The tail end of last week I received the Outlaw FTB-01 Bluetooth adaptor for my 976.
I have been very impressed with its performance so far.
Streaming from Amazon music works flawlessly and sounds very, very good.
In the past I have been using a Chromecast audio and it worked well but the FTB-01's sound quality is definitely and upgrade for sure.
I can highly recommend this little adaptor for anyone wanting to stream music through their 976.

Are you bluetooth streaming from your phone or some other device? Is the sound quality using Amazon Music any better than connecting an Echo Dot to the 976 via a 3.5mm to RCA adapter cable? An old Echo Dot is certainly cheaper.

Frankly, I would love to use Amazon Music HD, but I can't find a cost effective streaming solution that does more that 44KHz.

I am streaming from my phone and I really like the sound quality from Amazon HD and the FTB-01.
I am no audiophile but I was using the Chromecast Audio via an optical connection and definitely prefer the FTB-01.
