Using either 3.5mm or Bluetooth output

Have a look at the new-ish Creative BT-W5. I use an earlier-generation Creative BT-W2 with a pair of Sennheiser earphones which accept aptX encoding and am very satisfied.

I surely will. Thank you.

Don't know what your headphones can work with but note that the BT-W5 (on sale for 40 USD at the moment) supports aptX Adaptive while the lesser priced BT-W3x (on sale for 28 USD at the moment) supports aptX-HD. My old BT-W2 supports only the original aptX encoding.

Also note that a great debate rages among audionervosa types about how good aptX schemes are sonically. My aging ears aren't a good reference system
