Does Onkyo Receiver Support Ldac Bluetooth Codec

Noise canceling headphones always involve compromises. First, Bluetooth is a compressed format - no matter what manufacturers would like us to believe. Within Bluetooth there are various codecs to contend with each having their own limitations. Last, there is the amount of actual noise canceling available. This is the second Sony noise canceling headset I've owned. I also have the WH-1000M2. For this review I will compare the M5 with the Shure Aonic 50. The Sony offers all codecs except aptX. Why? Apparently they are promoting LDAC their proprietary codec. Your player may not support this so beware. Also it connecting to more than one device (phone and music player) it will default to AAC even if both devices support LDAC. The Shure phones can support LDAC on two devices. Sony has always offered superior noise reduction. I just used them on two 3 hour flights recently. They were excellent except that they switched out of noise reduction mode with me iPhone 14 Pro Max a couple of times. Not sure whether it was the phone or the Sony's. In comparing the music response between the Sony's and Shure's, to my ear the Shure's have the edge. I used jazz, classical and rock selections. The Sony has a little more bass response, but the Shure has more transparency in the high end. Nevertheless, the Sony noise reduction is far superior to the Shure. Sony now offers automatic noise reduction depending on ambient noise. It seems to work very well. It does offer a chat mode which will automatically turn off noise reduction when you speak. This seems to work well unless there is a lot of ambient noise. For telephone use the Sony works very well. Stopping starting the music as expected. Sound quality is very good. I don't have any reservations in recommending the Sony's.

Features seem to be promising with the added sensor and codec support.

I've updated my old Onkyo receiver to this and works great !

This is a great receiver. I bought it to replace my 30 year old Onkyo Receiver. It is very easy to use. There is nothing complicated to using this receiver. It sounds really good with the speakers that I have. One of my needs was that it have a phono input, and it has one. Some of the other brand receivers in this price range did not have a phono input. It does what it is supposed to do, and I am pleased.

Clear as clear can get. The audio is on steriods with my Onkyo 5100 receiver.

I had integra and Onkyo they both suck it is a great receiver for the money. Once you calibrate it it is all that.

Very good Bluetooth receiver.

These are absolutely amazing speakers, by far the best I've ever heard in this price range. The Bluetooth codec they created will astound you, because they simply don't sound like wireless speakers. They come beautifully packaged and protected, and are easy to install. Now I have speakers in a place that couldn't be wired!

We decided to go wireless and use Sonos to take away clutter and facilitate streaming and different music playback options in different rooms at the same time. We used to have an Onkyo 2 zone receiver running two amazing outdoor Bose speakers (prewired in our home) and a Bose Accousitmass 10 sorround system in our family room. To play the speakers outside we had to play the same thing in the Family room. It sounded good though. We replaced the Onkyo and indoor Bose surround with a Sonos Soundbar and we are 110% happy with that. We also bought a Sonos Amp to run the outdoor speakers. Now we can play different things in the different areas and the sound quality is phenomenal. The amp has more power and clarity than the old Onkyo receiver. I know this is a really expensive option, but for us, it was completely worth the investment!

I wish it came in black but other than that has been great. Have it hooked into my Onkyo receiver and watching netflix, hulu, @, dvd's, Blu-Ray's and when my glasses come in tomorrow 3D Blu Ray. Throws out a bright picture that even my poorly light controlled room shows well. (I wouldn't have any light directly thrown on the viewing serface however. MY only gripe is I wish the remote had a laser pointer built in, but then again this isn't a business projector...
