Optimal settings for Bluetooth using LDAC in Android Oreo

I've got sweet Bluetooth IEM headphones (H2 from RBH) that support the new Sony "LDAC" Bluetooth codec that's available in Android Oreo (well, it's "somewhat" available -- my Samsung Galaxy S9 has LDAC available but only in Developer Options, which is fine and just needs to be reset upon a device restart).

 

I'm using Spotify's highest-quality downloads on my phone.

 

The questions is which of the following settings for Bluetooth are optimal with LDAC:

 

Bluetooth AVRCP version:

- 1.4 (Default)

- 1.5

- 1.6

 

Sample rate:

- 44.1

- 48

- 96

 

Bits per sample:

- 16

- 24

- 32

 

 

(Not to taint the discussion, but the head of the tech support dept for the maker of the headphones suggested I go with the highest available settings for Sample rate and for Bits per sample, 96/32, but he also seemed to be humbly suggesting he wasn't positive about that; and FWIW in my initial experimenting I don't know that anything above 44.1/24 or perhaps 48/24 is helpful and it seems the highest available settings may even be a bit distorted -- though I'm about as from an audiophile as it gets and my ear is not at all "trained.")

 

Thanks!
