Can anyone confirm the codecs supported?
My HTC 11+ supported all, SBC, AAC, aptx, aptx-hd and Ldac.
I know the Nex supports aptx and Ldac but does it support AAC? I"m tempted by the Bose qc35s but not if I"m limited to SBC.
Any assistance appreciated.

Hi
All I can say is that AAC is listed under developer options/bluetooth codecs.
When I am using the Bose Soundsport the chosen codec is the SBC and AptX for the Sennheiser Momentum.
Cheers
Has any of you had the chance to compare Vivo Nex S audio chipset to other great DAC's like for example... The Axon7?
How would you put it, headphone jack plugged, sound wise quality?
Thank you.
Haven't had the opportunity to compare with the axon 7 but have compared to Galaxy Note 9. With the HiFi turned on in the Vivo Nex settings and the adjustting the equalizer settings, the Vivo blows the Note 9 away. (using Bose qc35 plugged in by the way). Also... When using headphones that are plugged in, you have access to more audio settings that are not available when using headphones via Bluetooth.

Thanks, I tested with a friends beats and my 66 Audio BTS and they both used SBC but used AAC on my HTC U11+.
Its a pity.

I'd put it comparable with the Axon 7 but behind the LG G6's quad dac.

hey! is the aptx codec enabled automatically on the htc one s? ie. it will automatically choose aptx when the receiving device supports it? cheers, thomas
I've tried to test this myself at a friends house with some ZiiSound D5X speakers, and subjectively there was a bit better audio quality compared to an A2DP-only HTC Desire. Hard to tell though might be Beats "improvements" that we heard rather than any difference due to Apt-X. Is there a way to even see when Apt-X is active?
I ask as I used to use a Fiio E7 with my iPhone 4 before switching to my current S4 (the amp is now being used as my laptop DAC and with my iPod classic).
Was wondering with my S4, is a headphone amp needed?
Currently using Poweramp to listen to music and my listening gear consists mainly of closed back, wired headphones (e.g. Sennheiser Amperior, Ultrasone Edition 8s etc).
Thanks for any insight! :thumbup:

required? no.
will it make your music sound better? yes
The amp will make the sound louder and maybe will lower the quality. For better sound quality you will need an DAC.

pretty much all portable amps these days comes with a dac.
Headphone? No.
Earphones? Maybe.
I have the Sony XBA2 and it would start crackling at 10/15 volume when the bass hits. The FiiO E17 solved that.
This is the one you want...

Has anyone used any Bluetooth 5 or aptX HD bluetooth head phones with this device yet? I am needing some in ear bluetooth headphones but not really seeing anything on either of these two now that they are available/enabled on our devices. I know there are not really many options yet but curious if there are any early adopters that can give some insight
Anyone have any reviews? Looking for good audio quality but really not wanting to spend money if there really isnt much improvement.
8.1 (I think) brought aptX HD compatibility. I have a bluetooth headset that connects with aptX HD and it works fine.

8.1 has aptX for sure. Don't have aptX HD headphones, but pretty sure it works too! I got Major II headphones (aptX) and the sound is great if you ask me.
/\ Interesting, thanks for the screen grabs. I didnt realize LDAC was available on non-sony devices. I may have to include them in my headphone search.
My Sony WH-1000XM2 work mighty fine with LDAC on the PH-1.

glad to hear that, ill be checking out some of their in ear versions. I want something i can be a bit more active in vs full on/over ear but happy to have another higher quality option to look into
Apt X HD isn't a brand new codec like some people here seem to think but it's more widely supported on Android Oreo. I have used Bluetooth headphones on this phone with Apt X, Apt X HD and SBC. The Bluetooth version the headphones use is more important than the codec. Bluetooth headphones with Apt X and BT 4.1 are far preferable to ones with Apt X HD and BT 4.0. Don't buy any BT 4.0 headphones even if they seem like a fantastic deal or they get great reviews. BT 4.1 transmits data far more quickly than 4.0 and is much better suited for listening to music. BT 4.0 is also susceptible to interference from the phone's data signal and other sources. That's much less of an issue with 4.1.

Well so far these sound the most interesting, bluetooth 4.1 but they support all of these formats: SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD, LDAC
Would let me play around and listen for which sound best to my ears
I just got the EarStudio ES100 which has dual DACs and supports AptX HD so you can use any of your favorite wired phones with it. If you want don't need the dual DACs, there's plenty of AptX HD receivers on Amazon as well.
LG Tone Platinum HBS-1100 support APTX-HD. They have been working great for me. 10 hour battery life and great sound quality.
I recently paid for the full premium Tidal streaming music service. I did this to get the best audio quality with their lossless HiFi bitrate. I'm thinking I may not even be getting the benefits of the higher bitrate because of the hardware and how I'm using it. I am using it on my S9 plus but exclusively using it with bluetooth. Bluetooth into my car stereo and bluetooth into my Anker Liberty Air earbuds. The earbuds only support basic codec as well.
My question is am I receiving any benefit from the HiFi bitrate ($19.99!) since I'm only using it with bluetooth with car/earbuds. Would say youtube audio give me the same sound ($9.99)
Thanks
Sorry added here as not possible on the Real Life Review thread.
I'm using Hi Res audio files from Qobuz and Amazon HD and using Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro headphones. My bebchmark is my HI FI system which is streamer, amplification and speakers over £5k in value and I am blown away by the V60 Quad DAC.
Great bass control smooth sound and reasonable sound stage depth. Can follow each instrument.
Tracks tested with Van Morrison Moon Dance 24 bit / 96 kHz. And Emmylou Harris Wayfaring Stanger CD quality.
Agreed. This phone hits all the important notes for audiophiles.

I'm disappointed. Stupid Amazon app doesn't support or recognize Android DACs USB or internal. So all Hi Rez is resampled to 48khz.

Agreed, that is disappointing. But works fine with Qobuz. I assume Tidal would also be okay.

Well of course it works with Tidal. LG has a strategic partnership with Tidal and the creators / founders of MQA (Tidals preferred HiRez format) which currently can only be streamed on Tidal.

The issue was that Amazon HD does not recognise the DAC and I can't test Tidal therefore I made the point that Tidal will likely detect the Quad DAC.
