We are literally already streaming 990kbps LDAC without any of the disastrous power usage implications you are referring to. It's not that much of a stretch to stream 1411kbps instead for true lossless 16/44. I mean, it's 2019 and we're throwing gigabits over WiFi and cellular, surely Bluetooth can be scaled up just a little more.That means that the moment you start to stream app 1Mbps,
The main concern regarding power is the codec used. This is why, say, FLAC can't be used and all of the Bluetooth codecs besides AAC are not psychoacoustic. But uncompressed audio doesn't exactly need much decoding so that isn't an issue. It's just a question of how consistently and at what range the Bluetooth implementation will be able to hit 1.4mbps+overhead, since there won't be any dynamic bitrate adjustment possible.
