You can plug them into the phone itself or use the Astrell&Kern XB10, a portable Bluetooth puck with Bluetooth aptX HD support. It uses a hi-fi DAC plus an amp and offers a 3.5mm unbalanced and 2.5mm balanced outputs.

As for the phone, it’s a 16 Plus unit in Aurora Blue with 8GB of RAM and 128GB storage, which normally costs CNY 3,200.

Not really, the Sony codec ain't that bad but HWA on the other hand has wider supported sample rate by the way HWA is seeing much wider adoption (still not enough). I am very good in what I do, thanks for asking.
