Still sounded darn good even if it was only 600kbps. But if the FW5 can do 900kbps all the betterSomething you need to consider: the UTWS5 is capped at max 600kbps LHDC. That's what it'll negotiate with the Tx device. The FW5 on the other hand gets the full 900kbps.
If only Neutron got something similar to a BT encoder with its 64bit engine.. Ah wishful thinking
would.love it of the Neutron player did that BTW. It would awesome!

Just looked new phones and damned if everyone is not dropping SD cards, so stupid. Might be sticking with my S20 for another year and saving for something I buy out right that supports what I want versus the run of the mill stuff offered by cell providers. I want SD, possibly snap dragon, hopefully LHDC, LDAC, and APTx latest whatever... LOL might have to start to look in the phone section of head-fi to see what's what...

Using Oppo Reno 8 Lite and just discovered it has LDAC thanks to your above post. It's not a superstar phone by any means but I picked it specifically because I download all my music from Bandcamp in FLAC and needed the SD card space (Which i've been told you can't get in flagships anymore) as well as a 3.5mm which I actually hardly use but will continue demanding as a principle. Was editing a video on my phone the other day and just can't cut/edit things accurately with TWS latency, tried every bud I have, wires seem absolutely essential for this and considering so many phones advertise their camera and editing ability the whole thing is just ridiculous .... but now I'm starting to sound like MelodyMood.
I ordered mine last night through Hifigo who advertised priority shipping at the same time frame as Alixpress express shipping. First time using Hifigo though so hoping for the best.
Looking forward to your comments on the FW5 compared to the GBudsP 2, almost got those because of your recommendations but before I knew it you were having a ball with JBL and I couldn't keep up

LOL, I like the JBL tuning. But do find their controls finicky and do notice the detail is a bit lacking. Glad I gave them a try though. But I am going to sell off everything in that one picture. Just way to many TWS.Using Oppo Reno 8 Lite and just discovered it has LDAC thanks to your above post.

OK, I took the Interstellar song and played it using LDAC on the L3P using the default setting which is likely 330kbps and it sounded similar to the UTWS5 running APTx with the bass of the organ being very similar. I then fussed around in developer mode until I could get it to switch down to the 44.1kHz, 24bit, and using 606kbps and it then sounded close to LHDC on the UTWS5 minus the level of detail the FH5 provides compared to the L3P. So LDAC compares close to LHDC but requires a lot of fussing to get it to play nice.
But the UTWS5/FH5 is leaps ahead of the L3P and the GB2P for details and musical ability (tested same song on GB2P which should have used 24bit audio). So if they have made the FW5 sound even better than the UTWS5 combo I have, I will be darn happy.

Just go for it. Just do it
Btw, how do you compare the sound of the 1000t to other top dogs like the Ex, and the Fokus?
Sony still offers its flagships with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 along a microSD and 3.5mm.

Do you mean they don't go loud enough for you? If so, did you max out volume (repeatedly tap left earphone 3 times) on the earphones?
Just asking, because these are probably my loudest TWS, with a heft almost like full-sized headphones.
You can just adjust the volume by the phone anyway so it does not really matter

“Pricing ranges from $2,500 - $5,000”?
Don’t imagine too many will be queuing up for these ..
And it’s not even April fools...

Whenever I see women with LV or Goyard veritable plastic canvas purses, that we know cost 2.000 to 3.000 bucks I feel sooo much better with my audio, sneaker, gadget purchases at a fraction of the price. And that’s tech, leather, pleasure against a logo you show other people on the street.
Hi, may I ask how would you rate this FW1000T compare to ATH TWX-9? or your other TWS like B&O EX.
