by Sony that enables the transmission of High-

Resolution (Hi-Res) Audio content, even over a

BLUETOOTH connection. Unlike other

BLUETOOTH compatible coding technologies

such as SBC, it operates without any down-

conversion of the Hi-Res Audio content*7, and

allows approximately three times more data*8

than those other technologies to be transmitted

over a BLUETOOTH wireless network with

unprecedented sound quality, by means of

efficient coding and optimized packetization.
