Onkyo has added streaming capabilities to its remote control apps for iPod Touch/iPhone and Android/Kindle platforms, and introduced a USB Bluetooth adapter that provides similar capabilities through a hardware gateway. The upgraded Onkyo Remote 2 app for iPod and iPhone allows a user to stream music stored on her iPod Touch or iPhone directly to Onkyo’s 2012 model networked receivers through her wireless home network. Streaming through this app is done at CD quality, 44.1/16bit rates and supports track name, album name, artist name, album art and time data.

Onkyo is also shipping a new UBT-1 Bluetooth USB adapter (3.0), which will allow Bluetooth enabled wireless phones, tablets and other devices to stream music to Onkyo’s 2012 network receivers.

The Onkyo UBT-1 adapter is configured with CSR’s aptX compression reduction codec that claims to restore the natural dynamic range to audio files. It’s spec’d at a flat frequency response of 10 Hz to 22 kHz bandwidth, a dynamic range of 92 dB, and an algorithmic delay of less than 1.89 ms.

The UBT-1 lists for $59.
