Is it feasible to "bluetooth" from an Ipod/Ipad/laptop direct to my Arcam Movie solo?

I have collected all my music into one place....a laptop in preparation for travelling and have a jawbone bluetooth speaker. Works well. I wondered if I could the same with my home audio system.

If you have the answer please keep it to ABC level. Thanks

You can use something like a Bluetooth receiver/dock/gateway, like this simple Bluetooth audio receiver that wirelessly streams music with your mobile device, and sends analog audio to whatever you want it to:

There are lots of devices like this out on the market. If you want to stick with another Arcam device, you can try their Bluetooth DAC:

I dont think you can, i looked up the Arcam and it doesnt appear to support bluetooth however you can buy a dock for your iWhatever and listen to music that way. However if your not afraid to spend a bit of money to get a whole home audio experience then i recommend this http://www.sonos.com/system <that page should explain the sonos system and what you can do with it, also the shop link on the top of the page. Depending on the amount of speakers you require it'll probably run you between $1000 and $3000.
