Today Huawei released the new L2HC 3.0 standard This has become the world's fastest lossless sound quality transmission among audio codec formats. I'm going to have to try their new earbuds with this new codec.

Don't @ me with the PRC is going to steal my shaved butthole pics.

And yet most music is still recorded and rendered at 16bit / 44100Hz.

As it's not explicitly stated in the OP and only mentioned near the end of the article, this is indeed a wireless technology.

Shame it's proprietary and led by one company, but now that the bar has been raised we may see an open standard emerge.

I'm curious about power consumption.

Will it work on my iPhone?

At 1.5Mbps this actually means you can play uncompressed CD quality without any quality loss, should be enough for upto 16bit / 48000Hz actually, the important part here will be latency, if we're finally at 16bit/48Khz then that covers pretty much majority use cases for most users.

I don't question the capabilities but the demand. It's already possible to have a much higher bit depth and bit rate outside of AAC and the support from producers is still marginal.

And yet i still use youtube to mp3 converter for all my music...

 

[Roxkis_ii]

I don't mind Bluetooth, but when I really want an audio experience, I plug in my headphone jack. I'm holding on to my lg v60 for dear life right now.

I really don't want to depend on one company for my needs if I don't have to.

 

[AJUMP23]

Leaving the MP3 codec behind would be amazing, and getting back to high quality music in digital formats should be a priority.

Also Chia is going to include spyware in that.

I store my pics on Google. And I know the government is spying on every citizen.....it sucks.

This is tangential but ever since the US government tried to put Huawei out of business. Huawei has been on a tear innovating

China just said you need all of our best engineers.

It's faster than Apple's own AAC, so not for a decade is my wager
Did Apple's official music app add FLAC compatibility yet or you're still forced to use third party apps?

 

[Hudo]

One cool thing about Black Metal: It doesn't matter if you hear the songs on a 20 year, ragged ham radio speaker or a $2000 speaker. They sound exactly the same.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

I don't know anything about digital files but all I know is if I download a song at that 192-rating. Kbs or kHz or whatever. It seems fine. The biggest issue is whether or not the song file is recorded mono or stereo.

 

[bender]

How does this compare to FLAC. It's been ages since I did digital file conversion.

 

[Tams]

Huawei? Not even once.

I'll stick to trustworthy Sony when it comes to consumer audio.

That's only part of the problem, and we can't go into most of it here.

I don't support companies that quite literally steal from others though.

[IntentionalPun]

It's a standard, so you can get it from a non-Chinese company if you guys are that worried about your shaved butthole pics.

sold by data brokers who scrape all your online data to sell to the highest bidders. just know that somewhere in a database there is a copy of everything you've done on the internet. likely more than one copy.

It's enough bandwidth to transfer full CD quality FLAC as is.

Sony still put headphone jacks on their Xperia phones also.
