the android device I might buy with the audio format I usually listen to.
Some of my flacs are way over 3 mbps (up to 6 mbps). The bluetooth on my desktop supports speeds up to 1 mbps. If the pixel is going to support similar rates, I don’t see how this is going work.
ETA: Im still going to nuke the device and install graphene or lineage on it. Do both foss support higher rates?
If you care about audio quality, there isn’t anything better than wired earphones + DAC, in ears monitors are pretty good, or if you want something better I would go for a pair of professional headphones.
