is that my laptop will not auto-connect to the Bluetooth amp upon wake. Even if I wait 5 minutes after opening the laptop, I have to pull down the BT menu item and connect to it manually. Even if I "wake up" the amp well in advance. There doesn't seem to be any setting in BT preferences for this.
Is this normal for Bluetooth audio outputs, or is there something I can tweak to improve the situation? Separately: I wonder, now that Apple is getting out of the AEX business, whether they will loosen the licensing stranglehold on AirPlay and open it up free to 3rd party manufacturers (NAD says they don't support AirPlay because it's not cost-free to do so). Separately separately: I have filed a feature request with Apple to support Chromecast output natively from iTunes. Thanks, Scot -- d(-_-)b
