APTX HD

Perhaps I should add that the receiver is attached to the amplifier (IOTAVX SA3 & PA3) and LRS speakers.

Hello again and thanks for the replies.

To avoid confusion, there are no headphones in the mix.

I am starting to understand that I can remain wireless, just over WiFi rather than Bluetooth by adding a Bluesound. 

So let me see if I envision this correctly. I cable a Bluesound to my amplifier. Then wirelessly connect it to the WiFi and as the cellphone also connects to WiFi I make a connection to Bluesound from cellphone. 

Bluesound substitutes the APTX device.

Does the quality of the WiFi matter?

The house is not huge but it long and wifi is in the heart of the house and HiFi is at one end. 5Ghz signal is useless and the 4Ghz is okay.

Cabling would be a headache. Maybe Bluesound has great antenna or can add one?

Thank you melvinjames 

I guess a combination of things, skill, knowledge, deaf ears due to age.

I honestly find it hard to distinguish between Spotify 320 kbps, Amazon 24/192 which on paper is a world of difference one being below CD quality and the other way better than CD.

And hard to tell difference of both services between APTXHD (24/48) and WiFi Bluenode 2i that purportedly transmits the full 24/192.

What am I missing?

PS I think those are correct numbers for the services. Errors and Omissions Excepted. 🙂 

Thanks
