The latest gen is pretty decent, and I bought two such transmitters last year. I have bought three generations of AptX HD BT transmitter, starting with the first gen where the build quality and reliability was somewhat poor. The availability of Bluetooth transmitters providing AptX HD or better codecs unfortunately remains limited, even though several high quality AptX HD and LDAC BT receivers are available. I guess most people stream from their phones via BT with SBC codec to a BT receiver in their music system, such as in the D50s, and don't worry about or know about getting AptX HD quality. So you will have to use an external BT transmitter with your laptop.

The newer Qualcomm QCC5100 series chips also support AptX HD while consuming less power, but only as receivers per my understanding. My understanding is that to get AptX HD BT transmission, the computer or device needs a Qualcomm CSR8675 chip onboard. I was surprised that Win 10 does support AptX, according to the Helge Klein blog that Vincent Kars linked to (though not the LL or HD versions). Your Windows 10 Pro laptop is unlikely to provide AptX HD BT transmission unless it specifically lists that capability. Its USB 2.0 port if any is likely for charging only. ' Do you mean USB instead of Bluetooth and BT? In any case, I believe that Avantree model does not support AptX HD, and I am skeptical it would accept a USB PCM input. My high-end Windows 10 Pro laptop has only BT 3.1. compatible with Bluetooth 2.0 but not to play well BT 3.1. Is there any way to tell, once a Bluetooth connection is established between PC and D50s, which Codec is being used (without shelling out for an expensive dongle)? - JClarkW (I haven't actually tried it yet.)ģ) There is at least one Bluetooth dongle for PCs to send aptX HD (Avantree BTDG-60 tells you via cryptic flashing lights which Codec is in use), but I don't want to spend the money if I don't need to.Ĥ) I understand that I can connect the PC to the D50s via USB (computer has USB 3.1 and 'Thunderbolt 3' - USB-C), but there are times when that isn't convenient. This question is about which Codec is in use for Bluetooth input from a PC:ġ) My high-end Windows 10 Pro laptop (up to date) says it has Bluetooth 5.0, but nothing I can find (even on the Lenovo and Microsoft forums) tells me whether the driver is capable of aptX HD.Ģ) The D50s (when set to Bluetooth input) does not appear to tell you which of the various Codecs is being used. I just received a D50s, and it's working well with coax input from a Node 2 (which does not have Bluetooth aptX HD capability).
