I read the specification for the Asus Transformer Book T100TA. The Bluetooth spec says, "Built-in Bluetooth™ V4.0". There's no mention of the Apt-X CODEC. My guess is that they didn't install the CSR Harmony drivers for the built-in BT chip. Nevertheless, the Bluetooth A2DP streaming performance may be very good, as it is with my Microsoft Surface Pro 2. The quickest way to check the audio performance on your Transformer Book is by playing a video of someone singing or talking and look to see if the lips are synched. Even with Apt-X there will be approximately 25-30 msec delay, but most people would agree this is pretty good.

I have one of these Azio USB Micro Bluetooth Adapters V4.0 EDR and aptX (BTD-V401) myself. It works with my Surface Pro 2, if I disable the built-in Microsoft Win 8.1 BT driver before I plug in the Azio dongle. You can re-enable your Windows BT driver if you need it for your mouse, after you see that CSR Apt-X is running (there will be a Bluetooth symbol in your system tray which says CSR).
A Tip: If you have trouble installing the CSR Harmony software that comes with Azio dongle, go to their website and read the note on Microsoft .NET Framework for your version of Windows. According to MS tech support, you can have .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.0 running simultaneously for Win 7 or 8.1.
Generally speaking, the fidelity and lip-synch with CSR's Apt-X codec will be very close to what your hear and see with wired headphones.
