LDAC is an alternative to Bluetooth SIG's SBC codec. Its main competitors are Huawei's L2HC, Qualcomm's aptX-HD/aptX Adaptive and the HWA Union/Savitech's LHDC. [1]LDAC utilizes a type of lossy compression [2] [3] by employing a hybrid coding scheme based on the modified discrete cosine transform [4] and Huffman coding [5] to provide more efficient data compression.
A personal computer that does not have embedded Bluetooth can use a Bluetooth adapter that enables the PC to communicate with Bluetooth devices. While some desktop computers and most recent laptops come with a built-in Bluetooth radio, others require an external adapter, typically in the form of a small USB "dongle".

[8] The receiver was mounted on the head by a clamp which held it next to the ear. [9]
