My case was just to get quality audio from a good and quiet enough laptop computer. I chose to use a simple wired audio link. ie, headphone out on computer to RCA-type AUX-IN on stereo. Cables run about $2 ppd off ebay. I also use similar cables to get top-quality audio from a high-end Sony WEGA TV. (Harmon Kardon & Scott receiver/amps, high-end Boston Acoustics speakers. I don't believe "computer audio" stuff can match it) This has no fiddling at all, and add-on is CHEAP!. Audio quality seems fine with cables up to 12 ft long, and the highs I worried about are good without tweaking. Bluetooth seems to require that I fiddle, restart, etc, (especially when there are multiple units active) and an adapter costs more.
