    AFAIK, ALAC will not be actually lossless over bluetooth for the sames reason LDAC can’t be lossless; there simply isn’t enough bandwidth. That doesn’t mean that it won’t sound great or perhaps work better than LDAC.

      It runs over a 5GHz connection, not a 2.4GHz connection like bluetooth.

        Oh, so they aren’t on bluetooth at all? That is an entirely different story, thanks for the info.

        Wait what? Do they not connect over bluetooth? Please don’t tell me they made up more proprietary bullshit.

          Yes, the protocol used is currently proprietary. That being said, so was ALAC at launch and they later made it open-sourced and royalty free.
