Yes. I've never quite understood this. On a sort of side-note why use a good DAP with a Bluetooth dongle like the BTR3? Is it any better than using a LDAC capable phone? That's a genuine question, not rhetorical!
I'm finding that the M11 bluetooth with AptX HD, when paired with a similarly capable receiver (I use the Blu-Dento HD), and flac source material, is easily good enough to work well with my not-audiophile-grade stereo system. It sounds _great_. Will Is till think so if I upgrade my stereo? Don't know. I'm thinking about it so perhaps we'll find out.
I would be leary about lower quality bluetooth codecs, so I shun anything that isn't AptX HD, and it's one of the reasons I bought the M11. Of course there isn't much AptX HD stuff out there to buy, so that's a challenge, but more rolls out every day.
That said, wires for the win, I'm not putting together a deliberate bluetooth ecosystem, just using it where and when it's convenient. But if I want quality I use wires.
(And of course I also use it with my headphones, but the convenience of bluetooth is great, and using the M11 as the central source of ALL my music feeds is also great. Good music wherever I go and whatever I'm listening to).
