Does Apple TV Airplay output bad audio quality?

Plugging my Swans M200 MKII speakers directly via headphone jack sounds way better.

To make it work wirelessly I've got apple tv connected via optical to a FiiO D3 that converts optical to stereo, RCA? red/white cable and that to speakers.

With Airplay the amount of bass increases and I get distortion, I also loose detail. No equalizer in iTunes.

It's really quite noticeable.


What gives?
