Cannot get aptX LL with aptX HD capable transmitters

Updated my review after correspondence with manufacturer. They were very responsive and should be commended for that. First, they provided additional Qualcomm proprietary documentation showing that the QCC3034 chipset does indeed support aptX LL (low latency). I found it true. Second, they helped diagnose why I couldn't get the receiver to pair in aptX LL mode. My transmitter supports both aptX HD and aptX LL. In such cases, the receiver automatically prefers HD, and unfortunately there is no way to force it to use LL. While this is all very clear (now) and I thank the manufacturer for their prompt and direct communication, the bottom line is this. that I cannot use this receiver in LL mode to watch video content, which is the main reason for my purchase. aptX HD has high quality but not low latency, so the lag is noticeable and annoying. I have upgraded my rating from 1 star to 3 stars. I have no doubt that this will be a good product for some consumers but the lack of clear marketing communications may confuse some people into believing that they can use this for low latency connections in situations where the device is using the LL mode and switches to LL mode instead HD mode. The original review is below ---------------- The product description states that this product supports aptX LL. The data sheet accompanying the product lists the QCC3034 Bluetooth chip. According to Qualcom's specs, it's a budget chip that doesn't support aptX LL. Of course my aptX LL transmitter does not switch to LL mode when paired with this receiver. it's coming back
