LDAC is an audio coding technology developed by Sony that enables
the transmission of High-Resolution (Hi-Res) Audio content, even over
a BLUETOOTH connection. Unlike other BLUETOOTH compatible coding
technologies such as SBC, it operates without any down-conversion of
the Hi-Res Audio content*
7
, and allows approximately three times more
data*
8
than those other technologies to be transmitted over a
BLUETOOTH wireless network with unprecedented sound quality, by
means of efficient coding and optimized packetization.
