Damn, just for fun I tried the DCA Aeon 2's on the k5, it sounds good, so IEM DD + BA tick, Planar Tick, also the sen 660s sound good. Liking this little thing :)

Ldac at high performance hasn't stuttered once for me with Qudelix on Performance mode and set highest performance LDAC on the phone's Developer Options.

Modern Bluetooth chip is worth it. Even if it doesn't have Aptx-LL.

Which phone or media player do you have ? If I use the AK sr25 it works for me too, but using the Samsung S20 Ultra has issues.

The qcc chipset apparently has the processing power to decode MQA, but qudelix just couldn't command enough attention/interest from MQA to get the necessary codes. Qudelix have expressed willingness to bring that feature in future, so crossing my fingers. We need more users to make it happen

Nice Phone, just tested with a Samsung s9 and it works fine, must be something with the S20's.

I also have LDAC 990 issues (don't own the Q5, but had issues with other Bluetooth devices) with my Samsung S10+. Turning off locations eliminates stutter for me.

If this article is right then not supporting adaptive LL doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me.

Yes, but problem is that barely any devices supports aptx adaptive and there's not a single Bluetooth usb adapter with that codex.

Qualcomm really dropped the ball....

I guess I'll just have to wait for LC3 plus codex, unlike Qualcomms crap it will be open source.

If LC3 is a must for you, you can probably cross 5K off the list as even the QCC chip it used doesn't support BT5.2 (which is needed for LC3).

It's not a must if APXT Adaptive was more widely adopted :) And I'm fully aware that there's no product on the market that supports it atm. That's why I'm not sure if I should settle for this until there's more development.

I'm not blaming Qudelix, it's all on Qualcomm.

I don't think you read the article :D

I did, and what's your point? It's a 1.5 year old article.

2 years after APTX adaptive launch there's a total of 24 devices that supports it, 14 if you exclude the receivers (headphones, 5K BT dac etc) and not a single transmitter besides a few phones.
