There are number of phones compatible with AptX/AptX HD (https://www.aptx.com) - any ideas if Note 8 Exynoss version is also AptX compatible?

Yes, I've got a Exynos SM-N950F and I just checked the logcat whilst connecting my AptX headphones. Various mentions of the aptx library are mentioned along with this:
Code:
[ 09-22 10:57:03.226 4364: 4928 D/CODEC_IF_MOD ]
codec_open: apt-x encoder initialized successfully
chhers mate!
Interesting. I never knew about this enhanced BT audio standard. So, you are saying that any BT audio device that supports this aptx will work fine with our new Note 8 phones?
Yes, it's not that new either. I bought AptX compatible stuff for my Note 3.
Is it normal with APTX to still get a huge BT delay when gaming ?
I have a Sennheiser HD1 wireless in-ear and im certain it supports APTX.
Question. It seems that BT 5.0 headphones choice is scarce. Where can I find set that ticks both boxes; aptx and 5.0 ?

What we want is APTX HD and LDAC codecs. Especially the LDAC.
Hopefully these will come with Oreo (in a year's time) but they should provide substantial improvements with compatible headphones. Up to 3 x the data bandwidth and 24bit/96K audio with LDAC.
I asked Samsung support about these codecs and their answer was that the Note 8 is NOT COMPATIBLE with modern bluetooth headphones.
Enjoy your 'flagship' phone
Any information about the DAC in the Note 9?

Not that I can find yet? Will be interesting to find out.

Same here ....
Waiting to hear about this too. Will be the difference between me buying the Tmobile variant or an unlocked international one. Only reason I rooted my Note 8 was for Viper and it was worth the 20% battery loss for the sound quality, but if they can get the dac anywhere close to the V20, I'll no longer need root.
Samsung using hi dac ? ??
No way
Should be the same as the s9 plus. Go figure that one out.

I'm pretty impressed with the headlamp when playing high res audio.

There was an article on the phone arena from ifixit I think. The DAC is Qualcomm AMD the amplifier is MAXIM. THAT'S for the snapdragon version. Anyway it's the same from S9

I have Exynos version. And super pleased with the quality.
Same here. It's a step up from the N8 which was already good. Anyone know anything about the DAC in the international version?

It's the same DAC as the international versions of S9. Maybe we could find some information on the S9 forums
I suspect, I don't yet know, the DAC in the Note 9 will be a Wolfsen (Cirrus logic) in the Exynos variety? Very accomplished DAC

clear and loud
It is clear and soo much loud with dolby enabled

I forgot if apple bought Cirrus logic or Wolfson or if Cirrus logic bought Wolfson but IIRC Wolfson is part of Cirrus logic now which is part of Apple. I don't know if Apple wholly owns it though. Still pissed off Apple bought Authentec and only used it for themselves. My laptop fingerprint sensor has not worked as well as previous models with Authentec. But it's apple. Shouldn't be surprised. They buy IP or companies and then invent everything.

That is not the case. Wolfsen microelectronics was purchased by Cirrus logic in 2014. To date Cirrus logic is owned by Cirrus logic. Who they do business with is another matter.

Hey guys, can you please tell me If there is any difference in internal audio quality viz a viz S9 and Note9 (both exynos). Cant seem to justify the $300 difference (dont really need the SPen)

I highly doubt there is a $300 difference. Probably not even a $50 difference.
If you have no need for an s-pen, there are only a couple things you're paying for with the Note9: larger battery, larger screen, better cooling, more storage (and RAM, potentially).
But the s-pen is the centerpiece of this phone. It's why you buy it.
I just saw a news article saying Qualcomm said they have the capability built into the 855 chipset but has not getten the licensing. They're calling it Qualcomm fastconnect.
https://www.androidauthority.com/qualcomm-fastconnect-1022505/
No it does not
Source: have OP7pro and Asus Rapture AX11000 router
ax wifi ?
5G..., all SF, beautifull story, but all internet sites are limited. Very!
I asked OnePlus via Twitter if the OP7Pro would have it and they said no.
Wi-Fi 5 on OnePlus 7 Pro
Nope, the Snapdragon 855 uses the older WifiBT chip so I do t know how to unlock it. Maybe take another Fastconnect 6200 phone and use that software to make it work.
It's more then just a firmware trick, there's hardware requirement for WiFi 6
As per the title. Or if anyone knows if the DAC is any good.
Couldn't find any info online.
The Redmi Note 10 Pro Global Version which I am having all the available Bluetooth codecs. It has AptX, aptx HD,aptx Adaptive, aptx tws+, LDAC and LHDC. It worked perfectly, tried LHDC on supported earbuds like Oppo Enco X it's good.
Hello all,
I've been thinking of getting the Edge 30 Ultra since i've seen some decent discounts on it in the uk.
I was wondering however if anyone can confirm if the phone supports AptX HD when connected to headphones / bluetooth speakers that support it.
Products | aptX
www.aptx.com
The Edge 30 Ultra is not listed but the X30 Pro is. I think any phones with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 should support most of the aptx codec.
