LDAC (Lossless Digital Audio Codec) is a proprietary audio coding technology developed by Sony, which allows streaming lossy audio over Bluetooth connections at up to 990 kbps at 32 bits/96 kHz. Despite this, Sony markets LDAC as "lossless" and "high-resolution," declaring the quality to be better than true lossless, high-resolution audio.[1] It is used by various products, including headphones, earphones, smartphones, portable media players, active speakers, and home theaters.
The encoder of LDAC is open-source under Apache License 2.0, so that any device can be coded to transmit LDAC streams without patent or licensing issues. The decoder design remains proprietary.
