Creative SoundBlaster E5
Question about Creative SoundBlaster E5
Can the somewhat weak audio output of the iPad also be amplified with this device in order to amplify the signal for the AUX input of the HIFI system? In this case, is it also possible to connect via BT from the iPad in order to play music via the HIFI system?

I don't know what product Tequillakilla is describing, but what it says is definitely wrong in relation to the Soundblaster E5.
The product can be used for exactly what Stephankäm is asking about. The Soundblaster E5 functions as a BT receiver for the signal from the iPad, converts it into an analogue signal (DAC) and outputs it via the analogue line out or the headphone output. At the same time, you can also optimise the sound to your own liking via the app on the iPad (both with the equaliser and with the SBX Pro).
CAVE: the E5 is not a Bluetooth transmitter! No signal can be sent to a Bluetooth receiver or BT headphones. It doesn't make sense, because you want to use the DAC in the E5, which is superior to the DAC in the usual BT receivers or BT headphones.
Basically, the Bluetooth connection can only be used between the E5 and the headphones, the connection between the sound source and the E5 must always be a cable.
Otherwise, the E5 does exactly what is the question here, it amplifies the audio signal.
