There doesn't seem to be enough bandwidth, not even with BT 5.0's 2 Mbps LE 2M which just barely ekes out 1400 kbps after accounting for protocol overhead, just below CD audio's 1411 kbps data rate for 2-channel 16 bit 44.1 kHz LPCM. https://www.novelbits.io/bluetooth-5-speed-maximum-throughput/ https://www.novelbits.io/bluetooth-5-speed-maximum-throughpu... Unless ALAC can consistently keep the data rate below 1400 kbps, I don't see how it's possible to have lossless audio over today's BT standards. And keep in mind that CD-quality is the lowest tier of Apple's new offering. Apple filed a patent a few years ago for something called "high data rate" (HDR) that's capable of 8 Mbps. Maybe something will come of that eventually. https://www.freepatentsonline.com/y2019/0104424.html https://www.freepatentsonline.com/y2019/0104424.html
