This is very true!!

I hate satellite music due to how compressed it is. Might be around 64 Kbps due to the low bandwidth.

Bluetooth transmission also sucks. Even aptX has to use the aptX codec which again re-encodes the audio - and the system has to support it.

I would get the B&W but that really puts my cost way above my range. Settling for the HK for now :-(
