Qualcomm Unveils S7 Pro Snapdragon Sound Platform With Micro-Power Wi-Fi and 24-bit/19kHz Lossless Streaming
audioxpress.com
During its Snapdragon Summit event Qualcomm unveiled the latest S7 and S7 Pro Gen1 Sound platforms, which will soon power a new generation of advanced audio products. The new platforms offer five times the compute power, three times the DSP processing power, and almost 100 times on-device AI processing power compared to the previous generation. A real differentiator is the use of micro-power Wi-Fi to extend wireless audio range and support for up to 192kHz lossless music quality in the S7 Pro.

This new S7/S7 Pro platform (not to be confused with aptX Lossless) allows headphones and speakers to connect to phones using “micro-power” wifi for up to 192kHz lossless music quality in the S7 Pro. Some other features includes better adaptive ANC and more powerful DSP.

    If a company like Qudelix makes a 5K with this WiFi lossless support, it’s game over.

      Not “wifi lossless” but lossless via wifi. Even the slowest standard, wifi b (2.4ghz for less power consumption), supports speeds up to 11mbps.

      BT 5.0 supports up to 2mbs at a shortened range.

      Stereo PCM 32B 96Khz is about ~6mbps.
      Stereo PCM 24B 48Khz is about 2.5mbps.

    I do think there’s still a major difference between Bluetooth and lossless on high-quality speakers or headphones, and once this is figured out then it will obsolete the need for wired connections.
