X 1050 bluetooth solution?

[barkers]

Guys, just had a Samsung P3 go belly up on me (the second touch screen to go in 5 months!) so not chuffed and looking for a better/more reliable option.

Requirements: Music quality is the important factor here, hence I'm looking at the 1050.

However....I need a bluetooth solution to stream music to my Gear4 bluetooth speakers and it looks as though the 1050 has no built-in bluetooth.

So......can anyone tell me if A: the bluetooth dongle shown on the Sony website works with the 1050? and B: If it does, at roughly what cost? (thoughts on a Sony centre throwing one in to seal the deal?) And finally, does it stream the EQ setting you select on the 1050 to the speakers? (The P3 only streamed a standard EQ setting [no enhanced bass etc] to the speakers)

Thanks in advance.....

The P3 does stream DNSe settings to speakers. I'm unsure about the Sony dongle. I just attach mine to the same BT speakers via cable.

But if its music quality you're after it doesn't matter which player you use - BT is mediocre. Don't waste your money.

You know D9, when I had the P3 it said that it did stream the DNSe settings.... but whenever I tried it always defaulted to 'standard'?? Anyway 2 screens gubbed=chucked!

I get what you're saying re quality of BT, to clarify..I meant music quality through wired headphones. I know quality will drop over BT to Gear4 speakers (which won't float many audiophiles boats themselves) but I love the convenience of not having to attach pmp to a dock or wires!

Any other thoughts, chaps/chapesses?
