With all other things being equal, my streamer sounds better than my macbook, which sounds better than my budget windows laptop. Just my experience. Haven’t tried it with Bluetooth.

Between lossy compression and dropped packets due to RFI, Bluetooth is going to sound shit however clean the bitstream is before it enters the BT domain. Wireless data streams can be either accurate or timely, and for obvious reasons media streams prioritise timely.
"Audiophile wireless" is an oxymoron. -

I don’t really follow how this is possible. Have you got some insane quality streamer or do they connect differently to the DAC? What DAC?

No noise in the digital signal whatever the source (unless you’re talking about jitter, which is of negligible effect compared to Bluetooth compression and wireless signal issues).
