Try to enable developer options and search for BT codec settings there.

Tried that. ES100 can use LDAC just fine. With the 5K, nothing I do in developer options sticks. It is almost as if the V60 doesn't recognize that the 5K is capable of LDAC. Basically have been trying different combinations of rebooting V60 and 5K, reinstalling the Qudelix app, unpairing and pairing again in different order. Will try again later tonight.

can you disable all other codecs on the Q5K?

Yup. It defaults to SBC.

Yup. It defaults to SBC.

If you go to Bluetooth settings on your phone to see the listed devices and look for your Qudelix 5K, do you see enable high quality audio toggle switch? I have had to do that on my Galaxy phone to enable LDAC or else it defaults to SBC

Thanks for the hint with AudioHeaven.eu. Ordered mine on Monday on eBay from the dealer and got it today by UPS (in Germany).

Wow fast!

7 days to USA, no import tax, not much delay from customs.

No. I see that on my S9 but not the V60 with the 5K but I see it on both the V60 and S9 with the ES100, which leads me to believe there may be a compatibility issue (tried on two different V60 phones). Wondering if anyone else is using the 5K and V60.

Tbh it sounds like the same problem the guys with the japanese phones were having. I suggest you post on official forums, if it's the same problem i'm sure they can fix it as they fixed it for the japanese phones.

Hmm, what about the "best sound quality" setting like shown in this screenshot?

You probably already checked this but the developer settings have this LDAC option that needs to be enabled:

Also, try disabling EQ and other advanced features on Qudelix and see if it connects with LDAC then.

I ordered from Qudelix in late June with regular delivery to the east coast of the U.S. and received it today. I haven't been able to play with the various codecs, but I'm very impressed so far. I've had the Radsone ES 100 for a little over a year and a half. It still sounds good, but it's developed a lot of quirks that make it almost unuseable. It shuts off spontaneously and not just when there are 2 bluetooth connections nearby. The Qudelix sounds much better: more power and more refined dac chip. Perhaps just as important, it appears to be built much better. I'm happy now, but just as important, I don't think I'll be frustrated with the Qudelix 18 months from now due to build issues.

I agree. I think there is a bug with the implementation that needs to get ironed out. I did post in the official forum and the responded to me with the below link, which was not very helpful and indicated they did not really understand my issue so I posted some screenshots there. Hopefully they can fix it.

The "best sound quality" option is what does not come up on the V60 when used with the Qudelix 5K. It does work when I use the ES100 + V60. I don't use EQ on the 5K or on my phone. Hopefully it is something Qudelix can figure out but it looks like they are swamped (hence their post on the forum directing people to this thread).

Ah okay, sounds like a bug for sure. They seem quick to fix issues so hopefully get it fixed soon for ya.

Could you specify what you meant by "sound wise those two are no match for q5k." Did you mean 5K is a step up as compared to btr5 and 1795?

yea, that’s why i use a dap for comparison.

 

[greyforest]

I had some weird bugs as well

Is there any problem if you don't use full screen mode on the iPad?
