As for APTX, on the computer you should make sure that also goes briefly in the lower right corner above the clock, briefly when connecting the APTX window. ((At least for Windows 7))
Otherwise it may be that one indeed has a connection, however, does not APTX.
The laptop might have also connected via its own Bluetooth, (if it was ever eigerichtet) or via the USB dongle APTX, but but in both cases without APTX quality.
((For APTX is a APTX Bluetooth USB Dongle necessary))
New phones have my I already partially APTX ???
However, according to ratings do not run all the dongle on Windows 7 64 bit.
However, I have no problems with such a 8euronen dongle.
Unfortunately you just at startup, start the connection often itself, about 30% ... 70% but connects to the dongle itself always when you turn the laptop to the receiver.
I think that's just a matter of attitude.
Anyway, for me better than cable.
And the best part is, the device has an optical fiber output, the AV receiver can make the digital to analog conversion itself, for me that was the reason for buying next APTX.
If the AV Receiver one leaves the conversion because, as you can also use a cheap DVD player with optical fiber for CDs.
The player will only work as a drive and the conversion makes the ..sowieso usually better .. because converters in AV Receiver.
In that case an expensive extra-CD Player is unnecessary in principle. ..Wissen Somehow surprisingly few ..
For extremely Stereo Hifi pure stereo converter in expensive CD player is supposedly still there better .. but I doubt that the normal users hear the ..
