Just wondering if anyone with a phone and some headphones using aptx (regular aptx or aptx HD, not aptx low latency) can let me know if virtual instruments (e.g. a piano app) are playable with the audio coming through bluetooth or if theres just too much lag.
I have an old bluetooth receiver that I think uses SBC but the latency makes it very very hard to play. It seems aptx is a bit faster so if that makes things playable ill spring for an aptx receiver. It doesnt need to be super low latency as I just want to jot down rough ideas on it and not record seriously to a metronome or anything.

100ms added normally, if you scout around you will find a guy running a kickstarter for a pre amp that is wireless and low latency, but i forget the name, sorry.
Duh
