Bluetooth audio uses compression. There isn't enough bandwidth for raw audio.
I have a NAS which contains all my music.
My Fedora 34 system accesses the NAS via a wired connection.
My Samsung phone accesses the NAS via Wifi.
Both use Bluetooth to connect to the same speakers.
Sound quality from the Samsung is better than from Fedora. When I have time I'll try to determine why that is so. I'm sorta suspecting pipewire. But I have to find the instructions for switching between pipewire and pulseaudio.
There are multiple compression methods and the better ones have patents. Try installing "pipewire-codec-aptx" from rpmfusion and see if that makes a difference. There's a similar one called "pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-freeworld" for pulseaudio.
