Snapdragon Sound just means Qualcomm has approved of the audio processing chain of chips used by the device maker. It just meets a standard they set for audio processing quality.
Correct and not Aptx Lossless until the chip supporting it is incorporated.Snapdragon Sound just means Qualcomm has approved of the audio processing chain of chips used by the device maker. It just meets a standard they set for audio processing quality.
Ok tested everything via my FiiO neckband with AAC/SBC/aptX/aptX LL/aptX HD/LDAC and the Dongle and its LED worked as described apart from one thing where you press the button to switch from LL to HD it switches but will not switch back until you disconnect/reconnect (easier to unplug dongle then plug it back in).
I wish the button would let you cycle the Codecs like it sounded like in the listings, FiiO do this so does Creative and Avantree had a LL/HD button years ago on their aptX HD Dongle.
I then decided to see if aptX Adaptive is indeed (as some on this forum claimed) backwards compatible with aptX HD the opposite way as you may know it does not work for devices with aptX HD (a mobile/cell phone) and aptX Adaptive earbuds as QUALCOMM made it sound like it did at launch, it simply falls back to aptX.
Setting the Dongle to only be able to use aptX HD and connecting my Sonic PRO & H1 Prem's & MTW3 they should have been connected in aptX HD but did not so fell back to SBC so unless I am, and others are reading into it wrongly it is in no way will ever be LL or HD just plain old aptX.
It’s up to you to provide the source, in terms of up to 24-bit/96KHz, then aptX Adaptive really just works on a best effort to distance basis. If you want best quality, then you need to have clear line of sight between transmitter and receiver and a super short distance For the max rate. It’s something like 3 metres maximum distance to retain max rate. Less distance equals more quality. No barriers including the human body.
I haven’t evaluated the latency as I just listen to music with them.Is the latency always approximately 80 ms or is this variable too?
7fsyb6o should look at the KB8P or its USB-C cousin if you can pinpoint the 24-bit one.
For now there seems to be unavoidable compromises. I think the next gen chips are promising the lowest latencies yet. Both the 3071 and the 5171 are promising 68ms.Even though 24bit 96kHz is tempting, I'm currently looking for an all-around solution for music listening, video calls (HFP mode), looking at streams etc, which BT-W4 seems to solve.
Do you know what is the password for that firmware update file?
