Does the Surface Pro support APT-X Bluetooth?

I'm looking at some bluetooth speakers, and I know that APT-X codec gives better sound quality.

Would this work with the Pro? Or would I need different drivers?

Thanks

Hmm my last reply vanished. 

Aptx is Bluetooth but Bluetooth 1.-4. is not itself aptx.

Aptx is made by csr.

See which tablets contain aptx:http://www.csr.com/technology-solutions/av/audio-products-powered-by-csr-aptx/tablet

Well spotted when it came to the other answer you Got.

Enjoy your hifi!!

Greetings Dasauto,

    Thanks Steven, but I don't think that answers my question.

    If I bought some APT-X speakers I want to know if the Surface would automatically use the APT-X codec, or the lower quality standard codec.

    Nice one danielllll....no Microsoft on that list so it looks like a no :(

    You'd think as a codec, it could be added on.

    Come on Microsoft!

    I actuallly think it is a physical transmitter that has to be put in the product and that cost extra for all companies making tablets. So maybe that's why:)

    I am also for a lookout for a tablet myself for Hifi use. That's why I found the link I gave you. Don't trust anybody but csr on this:)
