The BT100 supports Bluetooth A2DP using either the original SBC encoded
form or the latest higher quality aptX encoded form.
SBC and aptX refer to the encoding used over the wireless Bluetooth interface
only and not the format your music may be in, which can be any type that your
phone/laptop or other playing device supports.

aptX is optional, so check if your sending device supports it, if you wish to
achieve the highest quality audio transfer.
Note: The BT100 declares that it can handle both SBC and aptX to the sending
device which will then use whichever version it supports.
What is aptX?

If your Bluetooth audio source does not support aptX, the BT100 will fall back
to using the standard SBC CODEC that is supported by all Bluetooth audio
devices.
