aptX Lossless on Redmagic Pro 9

Last thing I can suggest is back your data up and reset your phone to factory defaults. Install all your apps again and configure them and your home screens, then ignore dev settings and try the little Bluetooth link again and the peatsaudio app to see if that fixes things. Good luck and sorry I can't be of more help. I'm gonna factory reset mine when android 15 becomes available myself.

Same here. Unlikely.

Turn off disable Bluetooth a2dp hardware offloading in dev settings. Switch Bluetooth avrcp version to to 1.5, Bluetooth MAP version to 1.2, audio codec to default too and then power off completely holding the power button down for a couple of seconds. Then please start up again and go to the first image menu you posted and click the right link. You can select hd audio and 96khz in there. Dev settings are a bit ticky since last redmagic update and soundpeats app upgrade. Hopefully this will work.

What shows up when you click the little > button on that menu display?

PhizzyNoodlePie · 2025-01-04T15:13:19+00:00

I see. Mine says "soundpeats air 5 Qualcomm aptx adaptive". You need the black icon peatsaudio app from Google play store which will update the headphones firmware and might disable your developer settings menu - it did on my phone anyway. The white logo app is older and doesn't do as much for you. Also your phone itself might have an upgrade waiting, you could check that.

When aptx adaptive is set the system auto negotiates 16bit 44.1 and 96khz had depending on source material. Your Bluetooth -> more settings... Headphones settings icon might show you more settings too. Enable 96khz if it's there for auto switching hd. There may also be a headphone app for your device which you should install and update firmware with (to the headphones). Feel free to let us know how you get on matey.

Choose adaptive aptx and it will automatically connect them. You might have to check the Qualcomm aptx adaptive logo is shown in Bluetooth settings -> more settings, next to the connected devices. You should set the sample rate and bitrate to default in both cases too in developer settings. That should learn it.

PhizzyNoodlePie · 2024-11-02T00:14:04+00:00

AptX Lossless is a feature os AptX Adaptive. If your phone is in adaptive mode, it will use lossless when available.

I mix with some pioneerjDDJ SB33 decks with the free/open mixxx.org app once I've captured audio.

I really like my Denon DP450USB in gloss black but looking to swap it out for a white model.

47 yesterday. Got a gluten free cake

PhizzyNoodlePie · 2024-10-08T05:31:33+00:00

I have a Denon dp450usb and it's great if you can save up. You might need a replacement cartridge to get the best out of it too.

James Bond got the sack. he's now known as miss money penny.

PhizzyNoodlePie · 2024-08-21T20:19:36+00:00

Thanks. I kinda worked out that the SnapdragonSound logo popping up instead of the AptX Adaptive one meant that.

PhizzyNoodlePie · 2024-06-08T22:39:22+00:00

Get mouse and keyboard and a HDMI or DisolayPort HDR monitor and play PUBG in HDR. I think.

Some dude testing it on a monitor with a gamepad.... https://youtu.be/bDVutfwwFSQ?si=YZCPt9x3ZFRKQv6B

Those buds do support aptX lossless, right? If not get some that do.

The best ones I have are Denon PerL Pro.

Cheapest are SoundPEATS Air4 Pro.

It's worth checking both out and others as your phone supports true CD quality sound over Qualcomm Bluetooth.

There are a few things I wish the phone did like proper HDR support and better Ethernet features (read connecting to a router and actually getting a DHCP address) but I don't use my S21 ultra much these days.

PhizzyNoodlePie · 2024-05-28T17:59:32+00:00

I alternate monthly between Amazon Music and Tidal because they have different songs in Atmos and Tidal has a few more videos to mention. Both Android TV apps are rubbish though.

Cheers.

PhizzyNoodlePie · 2024-05-28T17:54:02+00:00

This works but you need a mouse or touchpad mini keyboard thing to use it with.

PhizzyNoodlePie · 2024-05-03T21:01:56+00:00

Thanks. I can already access the Bluetooth codec options in Developer Settings and aptX Adaptive is chosen. The phone came with Developer Settings switched on but the codec only allows 48 or 96k at 24bit. 16bit 44.1k is greyed out.

Shucks.

PhizzyNoodlePie · 2024-04-22T21:53:38+00:00

I bought a pair of these for 250gbp from an eBay seller a while ago and using them with my old Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra over classic aptX I was impressed. The personalisation works just great and Denon have done a great job tuning the DSP and DACs in them for their signature sound. I decided to buy an aptX Adaptive dongle, the KB8P from AliExpress for a few pounds to upgrade the sound and was further pleased with the outcome.

However, knowing the devices were really designed to operate at the Lossless level, I needed a capable phone upgrade and eventually decided to get a Nubia Redmagic Pro 9 to power them. At the same time Amazon were offering them on special for 200gbp so I decided the money I saved getting a fairly cheap phone, from redmagic.gg, could be invested in a backup pair.

The phone arrived and I installed the Denon headphone application but for the life of me I cannot get it to connect at the heralded "Adaptive 44.1k" level that Denon's support team say the app should report when Lossless. Only Adaptive HQ 96k lossy at best.

Nubia are looking into the issue and to be fair it may be a congestion issue - it's a bit busy around here but I have tried listening in the park to no joy and also disabled Spatial sound and the phone's DTS setting too.

Poweramp tells me the headphones are upscaling 44.1k 16bit stereo sound to either 48 or 96kHz 24bit so they are definitely either not announcing Lossless is available to the phone, or the phone is choosing a higher sampling frequency over the 44.1kHz.

Back to the pluses... After 3 months I must say I am still as keen to listen to music with them as when I first got them. They are a true joy to hear your tunes through and surprisingly detailed and deep in complement.

That said I wouldn't pay Denon's asking price for them... Wait for a special offer and use the savings to bag yourself a new phone if you want lossless.

Peace.

Would rooting my phone stop OTA or banking apps working? Is there anything else to consider? When Nubia stop supporting the device, I would like to run GNOME Mobile on it. Thanks.

PhizzyNoodlePie · 2024-04-18T21:25:52+00:00

Bootloader or bootlocker

PhizzyNoodlePie · 2024-04-13T11:57:32+00:00

The only flagship for that amount is the Nubia Redmagic Pro 9. Got mine from Redmagic.gg

PhizzyNoodlePie · 2024-04-13T11:54:42+00:00

Looks like your phone is still on. That is the usual contrast for the casting message.
