This one assumes you own a Bluetooth speaker, which for most people is the true state of things. The Bluetooth here sends rather than receives, so the disc plays and the sound arrives at the speaker across the room with no cable. Wood is doing a job too: a dense case damps the vibration a spinning disc makes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it have a speaker built in?\u003c\/strong\u003e It does not, and that is the main thing to know before you order. It is the source rather than the whole stereo, so it needs a speaker, a hi-fi or headphones to be heard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it come with a plug?\u003c\/strong\u003e No mains adapter in the box, though the USB cable is there. It runs on 5V over USB-C, so a phone charger plug or a laptop port is all it needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I stream to it from my phone?\u003c\/strong\u003e Not this one. Its Bluetooth sends sound out, it does not take it in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the two versions?\u003c\/strong\u003e One includes a fibre optic cable for the optical output and one does not.
