Hello, I am looking for a new Bluetooth receiver that can give me CD quality audio (or close to it.) for $50 or less. Any recommendations?

I've been eye-ing those too. I am looking for one with aptx and either toslink or coax digital out so I can send the bitstream to my DAC. I'm really in no hurry though, and I have no first hand experience. But if your receiver has an optical or coax digital input, you should go with a receiver that can use that. That will at least give you the opportunity to use whichever DAC sounds best... the one in your receiver or the one built into the BT receiver unit.

I actually don't have optical or coax inputs on my receiver. And I am looking for something with APTX to, forgot to mention that. And for now, I would prefer something with RCA outputs. -Thanks!

This thing is great. Works perfectly and sounds great. The optical output is key for avoiding hum and ground loops; can't believe it's included at this price point. The only downside is to switch to a different input device, you must first disconnect from the first (or turn BT off on that device). Some devices let you just hit "connect" on the new device and it takes over.
