For context, LDAC is one of the few wireless audio codecs stamped Hi-Res by the Japan Audio Society and its encoder is open source since Android 8, so you can see just how long Windows is sleeping on this. I’m excited about the incoming next gen called LC3plus, my next pair is definitely gonna have that.

    Apple side-steps the problem by, at least when you’re listening to Apple Music, simply sending the AAC stream as-is to the headphones and has them decode the audio.

    Do they actually though? Everything I can find says that’s just a myth. If it can play multiple things at the same time, they can’t possibly do that.

      they dont. this is a myth. it’s more or less incompatible with how bluetooth works, sure it could be kind of possible, but reliability would be out of the window
