The issue is that Discord's audio processing is focused on mitigating the impact of the worst audio setups, not preserving the quality of the best, and I don't even think that's the wrong focus given their casual target market

I'd believe this if they didn't offer higher quality as a paid feature.

And why is there no passthrough mode setting for voice channels?

Plenty of people out there with decent usb mics and a cheap little dac/amp setup.

A pass-through mode where we disable all audio processing is on the roadmap, for those with really good setups that don't need the post-processing :)
