How Good Is Audio Quality When Using An Amp's Bluetooth Connection


My Rotel Integrated Amp has bluetooth capabilities. Was wondering if anyone has experience streaming music in a high end audio system using the bluetooth connection versus apple airport express or other devices? What is the quality of the audio signal when using bluetooth? I have heard that it is not good and that signal is compressed. Almost all of my audio files are AIFF.

I have a bluetooth adapter for both headphones and my main system.  I find the sound to be noticeably inferior in both cases.  I would compare it to the difference between redbook CD and mp3.  It is not unlistenable, but it is easy to tell the difference.
