I have an ProStereo H2 by i.tech. RBH rebranded them for other markets. It supports APTX HD and LDAC. It your not familiar with the different codecs and their bandwidth here's a good explanation.

AAC: 250 kbps
SBC: 328 kbps
aptX: 352 kbps
aptX HD: 576 kbps
LDAC: 990 kbps
I tested this by using the new options in the Developer options. There is a marked difference in what I hear as I step up the ladder for bandwidth. LDAC is markedly better in comparison to APTX HD (which the ProStereo H2 supports). I realize the choices out there for devices that support LDAC is limited but now the Sony management, that severely proscribed their tech to only work on Sony products has finally died, we should start seeing more non-Sony products use their tech.
If you are a fan of stereo bluetooth then this should make you excited for the future. The Quad Dac would never work with any of the streaming services but now you will get to listen to a bit better. For the smarter, amongst us, who use files on the SD Card, you can rejoice, your FLAC's will flower with 990 kbps, whenever you get a device that supports LDAC.
I am eyeing the new Sony WH-1000XM3 as it will drive down the price of any WH-1000XM2's out there.
Please feel free to ask questions as I have been a stereo bluetooth fan since the IO Gear Blutake ,in 2005, and have had at least 40 different bluetooth devices, over the last 14 years.
