Topping BC3 Review (Bluetooth Receiver) & BT CODECs

[staticV3]

As far as I can see BC3 is discontinued. Could anyone recommend a few alternatives ? I need aptx/ldac support, bt 5.0+, digital outputs. dac is optional

I own the BEA1 and its SPDIF output performs and measures flawlessly.
I have yet to test the aptX Lossless capability though.

This is just a Bluetooth receiver to digital SPDIF output converter. This don´t look like a portable battery powered DAC and headphone amp like BC3. This looks more like a USB-powered desktop device.

it seems fine to me. As I need to receive bluetooth with aptx/apthd/ldac and pass it as is via digital output to KEF LS50 Wireless II

As alternative option SMSL B2 or AkLIAM DD2

BC3 has resuscitated…do not know how & why. Now it works and charges. Has anyone tried from an iPhone the AAC codec? Amir had some reservations about the Android AAC implementation. I am playing Apple Music w AAC and it seems to sound better than my older Auris, or maybe it is a biased impression.
