Is this exclusively to be used with a phone app or something?
My main use will be for TV and HTPC so some built-in functionality like codec type would be useful.
It might be soon to ask but I'd like to better be safe than sorry before the kickstarter campaign.

The app will allow you to customize different setting - but you like any BT adapter, you don't need to use the app to use the BT adapter itself (which will leave it with its default setting). Of course you can also change the setting once and leave it as it is. It will remember the changed setting after restart.

Your TV / HTPC will determine what codec it will use (most likely just SBC), the BT adapter itself usually doesn't determine what codec to use (unless you disable certain codec on the BT adapter, though you can't disable SBC).

Yes, I will pair it with a BT Tx, hopefully with aptx adaptive if they sell this year.

Remeber your BT Tx needs to support aptX Adaptive as well.

Can this work as a transmitter too? Like, I have APTX-HD & LDAC cans but no transmission sources. It would be sick if I could usb into my computer and do wireless hi(ish) res

No difficulty points, but I agree, it had to be done.

I’m feeling really good about the 5K at this point - one of a very few things I’m hopeful about right now. The app looks slick and informative, the PCB seems solid and clean (not that I know anything about engineering, it’s just obvious when the electronics is well spaced and organized).

I’m tempted by many competitors, be it the newer BT receivers from Fiio and Shanling or small DAPs that support LDAC sink function like the new Hidisz AP80 Pro, etc. But I keep forcing myself to close those tabs because I have a strong belief the 5K is the most interesting wireless thing on the horizon right now. That and the Nuraloop, which I should be getting within the next few weeks.

I also postpone switching phones because too few support aptX adaptive and that’s such a precious feature of the 5K.

Last but not least, because of how structured, competent and open Qudelix appear to me, I just find their product appealing because the brand appeals to me. Good job there, getting me to like a brand before it’s even released its first product!
