Cable vs Bluetooth

Hi, I have my digital sources off to one side of the room and run a 5meter phono cable to the p50.
I’m considering purchasing a Bluetooth sender/receiver kit to banish the cable and would like your thoughts on Bluetooth connection and recommendations of equipment- in all honesty I’m only considering a change as the cable bulge under the rug is unsightly lol

This is quite good. It is the only input on my second system.

No experience, I only trust cables.

Bluetooth gives me headaches and tinnitus.

I can't possibly see how it can equal cable.

It does not equal cable but sounds ok, only use it in the second bedroom system.

Spotify = fine. 16bit and up, noticeably lower quality whatever the equipment.

Spotify is (at best) a 320 Mbps Ogg Vorbis compressed data stream. An average FLAC stream is double that. All wireless signals will be subject to jitter caused by transmitting and receiving devices - and dropouts from surrounding EM/radio interference.

Stick to cables if you want quality. The only wireless device I use is a Sonos in the kitchen which is just fine for background and washing-up music.
