Fanus As I understand the thing wifi is lossless streaming. With Bluetooth the data has to be compressed in order to allow it to be streamed across Bluetooth. This means that you lose sound quality as you have already mentioned you experienced. This is not the case with wifi as I understand it.
For example: if you take a song in .wav format which is lossless and the same song in mp3 format which is in compressed form, you will see that the file size differs substantially. The less compressed it is the larger the size. The same thing during transmission. -----Original Message----- From: Pc-audio [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Fanus Sent: 22 April 2015 12:17 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: lossless streaming via bluetooth So, if I plug one end of a cable into my iPhone's headphone sock and the other end into my hifi's aux input, that will be lossless and when I stream with my Express it will be digital? is the difference then analog versus digital? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dane Trethowan" <[email protected]> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2015 10:31 AM Subject: Re: lossless streaming via bluetooth > To put it bluntly, think of Lossless Streaming as if you had two devices > each connected by a good quality physical audio/video cable or cables. > > > > On 22/04/2015 6:28 PM, Fanus wrote: >> Hello Dane and list >> Well, let me disclose my ignorance: what is meant by lossless? >> Regards >> Fanus >> >> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dane Trethowan" >> <[email protected]> >> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <[email protected]> >> Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2015 10:16 AM >> Subject: Re: lossless streaming via bluetooth >> >> >>> You have to get Bluetooth adapters and receivers that are capable of >>> Lossless Bluetooth streaming and most are not. >>> >>> Its pretty hit and miss when you're talking about streaming via >>> Bluetooth when the devices are in different rooms. >>> >>> And finally, the iPhone is not capable of streaming Lossless Bluetooth, >>> a lot of the newer Android phones are capable of doing this and they >>> include the >>> Samsung Note4, S6 etc, that's why a lot of mobile phones use either DLNA >>> or AirPlay depending on your choice of phone, the streaming is lossless >>> and it can be done over longer distances though granted usually you have >>> to have a Wi-Fi network as your foundation when doing this.. >>> >>> >>> >>> On 22/04/2015 4:10 PM, André van Deventer wrote: >>>> Hi all >>>> >>>> Changed the subject line but to some extent it is still related to the >>>> lossless streaming of music. >>>> >>>> >>>> Is it at all viable to use Bluetooth to stream lossless music from two >>>> rooms situated next to each other. >>>> >>>> >>>> This might also be an option for me to use. >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> Unfortuantely my situation is a bit more complicated than usual.
