Aside from having to fly home with food poisoning Mexico was quite enjoyable.

Closest town

Great restaurant

on the beach

with entertainment

Nice way to end a day

Made friends at the resort

And day end was nice there too

They had a great sound. Was always a fan of Cornell, just really dug his vocals.
The group was short-lived though. Fun while it lasted...

I noticed how paltry their song selection was. Still great sounding vibes.

I just picked up a FiiO BTA30 Pro for my Hifiman Ananda-BTs. Wow what an upgrade from every other Bluetooth source I have, including my RS6 DAP. This is one of those come to Bluetooth moments. It does quite a few Bluetooth codecs including LDAC. I’ve not heard a Bluetooth headphone sound so good. I forget I’m listening without a cable. Deep textured bass, lush midrange, and nice tamed sparkly treble. The detail is good too, but this may be due to the player I’m using on my MacBook Pro. I need to try this on a PC and with a couple different players. I think the Ananda-BT sounds better than the OG wired Ananda.

So the Bluetooth sources I’ve used so far….
1) Apple MacBook Pro 2019 Intel factory Bluetooth - oh it’s terrible for audio. Only codecs are sbc and aac.
2) Creative BT-W3 - sounds and performs cheaply. All AptX codecs supported.
3) Hiby RS6 - Sounds very good but not as good as the FiiO. Supports all AptX codecs and LDAC

Damn, that’s a lot of turn tables.

And aptX:

...which was briefly useful when I had some noise-cancelling BT Senns for my daily commute which didn't support AAC. Also made the lack of aptX on the iPhone even more annoying...

Yeah I’m aware of this. I’ve had pretty bad luck with it. Bluetooth Explorer seems to crash a lot, and IMO I can’t tell a difference in sound quality. The reason I didn’t list it is because it’s not supported by apple.

It's weird that on Head-Fi, this video does not show up, or play.
But, if I copy and paste the video ID: _fHUPyPhi-0 into YouTube on my PC, it plays just fine.

That is a bit weird, because it both shows up and plays for me here on HF.

I bought the BTA30 when it was first available. It looks like most of the "Pro" features aren't really what I'd use - except for the higher coaxial input data rate.

Right after I posted that, I got a pop-up saying Firefox needed to be restarted for an update.
