Phone Bluetooth --> SPIDIF--> MiniDSP skipping factory head unit

[killeraxemannic 10+ year member]

I have a MiniDSP in my car that's currently using my factory head unit's low level RCA outs. My factory head unit has quite a few bluetooth connectivity issues so I was thinking about possibly getting some kind of device that can connect to my phone's Bluetooth and then provide an RCA SPIDIF signal to my MiniDSP C 6x8. This would effectively take the audio directly from the phone to the MiniDSP and skip the car's head unit all together. Is there a good way to do this? It looks like there are a few products out there that can connect to Bluetooth and then put out a SPIDIF signal but I'm not sure what to get or if there is an easier solution to get what I want.

Something like this maybe? Looks like I could power it via the cigarette lighter to USB or plug it in to the USB in my center console. I would just have to run an RCA cable to the MiniDSP

yes skip the factory head unit completely. your audio quality will be much better right off the batt.
