    In a bit of a follow up to my previous thread on a hi-fi replacement, I was wondering if anyone was aware of a amp that has a Bluetooth transmitter as one of the outputs? As we would like to be able to connect two pairs of Bluetooth headphones so the kids can have a silent disco (i.e. listen to music without us having to listen to whatever god-awful tat they want....

    Denon X3600H (If you can find one for sale anywhere) or X3700H (upgraded version but 2x price almost)

    I have one and can confim it has a bluetooth transmitter/receiver - also has excellent stereo sound and does pretty much all the audio formats for home cinema.

    Also meets your requirements for network share, alexa etc.

    Built in Heos, spotify, tune in radio. Also has ability to run an independent second stereo zone.

    Will grow as you get speakers etc.

    As awesome as that looks, maybe I should have put some budget constraints in my post :S
    Ideally, we're looking at ~£300

    Any recommendations?

    Just a warning. Don't send FLAC through BT. It really doesn't like it. MP3 are absolutely fine, though.
