Better Bluetooth output codec support…(?)

[rarewolf]

I just tried my WiiM Pro’s output Bt connection with my new Sennheiser HDB630 headphones. It worked well but left a bit disappointed. With the better Bt headphones hitting the market I wonder if WiiM is considering upgrading the Bt codec support for outputting better quality Bt to headphones than deserve better than SBC(?) Admittedly, aptX Adaptive/Lossless would be best, but I‘d settle for aptX HD or Adaptive.

I also imagine it would require more than a firmware update. If you can add better Bt support for the Pro Plus I’ll upgrade,

I think you'll probably have to consider adding an external bluetooth transmitter to your pro.
On the plus side (no pun intended, not the pro plus) sales are just around the corner and you'll also be able to apply EQ to the output.

When you say “sales are just around the corner”, did you have a specific Bt xmitter in mind?

The WiiM’s coax is in use right now. I imagine the Bt xmitter would be connected to optical, and that I’d only need to switch between coax<>opt, or are both SPDIF outs live?

The reasonI asked initially is that I'd really like to connect to my headphone stack via USB, but wanted to poke the forum here about better Bt before spending $$ on the currently available WiiM Pro+…
