Possibly. That's the route Sony went with LDAC, which goes up to 990kbps.[0] It still isn't proper Hi-Res and won't be enough for Apple's Hi-Res Lossless, but

It still isn't proper Hi-Res and won't be enough for Apple's Hi-Res Lossless, but it's a lot better than standard BT audio.

- rasz 5y ago>Hi-Res heh, audiophool market is so incredibly stupid. Wooden knobs, extra special power cables, and now audio recordings for Bats. All you gain as a human are aliasing artifacts.
- adrusi 5y agoSony's headphones do digital signal processing of the incoming signal. For instance, there's a user adjustable equalizer. This happens in the headphones themselves, rather than on the device they're connected to. This stuff does truly benefit from a higher bitrate.
- rasz 5y agoHow do you benefit from the recorded signal in bands humans are unable to hear?
- smoldesu 5y agoThat's not how audio codecs encode audio though. If we directly cut off bands that were difficult to encode, most codecs would stop writing anything above 1500hz, and then you'd be listening to a useless mumbled mess. A lossy audio codec will use the FFT algorithm to encode the entire spectrum, and the quality controls how aggressive the algorithm quantizes the waveform (through a process called sampling). On a lossless file, the compression will decode to an identical representation of the original master.
- rasz 5y ago>If we directly cut off bands that were difficult to encode not difficult to encode, inaudible to humans >entire spectrum oh boy, so why does Hi-Res stop at 192KHz? clearly its not the entire spectrum. We should be encoding at least to couple MHz, right? more better!
- goalieca 5y agoHehe. You jest but MHz is the range of ultrasound and is pretty useless in air.
- cush 5y agoIt makes sense that creative license is taken in the engineering of electronics targeted at people who love the art of music. Wooden knobs are fun. People like things that are fun. Chill out.

Here is a test for all you Silver Rock owners. Try removing the bakelite knobs and listen. You will be shocked by this! The signature knobs will have an even greater effect…really amazing! The point here is the micro vibrations created by the volume pots and knobs find their way into the delicate signal path and cause degradation (Bad vibrations equal bad sound). With the signature knobs micro vibrations from the C37 concept of wood, bronze and the lacquer itself compensate for the volume pots and provide (Good Vibrations) our ear/brain combination like to hear…way better sound!!"

- dTal 5y agoCare to explain how increased sampling rate can possibly cause aliasing artifacts of all things?
