I received my new Marantz 1605 with Bluetooth this week and was looking forward to streaming Bluetooth from my SP3 to the Marantz which has been a nightmare. I hate to say this and will probably get chastised by the masses here but the Marantz works flawlessly with iphone 5s and both Ipads, zero issues.
I am able to pair the SP3 and the Marantz but that is short lived and the connection will drop and I have to go through the entire process again. I have a week before my return window expires and given several issues including the more recent Bluetooth issues it is looking like I will return which is unfortunate because the SP3 has so much potential.
I thought I would ask if anyone has any suggestions before I pack it in.
Update:
I had the following Kinivo BT dongle that I installed on the SP3 and it works just fine and provides a nice BT GUI to configure your BT devices. The SP3 native AVASTAR BT chipset is sub-par and needs a driver upgrade....I just don't understand a company such as Microsoft would not have better QC/testing before releasing the SP3. Below is the BT dongle that I am using and works fine...
