I’m trying to understand the point of this. Just for fun I got an S10, got it talking to the network and installed the app on the iPhone. No problem there. Now I’d like to do something like stream audio to a speaker. Yeah I get I can take an AUX cable and connect to the AUX in of my speaker. So what? I’m trying to Bluetooth from the S10 to a Bluetooth speaker. Can’t seem to pair. Is this use case not supported. Am I missing the point here? Do I need other hardware to make this all talk? Would someone point me to some examples of how this can all be built out. I would like to use this thing to play music over wifi, but so far I can’t seem to do anything useful here.
Hi Bearcated,
The Bluetooth is an input only on the S10, you could use this from your mobile device. If you have the unit connected to your home network, you could play music from your desired source such as your phone or from your pc, note though you will need a UPnP DLNA renderer plugin (Foobar) for iTunes to work
Maybe in addition.
If you have a phone with bluetooth and a speaker with bluetooth, why would you like to put a bluetooth device in between?

Like you bought a preamp. A preamp is made to be your source switching to go to an Amp with speakers or powered speakers of some sort.
Bluetooth speakers are supposed to connect to your source wirelessly, via bluetooth . Of course some have an aux in which you could connect to the preamp, but you’re just introducing a go between at that point.
Now if the S10 has better codec support for bluetooth than your speakers, then you could use the line out from the S10 to the aux in on the speakers and run everything through the S10. Connect your phone via Bluetooth to it. Connect your other sources to it via line in, optical in and so forth. Make your Bluetooth speakers more useful.
