This tranceiver I ordered from Amazon got exactly as it described, the above list of code/codec (code and decode)
If you are gonna hook up a bunch of portable speakers like I do for three of them, then you'd purchase this BT tranceiver and you'll need a universal 1/8 or 3.5mm spliter. Some name like U-Spliter on Amazon. It comes with about 5 additional output and an extra 1/8 pigtail to plug it in to your source. There's plenty to connection after that. It's universal, you can do this eighter way, it will work.
If you'll used speakers this way, my first advice is to manually turn down each speaker, next to nothing. Why? You may get blown away, surprisingly, when connected. Thank me for this one.
Now that you got it all way down low, you'll want to turn your phone all the way up and max it out. This way you'll get the most from your phone, as far as BT is concerned.
The rest is manual, controlling the volume of each speaker to your likeness. There's my experience with them, and this way there's no confusion of music delay cause they're all on the same page. Good for the party.
I've had a couple of small portables I didn't wanted to put them away when I bought a gigantic W King T11. My two Med onn. rugged from Walmart still stand (5yrs). They sounded awesomely great none other can match. I've bought and returned a larger onn. from Walmart it's nothing to compare with the old one. But so the new W King arived, it's a closest and coolest match to that great sound, only 100W louder, not as the two small for about 10W each. Took me 6mos trying to get the best sound for the money. Have you got an ear full yet. Thank you.
UPDATE: I got around to test listening to the DAC in this Bluetooth receiver, running its analog out via RCA jack to an analog input on my amp. Honestly, I tried A/B switching between this versus running it digitally to my dedicated DAC and thought both sounded great. This one might be a tiny bit on the brighter side, but in any case sounded very good with a variety of Hi Res jazz and classical through my main home stereo. I was able to use aptX HD codec from Android and AAC codec from iphone (aptX HD seemed a little better, but just a little).
My one issue is with connectivity. It's not always the greatest. When placed slightly behind the TV, connectivity is very poor and disconnects semi-frequently. When moved in front of the TV, connectivity is better but can often be finicky if my receiver isn't in direct sight of it. This wouldn't be terrible if these hiccups didn't cause this horrible loud clicking noise that's much louder than the rest of the audio.
Still great receiver for the price. Much better than some other receivers that I've used that would have a channel imbalance that would result in one side lagging behind the other when using AptX HD
