APTX HD

Hi, Once again I turn to your experience for advice.

I am currently streaming Amazon HD/Ultra HD from my cellphone to a Bluetooth receiver that is APTX HD (whatever that means, sorry for my lack of knowledge).

I wonder what I should do to get more from the streaming experience, in terms of sound quality. I hope to avoid cables to the cellphone (Note8) and computers.

I am not unhappy by any means. Just wonder whether an alternative method will reveal a significant improvement.

Thank you!

My apologies to Melvin, I really thought the OP was discussing headphones.

Thanks but not necessary. Your post was interesting nonetheless. I have an aging Wyred 4 Sound bLINK for my Bluetooth needs and the sound quality is far better than the Node 2’s implementation. As usual, everything matters, even with Bluetooth.

My bluetooth receiver took a while to start sounding good, i use it battery operated using Tidal and my phones mobile data:

After further experimentation I've gone back to the AAC setting. The sound via Aptx hd lacks fluidtity, Anyone else agree?

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. 🙂
