Are there any av receivers with Bluetooth headphone outputs at the budget end of the market ?

If you want to transmit to a set of bluetooth headphones - I use a cheap bluetooth transmitter plugged into the the headphone socket:

^^^ Yep this, I've been using the Avantree aptX LOW LATENCY and it has worked perfectly fine for me.

Yes I have a transmitter but my receiver is starting to play up so I thought it would make sense to replace it with one that had the Bluetooth built in,if possible

I see an issue with that,it only has 1 optical input.
I have a tivo box,an android box and a mini pc that all export audio over s/pdif

With an AV receiver, you run the audio AND the video through it.. just use a HDMI input

I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure the pc doesn't do audio through hdmi, don't know about the other 2.
I'm probably best checking before i go any further aren't I.

This is what is confusing me,the manual for my amp.... Cambridge Audio 340R....states
"To receive audio from Hdmi sources a coaxial or optical audio connection must be made from each source"
So, it's the amp that can't handle audio over hdmi not that the sources can't send it ?
I take it all modern receivers can then ?

That should be the case, yes

WAIT!

I am not sure the bluetooth on any AVR is designed to be uses as a transmitter, I thought it was for receive only.
