Very happy using this little magic Bluetooth box. Sampling Tangerine Dream on YouTube from laptop and sounding very good. There could be mileage in exploring this a wee bit more Catch 22 Some albums I can't find anywhere to sample so cannot hear it. Oddly enough if Google doesn't come up with an album then searching on YouTube finds it I sample to check whether or not I buy a CD. Beginning to wonder if I need to ....

It needs to be Android 9 or above Go into settings then towards bottom click about phone and then software informationIf 9 or above do the following Click settings Click Connections Click Bluetooth Pair device by pressing the relevant Bluetooth device Then press the gear on the right hand side and turn on LDAC Let me know if this makes sense Mike if not I do a video instruction for you If this works also let me know as a few other steps in getting the best out of LDAC which I will guide you through From above and your other posts I assume my phone won't do it well if at all 4 Misc devices Samsung Q70 series TV (actually a Panasonic) This is more like the tech I'm used to, unhelpful

Yes you are not able to do with your present phone But you can get a tablet for just over 100 if you have WiFi which I presume you have

Tablet or phone to take over from laptop 2. Power supply to take over from mains to USB plug Which is the one to have first ? Will also try a Mk 1 Black Ravioli under the Bluetooth box

Quick comparison between TAD CD and the Bluetooth box
BT not at all bad, perhaps muffled CD more clarity, detail, space
Couple of old style Black Ravioli under the BT5 box and a granite coaster on top. Definite improvement, still some way short of the CD.
No surprises there, but for what I currently want to achieve a great result
First track compared

You need to hear BT in its full glory sure the TAD should win it better at that price.
So until you get BT working in HD you cannot judge at the moment as no way performing at its best. You will need to get Samsung Tablet A8 or A7 both are cheap.
Worry about power supply once you have set up correctly as not going to make a big difference

Could I upgrade my LG phone to Android 9 even ? Amount of memory to work as well as possible ?

Just look in Settings / Upgrade (or sometimes About), Mike. If there is an OS update available, it'll tell you. My LG G7 went up to Android 10 before I broke it.

By a roundabout route I find this phone is Android 8.1
Any difference worth having between a 7 or 8 tablet ? I need Android 9 or higher LDAC How much memory is best ? Anything else ?

Some 8.1s will update to 9, but the hardware never will get better.

I paid £95 for a nearly new Teclast P20HD with Android 10 and BT5 - works very well.

I'll second that - I use a Teclast Android tablet for my music room controller.
