Bluetooth audio suddenly choppy
I've been playing my iTunes over a bluetooth speaker for well over a year with absolutely no issues. Now (within last 2-3 weeks) the audio is so choppy it's unusable. I have all Mavericks updates applied, and refuse to install Yosemite until other issues are resolved.
I checked the signal strength, and it's strong: -72dBm
I have tried this, with no luck:

I haven't found any other apparent fixes online, and have tried the following:
- Confirmed NO other Bluetooth devices paired to speakers
- Removed ALL paired Bluetooth devices
- Turned off Bluetooth speakers
- Disabled Bluetooth
- Disabled wi-fi (saw this in another post)
- Shut down Macbook Pro for 10 mins
- Remove ALL USB accessories
Then turned on Macbook & speakers... enabled bluetooth... paired.
Same results... horrible sound.
Question: Was there an OSX update in the last month or so that may have impacted Bluetooth??
Hardware:
Macbook Pro (2012-ish) 2.6 GHz Core i7
OS X: 10.9.5
Speakers: Samsung DA-E750
Sending BT diagnostic report to Apple support, but highly doubt I'll get an answer.
Thoughts?
