Thanks for that - I found it earlier, but I think it works the wrong way. I want a magic thingy that sucks music out of the pre-amp, digitizes it, and sends it to the Android, whereas that seems to take the Wi-Fi signal and push it to the HiFi RCA connector.

Would SoundWire work for you? I'm not sure as I've never tried it, it uses a PC(with line-in) to digitise and send the audio, you should be able to equalise at the PC. Is your source mainly analogue?

Honestly, this might be something that would be a good Raspberry PI project, since you'll also need to run an analog-to-digital conversion on the signal coming across the RCA. I'd be surprised if you could find a COTS product that will do what you want it to out of the box, at least not at a reasonable price.
I'm afraid that I don't know enough about analog-to-digital processing to make a good recommendation on approach, though.

Same boat, but never afraid of playing with things that have wires!
Soul was sold off for an excellent cheeseburger some years ago, though.

Equalizer --> Bluetooth Adapter --> Phone --> headphones --> your ears, seems like a lot of steps. More steps equal more areas for sound degradation?
Bluetooth is getting better, but it still leaves me wanting more, sometimes.
|
|
|
|
|
I agree about the degradation, but my ears are already pretty degraded.

I don't think its possible to send audio via Bluetooth to a phone, Bluetooth has strict source/sink rules. Omit the phone and use Bluetooth headphones (which are getting much better, but not Stax better) and what you suggest would work.
|
|
|
|

Why not? I use hands-free via bluetooth in the car and, unless I'm missing something, that is sending audio to the phone.

Isn't it a bit too early to be "On the Gin" Nagy?
Unless I'm missing something, aren't you sending audio from the phone via Bluetooth when doing hands-free.
Unless you mean the voice command to do the dialling, in that case I'm not sure how that works, it must be Voodoo magic.

No, you are missing something.
I speak, this causes microphones fitted to the car to vibrate and create an electrical signal.
The signal is transmitted to the phone via bluetooth and that sends it out through the cellular network. The callers inbound messages go from the phone via bluetooth to the car's audio system and out to the speakers.

Oops yes of course you are correct...
I take back what I said about the gin.
All I can offer in my defence is that for HQ audio transfer we are usually taking about AVDTP, the voice link is a different part of the Bluetooth protocol and much lower quality.

No, no! That's the only bit you got right!

I am doing that every day in my car. My phone is seen like a storage media over Bluetooth by the car sound system.

So you car's stereo sends music to your phone, rather than the other way around?

well, no. My car stereo picks up the music from the phone, which is seen as a storage media. Just like a USB key.

Have you looked into the Bluetooth enabled hearing aids? You can connect directly to your device and hear the music fit to your hearing deficiencies. Headphones over hearing aids does not work very well.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

You, Sir, are a star. That is just the kind of magic thingy I was looking for. At 20 quid it is definitely worth a punt. In fact, I shall probably get a pair, and use the second one for the few occasions I watch the telly, when MrsLadyWife™ complains I need the volume too high. It actually looks rather as if it is a modified hands free job, as per the Nagy Vilmos post.
Have a zillion rep-points (or a very small part thereof).

I hope the device lives up to the reviews, Let me know how it works out for you.

I don't think it work for sending audio to a phone or other Android device, which is what I thought you were tying to do.
This is for sending audio to a pair of bluetooth headphones or bluetooth speakers.

Yes - and they are pretty poor, and most of them seem to be earbuds-on-a-curved-stick type, and I like full covering headphones.

Simply use the new-fangled pitch correction available in audio software to take the music down a few semitones, until you can hear the high bits again
Plus you can get interesting artifacts, like vocals sounding strangely metallic, but that seems pretty common in modern music for some reason anyway. Not for a minute suggesting that modern pop stars are selected for looks rather than ability, no sir.
