Hey all,

Just thought we'd share the cool news... the bLINK has won the Knock Out Award from Digital Audio Review.

Here's a bit of a summary from John's review:


"Not all Bluetooth receivers are born equal. The Wyred 4 Sound’s Bluetooth signal is reclocked before output to the DAC. It sounds markedly better than the Bluetooth stream spilling from AURALiC’s Aries Mini. More fluid in the midrange and less metallicised in the treble. It’s what we might call Next Level Bluetooth."

"What we have in the US$499 bLINK is Remedy-grade S/PDIF reclocking (for audiophile geeks) and that same reclocking circuitry applied to Bluetooth with quite outstanding results."

We're stoked! In case anyone doesn't know, the bLINK (https://wyred4sound.com/products/digital-converters/blink) is our award-winning Remedy reclocker (https://wyred4sound.com/products/digital-converters/remedy-reclocker) with added Bluetooth streaming capability. This means once you connect the bLINK to your DAC, you can connect any device via coax (think Sonos Connect, CD/DVD player, etc) and also stream music to it from phone, tablet, computer or any Bluetooth device. It's pretty cool and the Bluetooth really adds a huge convenience factor. At AXPONA we demonstrated it and ended up having a bunch of room visitors whip out their phones and have fun streaming their music through our system.

Perhaps a few of you could see using this device for when friends/SO (or even you) want to easily stream music to your hifi! (Tidal anyone?) :audiophile: Coinciding with the award, we're selling the bLINK with a free Kimber digital cable while supplies last. You can buy it directly from our website and just type in 'FREE CABLE' in the comments box at check out.

My pleasure.


I've been using your W4S modified Sonos for years. It is stellar and sounds amazing. I absolutely love it. It's time for me to check out some more W4S gear.

Thank you for making such great products.
