Yes it does. A/D conversion.

For me APT-X Adaptive vs USB-C to USB-C there is very little if any difference. AAC vs USB-C to USB-C the cable is slightly better 3.5mm cable is easily the worst option.

To me it doesn't matter sonically but I like to understand the technology.

But it's not just one phone. Sony, LG, Creative, Sennheiser etc etc all connect with 96khz selected although some of the Dongles are a bit clitchy. According to qualcomm you won't get the connection if the headphones are not compatible? I'm not doubting the PX8 has a 24/48 dac but is it...

For APTX Adaptive there's two selections for connection speed 48khz or 96khz. If the headphones are not capable of 96khz you don't get the option.

No I'm not sure it is. Qualcomm say the device and headphone must be capable of 24/96 for you to be able to select the option. Numerous devices from different manufacturers (Phones and Dongles) are connecting with the PX8 at APTX Adaptive 24/96. Wired we know the PX8 limit is 24/48. So is...

If the PX8 is only capable of 24/48 why do they connect to various devices at 24/96?

I've not had a single issue with the PX8's on APTX Adaptive as long as my phone is on my person or at the side of me. The seem more stable than my Sony's on LDAC.

With a good connection I don't hear any difference between HD and Adaptive but when watching movies I've had lipsync issues with HD that I don't get with Adaptive. Obviously the difference in Latency.

Wired USB-C to USB-C. Wireless APTX-Adaptive.

Amazon Music reports 24/48 wired and 24/96 wireless for me. Aptx reports connected at 96kHz

I have a cheap stand at home and office to hang them on. I wasn't too concerned about scratches but as I have Tan I wanted to keep them as clean as possible.

Outside of the sound downgrade, comfort and micro usb I also don't use my P7W outside of the house as they are too big and bulky and most importantly no ANC for public transport and office. I keep my P7W as they are like new, sound good wired on a decent DAC, can be used passive with a flat...

I agree the P7W is still a good headphone, I still enjoy mine occasionally but only wired. I find it really poor now over bluetooth with it's old codecs masking a lot of detail. For bluetooth use the PX8 is a step up for my listening. And that's before we talk about comfort. The P5's I did...

I suppose if they work well enough, mixed reviews on here. But doesn't that somewhat take away from the portability of a bluetooth mobile phone and bluetooth headphones?
