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.
The codecs and hardware will have an effect.
The codecs didn't improve matters. After testing various SW I'm leaning towards HW.
There's also a difference between "better" and "nicer." From a purists point of view, better means *accurate* reproduction. Another person thinks it's nicer if they boost the bass &/or treble. That's *inaccurate*, and the problems compound when you use several things in tandem that have been tweaked. I have a pair of headphones with very boosted bass that turn good music into whumpy sound, they don't need something else doctoring the sound, as well.
I should have defined the issue better.
The Fedora system produces sound with, hard to describe, some "stuttering". So, it gives the impression of clicks, but there aren't any.
I don't often use the Fedora system for music, so not sure if it is worth trying fix it.
