APTX HD

Hi, Once again I turn to your experience for advice.

I am currently streaming Amazon HD/Ultra HD from my cellphone to a Bluetooth receiver that is APTX HD (whatever that means, sorry for my lack of knowledge).

I wonder what I should do to get more from the streaming experience, in terms of sound quality. I hope to avoid cables to the cellphone (Note8) and computers.

I am not unhappy by any means. Just wonder whether an alternative method will reveal a significant improvement.

Thank you!

B.

To avoid confusion, there are no headphones in the mix.

Thanks for clarifying. 

Seems you've basically grasped the concept. Your phone/tablet/computer will be for setup and control. There are desktop apps for MacOS and Windows computers and apps for both Android and iOS, which are quite nice .. not perfect .. but done well.

The only way you'll know if your WiFi signal is good enough is to try it and yes, it does matter. A WiFi extender or mesh router system can fix a WiFi issue if there is one.

My apologies to Melvin, I really thought the OP was discussing headphones.

Thanks but not necessary. Your post was interesting nonetheless. I have an aging Wyred 4 Sound bLINK for my Bluetooth needs and the sound quality is far better than the Node 2’s implementation. As usual, everything matters, even with Bluetooth.
