From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.
Is the APTX-HD latency good enough for gaming? (And can be used for VoIP?).
I don't know much about BT... But I know that my Pixel buds series A, have terrible latency for gaming unless I use them in headset mode (which then has terrible quality).
In isolation aptx-hd when operating in aptx-ll mode is low enough latency that it can be used for gaming, however it's very rare that standard bluetooth headphones will be low enough latency, at the very least I haven't personally tested any devices that fit the bill when operating in aptx-hd. Im sure some bluetooth headphones will be able to, but none that i've come across. LC3Plus might actually be able to change this. IMO running a bluetooth dac is much more likely to get there.
Thanks for the insight!
