We've got a garden bar which has an old Denon av amp and Dali speakers in it , up until now ive had a small bluetooth receiver but was wondering if there is any way to connect my Samaung s8 via the usb c to the component , optical or hdmi as the amp doesnt have a usb connection as i was to let the amps dac do the work instead of the shit one in the phone
Headphone jack convertor. Take the 3.5mm to the amp size? In theory should work...
Yeah headphone to phono works but i wanted to bypass the phones dac to get better quality if possible
Chromecast audio?
Ive not got wifi down the end of the garden or id have a sonos connect down there
A USB-C to HDMI adaptor should work. eg https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-Adapter-Supports-Macbook-Chromebook/dp/B01MYUCWOK
This one mentions S8 in compatibility, but that might be video.

Cheers lead ordered
Logitech bluetooth adaptor.
What a huge difference the lead has made compared to the bluetooth receiver.... thanks people
Logged for similar issues..
If you have a wifi signal then Chromecast is the best option, great bit of kit
Surely this is about blue-tooth bandwidth/bitrate rather than the phone's DAC?
(And aren't phone DACs OK these days or is that just iphones?)

I'd go with this. Aptx is the bluetooth standard for higher quality audio. The Samsungs quoted above will have it, just need it on the reciever as well.
