Loki, you need to get the audio signal to your 2160 as a digital signal and let the 2160s DAC decode and produce the music. Streaming from your phone or your computer is likely using the DAC in your phone/computer to decode the signal. High quality digital streaming is made garbage if not decoded by a quality DAC which you paid big $$$ for in your 2160. As Stach said above the streaming quality control is just not consistently consistent.
