Now now, saying its useless is a hair strong. It works wonderfully for servers. As a work station it can be a bit of a mess keeping perfect pairity with each new, sprawling branch of tech and standards. Especially when it's in a blind spot most people find convienent (looking at you webapps).

It may not work for you, and what's the harm in having more options for the consumers!

However, the evangelizing I don't understand.

To be fair. AptX in general is niche and proprietary. That fact that regular AptX and LDAC can be enabled with one command is awesome considering they're proprietary.

Generally, if anything is a standard it's added much more quickly than other platforms so I wouldn't call it useless. It's a shame because Linux really has the best Bluetooth stack. It just works.

I'm hopeful SBC-XQ gains traction, even if I prefer an uncompressed stream, at least we have a better A2DP standard. Linux already supports this so it's ahead of the game.
