With the Qudelix 5k, you can see what the current transfer rate is for LDAC, before I used to use 600 like you because no matter how close I was with the bluemini I would have constant dropouts. I switched to adaptive on the 5k and in watching what rate is sent to the 5k with adaptive on from a Fiio BTA30, I get between 600-900+ at my desk about 10-15 feet from the BTA30 Transmitter depending on either wifi fluctuations or my head movement etc. I agree that when it drops to 300ish it loses fidelity in various ways, but I've found I prefer Adaptive since it seems to seamlessly switch between 900 and 600 without any obvious artifacts or dropouts. I've been unable to find information defining whether adaptive at 900 is the same as just picking 900, or 600 either, not sure how much overhead there is in having it 'smart'.
On the bluemini I pretty much maxed out at 600, since I couldn't pick the 900 setting without constant dropouts/glitches, its part of why I grabbed the 5k to test.
As a secondary side note, I can sit in my outdoor screenroom about 40 feet or so from the transmitter through a wall/glass door. The signal goes down to 300 or so but it still doesn't break up, and I can walk into my woods before it becomes super droppy but doesn't disconnect and that is about 100ft from the transmitter.
Strangely on the blumini connected to my old 1Mii B03Pro+ using aptx HD, I could go out to my screen room with a bit of a chance for a glitch every min or so, but on the BTA30, its unusable on aptx HD, which makes me think the BTA30's antenna is not as strong as the 1Mii B03Pro+, but in LDAC mode which usually has worse range than aptx HD for me previously, it goes much much further than anything on 1Mii B03Pro+ and further (On adaptive LDAC) than aptx HD from the BTA30
