The bluetooth wakeup sounds nice since my power button refuses to work sometimes
Kinda sucks with multi-homed devices like my pixel bud pros because it constantly wakes up the deck until i disconnect them, so this is nice fix being able to toggle devices.
I use my deck every day whether I'm just half playing an idler or plating something more engaging but my power button is struggling. I've done a bunch of the "fix it at home" things so I just hope it doesn't become completely unusable... I could send it back for repair but then I'd be without my deck for weeks...
I tried to use mine as well but found the latency to be too much to handle
Maybe try this, in desktop mode make sure the SBC-XQ codec is selected for your headphones, it's night and day difference for me (or can try LDAC if XQ isn't available)
I always use it when docked. Important to note that the LCD version does not support Bluetooth wake though.
Yeah I know :(
