As PAR mentioned ditch the bluetooth and try an outboard DAC direct to your preamp. If you're on a Mac, software like Audirvana Plus or Pure Music may be able to help 'tailor' the sound of the stream. I'm sure there's similar software for Windows.A 320kbps bitrate isn't that bad, especially if it's AAC. AAC has been shown to sound better than MP3 at a given bitrate. But neither will be quite as good as CD quality.
IMHO bluetooth is crap so anything you can do to eliminate it should help.

"IMHO bluetooth is crap so anything you can do to eliminate it should help."
While bluetooth audio is certainly not comparable to CD or hi-res, you should check out some newer Bluetooth DACs before you call bluetooth audio "crap". I absolutely love my Auris bluMe DAC through which I stream Spotify/foobar2000 and others.
if not better than most.
....sound better than MP3, that was the main point. MP3 is ancient but too many audiophiles associate 'streaming' music over the internet with MP3.
