Is the BTA30 still the only option out there? My main source is a P6 Pro dap that sounds noticably better on BT from my phone (resampling and all) than it does over usb from my PC (I suspect because of the noise from the PC tbh). Is the BTA30 with its optical/coax only (if you want BT transmit) my only option?

Ideally I would love an all in one streamer with LDAC transmitter if that exists. No real budget in mind, so say, 1k usd?

Far as I know there is no LDAC driver support in Windows. This means likely the best way to get that is SPDIF optical (no electrical connection) to a BT LDAC transmitter) aaaand here we go:

Yup. This is the BTA30 that I was speaking about. I wasnt sure if there were any other options. As for optical out, tbh, I'll probably just do api2aes into it by coax seeing as optical sound cards are seemingly a massive PITA to source now-a-days. I would just much rather have an all in one box if possible

It's not worth the hassle, you'll most likely have some major audio latency as well since W10 doesn't support LDAC.

We'll just have to wait for LC3plus codec :)

I mean, my other option is a streamer which will also give me latency but keep me tethered as well. Thr latency doesn't bug me if it works in general as advertised. Also, no real hope my dap will be updated for new codecs. They are kind of on a shoestring staff as is
