RE: Don't believe the bluetooth hype

Bluetooth audio is lossy compression indeed
Depending on the codec


Codec kbs
SBC 328
APTX 352
APTX-HD 576
LDAC 990


As a reference:
The bit-rate of a CD = 2x16*41000= 1411 kbs
FLAC is roughly half of it.
High bitrate MP3: 320 kbs

If you want lossless over WiFi or Ethernet, have a look at DLNA
It is the de facto industry standard for lossless streaming.
There an many streamers for sale doing this.
A rather cheap and popular solution is a Raspberry PI with either a digital or analog out
Maybe this one https://www.allo.com/ gets you started.
