Hi
I said I would do that didn't I? Sorry keep meaning to try it
I'll try tomorrow but i think there will be sync issues as my 2017/8 LG B7 Oled only supports SBC (from what I've read anyway)
I will try though
Thanks!

I have a Fiio BTR7, CEntrance M8ll, Dethonray Pegasus SG1 all connecting to TV via SBC with zero lag, so I hope it works!

H7 seems to have an issue with its USB driver as when I try to download it from the Shanling link Microsoft identifies it as having a virus and will not download. Has anyone else experienced this ?

Thank you.

Where does it say it's a virus, I can't see that in the picture?

Microsoft will always warn about unsigned drivers but there should be an "install it anyway" option.

Press "Download anyway", unzip it and run the setup file.

I just installed it I don't even own an H7 yet. :) and it all seems OK on my Win11 PC.

I wonder how it would be with an iPhone, AAC?
Most of ppl are listening To LDAC that is set on lowest bitrate by default anyway. And its not far off aac..

660kbps makes a noticeable difference, and feels more dynamics and spacious. But biggest difference is felt on 990kbps. Unfortunately it struggles to maintain a reliable connection at that bitrate.
Might as well be a phone problem as i tried it on several new android phones with same results. And its the same thing with Gryphon..
Probably the reason why the LDAC bitrate settings are hidden in dev options...

Not really relevant, the question was asking about AAC on iPhone, Apple doesn't support LDAC.

What i was saying that Default LDAC is 330kpbs, so isnt the great yet it sound fairly good.
AAC is 128kbps, yes its even more crap. But it might not be thst bad depends on what youre upgrading from.

From a bit of research I've done on Google AAC on iPhone is 240kbps so a little better than 128Kbps. As AAC is more efficient with the bits than MP3, AAC @ 240kbps is better than MP3 @ 320Kbps.

There is mixed opinion on this

Some say AAC is only better than MP3 at lower bit rates, others say differently.
Doesn't seem to be a definitive scientific answer to this

BT codecs are not audio formats.

If H7 doesnt support aptX. And apple doesnt do LDAC what are you left with SBC?
I’m confused why they went with so few codecs.
