aptX HD is one of the greatest things happened with Android ecosystem. One day I just bought a cheap BT-receiver with aptX HD support and optical output and connected it to my old-fashioned music system (receiver + amp + floorstanding speakers connected by wires). The music quality became so much better compared to 3.5mm jack and I can listen all the music from the internet in my room with decent result.
- Melatonic 4y agoAre you sure about that? I thought a good 3.5mm connection would be miles better (assuming the source device has a decent DAC) The real secret in my opinion though is the old Chromecast Audio. It has no microphone and is super tiny and only has a 3.5mm output (DAC is not amazing but also not bad). But the best kept secret is that the 3.5mm also can act as a mini TOSLINK (optical). I have mine connected to an old (but still very high quality) Yamaha receiver via mini toslink to regular toslink cable and set the quality to the highest settings. Music sounds amazing with full 5.1 channel large speakers. And I have a second chromecast audio in a different room that is in a "group" with the first which allows you to perfectly sync music in both rooms (basically ghetto Sonos). Goodluck doing that with bluetooth. Best part is though that once you start the stream you can turn your phone off (or whatever device that started it) because the chromecast audio then goes directly to the internet. Nothing is actually streaming from the phone anymore.
