Hi All,
I consider buying the following extremely budget DAC in an attempt to enjoy (if only I manage to looking at its price) SQ due to AptX-HD/LDAC:
Lusya Csr8675 Bluetooth 5.0 Wireless Receiver APTX HD/LDAC PCM5102A DAC Decoding 3.5mm RCA Output 24bit With Antenna|Digital-to-Analog Converter| - AliExpress
They seem to have 2 versions of this device as mentioned in the advert:
- APTX HD support: SBC/AAC/APTX/APTX HD
- LDAC support: SBC/AAC/APTX/LDAC
Could anyone please try explaining why choose? There are lots of CSR8675-equipped DACs out there that claim to support both Aptx-HD and LDAC, so isn't it auto selected by that BT chip itself during codec negotiation with the source? All they say is "they differ by Bluetooth version" and point at a more expensive model that states "support LDAC and APTX HD":
Lusya LDAC Bluetooth 5.0 Wireless Receiver Board PCM5102A/AK4493 DAC Decoder Board APTX HD Support 24BIT With Antenna|Digital-to-Analog Converter| - AliExpress
Could they have implemented codec specific devices in an attempt to make them cheaper than universal ones?
Many thanks in advance!
