How MariSilicon Y Works? Oppo's New Bluetooth Chip Provides Wireless Lossless Audio

Lossless music without the need for dangling cables is promised by Oppo's latest Bluetooth chip, the MariSilicon Y. According to the large Chinese phone manufacturer, the special chip manages audio quality that is comparable to what wired headphones deliver. The newest product from Oppo will undoubtedly revolutionise Bluetooth audio technology. The Chinese electronics firm Oppo just unveiled its new bespoke Bluetooth chip, stating that it offers lossless audio quality, according to the most recent news report. Since smartphones began doing away with the 3.5 mm connector, Bluetooth has become the preferred connection for the majority of earbuds.

Other Android phone manufacturers first made fun of the decision, but Samsung and Google Pixel went through with it.

Most audiophiles are let down by Bluetooth audio, though, as it sacrifices lossless audio quality. Oppo is aiming to alter that this time. According to the Chinese phone manufacturer, its new MariSilicon Y chip offers 50% more bandwidth than current Bluetooth chips. This specialised microprocessor can handle up to 12 Mbps of bandwidth, to be exact. For a Bluetooth connection, that is extremely outstanding. Oppo claims that this allows for 24-bit, lossless audio at up to 192 kHz. No other processor is currently able to handle this, according to Google's research. Oppo appears to be levelling the playing field, then. Additionally, see Huawei and Oppo Sign Cross-Licensing Agreement, Covering Cellular Standard Crucial 5G Patents.

Additionally, it has a potent NPU built in. Together, these two produce outstanding audio quality without the use of wires. The URLC, or new ultra-resolution lossless coder, is the codec that the MariSilicon Y supports. The chip may also add spatial audio as a result of this. Even though the bespoke chip can perform all of these tasks, its size is less. Therefore, earbuds that support lossless music in the future won't be larger. They might even be smaller than the available options instead. Last year, Spotify also made a commitment to deliver Hi-Fi quality. It hasn't, though, seen the light of day yet. Perhaps the Swedish streamer will accelerate its distribution in response to this new Bluetooth chip.
