PSA: Do not EVER judge the audio quality of a recording if you are listening to it via any sort of Bluetooth wireless streaming.

I was just listening to my most recent concert recording I finished working on this weekend streamed from my phone to my living room stereo while I was doing some work, and it sounds like absolute dog shit compared to what's really on the recording that I hear direct from my workstation to my studio monitors or proper headphones.

The only exception might be if you are streaming in aptX lossless, though that's rare. My phone to Denon AVR can only do AAC 44.1 kHz. The source files are 24 bit, 96 kHz lossless.

The dynamics have become highly compressed, frequency response truncated, and it sounds like I'm listening through an FM radio through a heavy blanket. My original recording is quite faithful to the live sound, but this is just awful. No thank you.

Wow that first post is the worst run-on sentence I've ever written. Please pardon me I was speaking stream of consciousness to my phone because I'm angry at how terrible my recording sounds now.
