Bluetooth receiver for home stereo

Looking for recommendations for a bluetooth receiver for my home stereo. Want to stream SiriusXM radio to it. What are you using or whats a good unit to get?
Thanks, Greg

I have two Rocketfish brand. One in the house (through a Marantz 2252B) and the other for the garage.

Been happy with them.

I bluetooth to my apple TV from my iPhone, iPad, or Macbook Pro. Works perfectly.

Couldn’t afford an Audio Engine but this has been working well for me.

I have one of these connected to a couple KRK 5” monitors in my shop. Stream from an older iPhone to it

I use google cast which is wifi based. Allows me to cast from my phone and then my phone can be used for other stuff. Like calls. ..

I bought this one from Amazon Bluetooth Audio Adapter for Music Streaming Sound System, esinkin W29-us
It was not expensive but it wasn't great either for streaming Hi Res Audio.
It did work but not up to Audiophile quality and of course no where near the price.
It could be useful though.

Now my DAC has it built in and is wonderful but that would be overkill for your purpose.

Thanks for all the responses, gives me plenty to think about. A friend also suggested the Audioengine product. Any thoughts? Looking for the best sound quality I can get.

I've heard good things about Audio Engine. But it was too expensive for me and the bluetooth was rather dated. Seems like they are due for a new model w/ the latest tech.

Not sure about SiriusXM audio quality - not sure if spending extra money on a higher end bluetooth receiver is warranted.
