I wonder how much of the purchase price is going in licensing fees though. AAC requires one, aptX requires one, plus DRM.

The BTR3 supports aptX HD. This is the slightly larger model. It can also be used as a DAC when plugged into your computer.

The smaller one doesn’t support some codecs but it is really cheap, like 30USD.
