Reply to comment by flyingpickkles in Just pulled the plug on Focal Bathys. Good idea? by [deleted]

i don't have a very scientific way to describe it, but i also have a fold 4 and it's not lossless. it just says aptx. however, i can say with 100% certainty that the bathys sounds better over aptx compared to my wife's iphone12 pro over aac. just sounds like seeing the sun through the clouds if that makes any sense lol.

I have to agree. Still figuring out the Bathys.
Sounds "OK" ok the iPhone 14 Pro Max but sounds more "ALIVE" on the Sony Xperia 1 IV. Its perhaps a debate of AAC vs aptX Adaptive in my case.

Playing around with the DAC at the moment and getting some very strange results which warrants more investigation. Tidal streaming from PC vs Sony Xperia yields very audible differences. Spoiler, the mobile phone produces more details... weird.
