Hello from Norway. I would very much like to hear (read) your opinion about the LDAC audio codec, in connection with Bluetooth 5.1 on Android. I strongly consider Mark Levinson № 5909, and wonder if these can be "good enough" when streaming via mobile and the LDAC audio codec from, for example, Qobuz.

I don't believe we're getting a lot of experience with the Sony codec.  At least I don't see any discussion on it here in these pages.  So thanks for bringing it up, apparently there's a big difference depending on the settings.  According to reviews, at 990kbps it's pretty close to redbook playback, which should be good enough for most portable uses.  I don't know the practicality of using the different quality settings, if there's downsides to using the higher settings, dropouts, studdering, etc.  Perhaps with your post someone will weigh in.
