What is LDAC?

LDAC is an audio coding technology developed by Sony that enables the transmission of High-Resolution (Hi-Res) Audio content,

even over a BLUETOOTH connection. Unlike other BLUETOOTH compatible coding technologies such as SBC, it operates
without any downconversion of the Hi-Res Audio content

*1

, and allows approximately three times more data

*2

than those other

technologies to be transmitted over a BLUETOOTH wireless network with unprecedented sound quality, by means of efficient

coding and optimized packetization.

Note

Depending on the network environment, there may be an interruption at the high bitrate transmission.

in comparison with SBC (Subband Coding) when the bitrate of 990 kbps (96/48 kHz) or 909 kbps (88.2/44.1 kHz) is selected
