Sorry for the delay in responding. I've been out of town.
In short, no. Since it's a USB device so far as Linux is concerned, my go-to BT tools like bluetoothctl and hcidump are useless. I'm not going to spend $100+ for a device like Ubertooth One to passively/promiscuously sniff BT packets over the air, capture them to file, and then wade through them with kismet. The response from Creative Technology to another user who asked "how can I be sure" was basically, if the remote device supports AptX, then it "just works."
At some point I'll try A/B tests listening to my Sennheiser headphones first connected via the BT-W2 (should be AptX) and then connected via the RPi BT transceiver (for sure will be SBC). Haven't had time yet.
