This must be converted to digital for transmission. How come outlaw audio does not provide specs for the digital conversion? 
Need portable speakers for travel
Looks like Bluetooth 4.0 has a high enough rate for CD quality sound, whereas BT 2.1 (like on the TDK) I believe requires compression.What kind of room size do you use the Dell for? I'm looking for something to give good sound in a hotel room. Not...

Maybe a 211 type amp.
