Music was never meant to be listened to with Bluetooth (or wirelessly). I still can't fathom how many people still don't realize how bad Bluetooth and other wireless signals are for the human body, including the brain.
I guess you haven't tried Sony's LDAC bluetooth because the quality is excellent streamed to my Sony receiver at over 900 kbps. I am in the market for a new DAP as my A17 is getting older and the N3 fits my budget right now.
I have a bluetooth speaker in my kitchen and most of my friends and family have bluetooth speakers and I like to use my DAP when we get together to share my music. So for me bluetooth is a convenience I want to have and AptX is the next best codec to LDAC. I won't buy a modern DAP without this convenient feature.
I have an high end home system for serious listening and portable audio is mainly a convenience for me. Bluetooth capability makes it that much more convenient.
