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?

      The quality of AAC depends a lot on the encoder. The iPhone does it pretty well, Android not so much.

      That’s what the audio nerds say, at least. Personally I can’t really hear a difference except when using the headphones with the microphone, when it reverts to some ancient codec with more noise than signal.
