What exactly is aptX and will it benefit me in anyway if I'm only using this to link my iPod Classic 160GB with my Bose Soundlink Mini?

I tried to connect my iPod Classic 160GB via my KOKKIA i10s + aptX Tiny Bluetooth iPod Transmitter for iPod/iPhone/iPad/iTouch with true Apple authentication, delivers cleaner audio with reduced latency for aptX Bluetooth receivers to my Bose SoundLink portable Bluetooth speaker, but it would not connect after several tries. I went to the Bose SoundLink Mini page FAQ here: http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/digital_music_systems/bluetooth_speakers/soundlink_mini/index.jsp and it states: "What kind of audio sources can I use with the SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speaker?" "The speaker is designed specifically for use with today's most popular Bluetooth devices, such as smartphones, tablets and laptops. In addition, it includes an auxiliary input for a wired connection to an MP3 or similar portable player." The KOKKIA i10s + aptX is an add-on Bluetooth transmitter. If it were built-in, with different hardware, such as a tablet, computer, or headphones it would then connect. But instead, you will need to obtain a 3.5mm cable for your connection.

Aptx is just to make sure that the signal is strong and consistent, but you don't really need it. It's just an added bonus.

To have apt-x work, BOTH the receiving and the transmitting devices must be apt-x enabled devices. Just having one of the devices will not play in apt-x mode. Another words, both the source playing the content and the receiving device reproducing the sound must have the apt-x codec.

It allow your ipod classic to play music wireless to your bose soundlink system. This is so much user friendly and convenient. . Is a great buy.

It works with any bose sounddock that has the same conection for and i pod, because instead you conect the bose you conect the teku one. Good and clear signal. Works great and cheaper than the bose one

I'd like to know the answer to this too. Has anyone tried it? I'm afraid to upgrade to the ipod touch 4g unless/until I know if it will work with my iGroove SXT speaker system. Please advise. Thanks in advance. :)

Have to use their other product, "Miccus Mini-jack TX4: Bluetooth 4.0 Wireless Music Transmitter Featuring APT-X Low Latency Codec, Supports Two Connections at Once". It is just under $30 bucks more at the moment.

Yes. Was simple to setup and worked right away with my Bose headphones. Even got APT-x working.

I'm thinking so. I have the Bose portable sounddock from 2008, and my cord was no longer good. I bought this, and it works perfectly.

I was confused about this as well but it turned out to be pretty straightforward. Basically keep the 2 close to each other and make sure the Bose soundlink is in the pairing mode by holding the bluetooth button. You do not need to put in any code or anything it just pairs! Also it is important that your input is active, I was trying once with the input not connected to any music and it didn't work.

I'm actually wondering the same thing as the image shows BT3, the site says BT2.1, but for AptX you need BT4, so which is it?

Yes there is. The Bose SoundDock Portable sounds way better!! Trust me, it's basier, louder, the sound quality is much better!! The Bose Soundlink Bluetooth Speaker lll, the sound is tintier, & u can't turn the volume as loud as the SoundDock Portable. Also u can buy the Bluetooth adapter for the Bose SoundDock Portable on Amazon.

It will work with the device, but iDevices do not support aptX and the quality will suffer. Only macbook airs and pros support aptX. It will work fine through the iTouch, actually I'd expect it to have a more solid connection considering the lower bitrate without aptX but with aptX the device is very sensitive and loses connection and jutters the sound very easily. I'm going back to airplay for now.also edit: my issues i believe stem from living in a large apartment building with a ton of signal flying around, in a more rural setting it may perform much more solidly.

Not sure if support aptx. I have it for 3 weeks and so far there is no out of sync. Clear sound, and easy setup.

Each Bose, is designed according to your needs or whatever you want to hear. if you want to listen to music from your iPod, I do not think that the sound bar is suitable for music. the sound bar is designed to listen to movies at home like you're in the theater. according to your question, what you need you are ... (Docking Station, SoundLink Mini, SoundLink 2 and 3) and others. This is designed for music, what you're looking for.

Not to familiar with the bose soundlink but as long as it was wifi compatiable I dont see it being an issue, I have use this to connect to my kitchen stereo my wireless headset and even the car and had no issues

Do not know about Bose since I do not have one... I have several (much better sound & less costly) others. (get yoursef a set of Prodipe 3's!) I have others BT adapters that work in my associated docs but the A2DP only worked in one and only for a very short time... once it finally linked... and a few minutes later died. So I was unable to test in others.

I've been very pleased with the sound quality on my Saturn. The majority of the time, I use it in conjunction with non-aptX devices such as the Bose SoundLink Mini and Samsung Galaxy S4 phone. A lot depends on the Bluetooth implementation in the device but the Bose devices' fidelity seems quite good, so you should be pleased.
