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.

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. 🙂
