The only truly, audibly lousy Bluetooth codec is low-bitrate SBC. Anything better than that is going to be transparent to most ears.
The awfulness of cheap/low-power DACs, on the other hand, knows no limit.
- brnt 2y agoThere is going to be a DAC somewhere, and somehow putting it in the headphones doesn't speak for quality. Power budget, if nothing else.
