You are conflating compression and verbatim copying which are two different things and obviously not what they're talking about.

What they said:

> The signal is digital until it gets to the speaker so there is no loss of quality after the initial encoding

isn't true - the original encoding is decoded... and re-encoded, losslessly, by the Bluetooth protocol.

Who said they were talking about Bluetooth. It sounds like they were talking about a proprietary system like Sonos Wifi.

Original comment.

"and then sent over Wifi or Bluetooth"

the information about lossless was informative.
