discovered LDAC audio codec support with iPlay 60 mini Pro

Hi guys!

Thankfully, to my delight, I just discovered the new 8.4″ iPlay 60 mini Pro to support Bluetooth LDAC audio codec! Which with the older iPlay 50 mini it was not the case (limited to SBC then).
Three questions, maybe someone could answer:

1. What maximum LDAC bit rate is supported by the tablet: 330 kbit/sec, 660 kbit/sec or 990 kbit/sec (so-called MQ, SQ or HQ mode according to LDAC specs)?
2. I am going to replace one more older tablet, one with a larger screen… Which of the latest models to feature LDAC support, too? At least the iPlay 60 Pad Pro? What about the iPlay 60 in that regard?
3. Maybe you could add that “audio codec” information to the spec sheet of each model. – For audio folks like me that’s of interest in general…

Sorry i can’t answer you questions, but maybe you can help me.

Can you please tell what other bluetooth codecs the iplay 60 mini pro supports? (Codecs are listed undet dev settings).

I asked alldocube and they said that it supports only LDAC.

If this is true then the bluetooth on this tablet is completely useless, because LDAC is SONY’s licenced codec and not many recieving devices support it.

I can see 3 options of LDAC in Developer option in my 60 mini turbo.
Why don’t you check yourself in your specific devices?

Because i don’t have this tablet.

I was thinking about buying this to use it as a music player and connect it to my amplifier (my amplifier supports aac and aptx).

It took me quite some time to figure everything out as it required me to force the tablet into different modes of BT codec operation, but here it comes:

AAC supported

SBC supported

aptX (any) not supported

as well as LDAC supported, as I quoted intitially.

Still no idea about the “TURBO” Version of the tablet, powered by Snapdragon…

Is it an older amplifier with basic aptX only, not featuring “HD” with at least 24 bit of depth capability at 48 kHz?
When it comes to AAC, with the iPlay 60 mini Pro in use, I can’t tell about the actual AAC depth and frequency maintained while transmitting, unfortunately since it’s not indicated in my headphones app.
LDAC while at 990 kbit and 24 bit still is the only full range – low distortion codec available. Yes, it’s proprietary, for sure. Here’s the comparison I’m relying on:

Thank you for the information. Good to know it has atleast AAC.

My preamp is about a year old (Emotiva PT2) and it supports both AptX and AptX HD, and also AAC.
