Reply to comment by Velcorn in I think I've finally reached my dream setup (for a few months or so) by Velcorn

I am interested in BTA30 Pro trying to move up the ladder from aptX HD. Have you tried paring with M50xBT2 or XM5s to see how LDAC plays on other than Momentum 4s?

Since the M4s don't support LDAC in the first place. However, I've used it with the Qudelix and the connection + quality has been great for me. Range has been much better than with my phone and worked in every corner of my apartment which isn't particularly big, but considering LDAC at 909 kbps it seems good to me.

So should I get BTA 30 Pro for my desktop set up seems your experience hasn’t been great with it?

Sorry for the late response. Wanted to wait for the optical cable I ordered to see whether that works better than USB. However, when I went to try it, I couldn't reproduce the problem xD

I would say it depends on your use case. If you need/want LDAC, it's completely worth it. If it's just aptx (HD/LL/Adaptive), there might be better and/or cheaper options in the form of some dongles (see comment from another user regarding dongles).

Using the BTA30 pro and Qudelix as well and my experience has been very similar. When connected via LDAC, it's almost always in 660kbps mode (as reported by the Qudelix app), so I'm currently experimenting with Aptx HD instead since it's often reported to use less battery.

edit: should note that my BTA30 pro is connected to a picoreplayer setup in case it's helpful to anyone else.
