    I would like to know why my Bluetooth Auris BluMe Pro cuts out every 5 to 10 seconds. I am very disappointed with this product.

      Have you contacted Auris? I have had no issue with the product. It does have a 100 ft range. When controlled in the same room there should be absolutely no issue. Perhaps your source is the culprit? If your phone or laptop isn't streaming seamlessly there is nothing the Auris can do to correct it. I would doublecheck your WiFi speeds, your distance from the unit and if that fails call Auris to troubleshoot the issue. I'm sure they will replace it if defective.

      ​@@ThePressingMatters Bien sûr qu'il est connecté comme il faut. Il a fonctionné bien à peu près 9 mois, et il a commencé à couper aux 5 à 10 secondes sans arrêt, et ça empire avec le temps. Donc, j'ai déconnecté ce Bluetooth et remis un fil. J'ai perdu $250.00 avec cette cochonnerie-là.

      I'm sorry you experienced a failure with your unit. I will see if I can contact Auris and ask if they could respond to you.

      It seems there is a one year warranty, but it's certainly worth trying to ask for a replacement.

      Hi Daniel,
      Thank you for your email and sorry for the problem with the bluMe Pro.
      Please make sure you are using the AC adapter provided and that it is connected to a power outlet.

      Yes, it is a bit different content for my channel! But it is important to me and I really think it's a great unit. Mine doesn't automatically pair every time either. Are you using Apple devices?

    The only streaming device I have is an early Sonos which, for some reason, now refuses to connect. I must say I don’t miss that inability to stream as I rarely used it when it worked. Great review on this though, Scott and that’s great value for the money too.

    Hey Scott. Nice piece of kit.
    You probably don't remember that Bille Holliday and Lester Young CD I mentioned on my rattle through on the live stream. However, I feel with your love of Billie you would warm to this album and streaming is where I first discovered it. Also, do you know Melody Gardot? If not, I think she's worth a listen. Her album One and only thrill is such a great late-night listen. Catch you in the next stream mate.

    I heard it at Scott's and I didn't run out of the room! Meaning, it caught my attention. In fact, it was VERY surprising! Or put another way, I rather stream something HQ through this than play a poorly mastered record on a multi kilobuck analog rig! This is way better!

    If you have an existing DAC, you can skip the Blu ME D/A and go straight thru digital. I have a Schitt DAC, and I bought the non-pro unit and went optical to my DAC. Note that with a Samsung android phone like mine, I can send Atmos content to the Blu ME, which often has more dynamics than the straight hi-res mastering.
    This is an essential device. It's great to preview and explore with.

    • @ThePressingMatters

  • @revelry1969

    Uh oh! You are going digital 😮. Vinyl is still a more “real” playback but the digital is getting better. I use Dolby Atmos in “stereo” mode and it is pretty great. That is the future. Unfortunately most of the new modern releases are mastered like garbage. I love my vinyl but to me…most of this new music nowadays is digitally produced (pro tools etc). So at some point we will all have to bring the digital in. In the right way. 👍🏻

    • @ThePressingMatters
      @ThePressingMatters  Před 4 měsíci +2

      Now don't panic 😁
      I'd say I'm dipping my toe into it! Vinyl is my first love and the reissue scene is wonderful, but with this device, I've heard so much 'new' music, and it's fun to sample tracks that you wouldn't hear otherwise. Interestingly, 90% of the demonstrations at the audio show were digital. I suppose for ease, but there's some pretty impressive sound to be had with the hi res services.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't an old Airport Express or even an old AppleTV connected to your system offer the same quality audio for Apple users?

      Now now just calm down. I knew you would be prickly about vinyl vs digital comparisons. I didn't do extensive comparisons, but streamed things I recently heard on vinyl. There is a difference obviously. It's not going to reach a $7,000 front end. There was a superiority to vinyl that this can't touch. This device is not aimed to do that. But it doesn't embarrass itself in a decent system.
