Re: [slim] Using Transporter TOSLINK out for bluetooth adapter
Im using them purely to listen to my records as I record them to FLAC so that I can move around a bit and so SWMBO can still watch TV while Im doing it. Its not a serious use case as once the LP is in FLAC format and if I want to listen on headphones Im using the wired B into my iPhone (or iPad) with iPeng / LMS. The Bluetooth RX thingy I put in my pocket as I do with the iPhone.

Re: [slim] Using Transporter TOSLINK out for bluetooth adapter
Yes, you can use them wired but that kind of defeats the purpose. These could work, but I'd have to use the cable supplied by Bose as it uses the skinnier jack on the headphones. Depends on the quality of the DAC in the device; the Bose DAC is quite good, I understand, which is why I'm disappointed that it doesn't support the APTX codex. Although these days, I suppose, most DACs in small devices are pretty good. Not sure I want to have to tote around the device in my shirt pocket or something, though. R.

Re: [slim] Using Transporter TOSLINK out for bluetooth adapter
Ron Are the Bose cans wired as well as wireless? I recently made my wired B cans into Bluetooth enabled with one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-Transmitter-Receiver-TaoTronics-Simultaneously-Black/dp/B016UF7J5C I have a pair of these devices one in TX mode into the headphone socket of my amp and another in RX mode for the headphones. I dont see why the RX version wouldnt work with your new Bluetooth transmitter.

Re: [slim] Using Transporter TOSLINK out for bluetooth adapter
So, I got my Avantree Oasis Plus bluetooth device, and after an initial panic (I'd plugged the optical cable into the optical out of the Avantree, and of course it didn't work) it works fine. Some observations: Sadly, the Bose 35II headphones that I received for Christmas do not support the advanced codecs like APTX, so can't take advantage of high-res bluetooth transmission. This is one of the big pluses of the Avantree device, in that it supports both high-res and low latency modes for Bluetooth. So if you want to have high-res capabilities in an untethered headphone, or to watch videos with the audio properly synched, look elsewhere than Bose. The sound is not bad, the noise cancellation is great (although in my quiet house this isn't a big plus), the headphones are comfortable but they don't take advantage of the higher-res signal available. The Avantree device has excellent range. It uses the highest power bluetooth standard, and in theory has a range of up to 300 feet, although this will depend on the receiving device. In any event, more than enough to work anywhere in the house and out into the garden. Not extensively tested, as it's cold and snowing, but no reason to think it won't work. And I can verify that the optical out of the Transporter is indeed volume-controlled. R.

That, in fact, is exactly what I had ordered from the Canadian Amazon site. My only concern is whether the optical out on the Transporter is volume-controlled, but I figure that if the analog outs are it must be as well. We'll see. R.
