I want it so i can bluetooth files between my laptop and mobile phone.

The dongle is giving your computer a bluetooth transmitter/receiver, so it will be able to connect to the amplifier via bluetooth, maybe you'd need some extra software to allow the computer to play the music via bluetooth to the amp.

It'd be worth looking on the amplifiers manufacturer website to see if there is any help/software to download.
