I've been experiencing unusually poor Airplay quality with Mac OS 12.0.1 (Monterey) for a while now. It's not tied to a particular update, but somewhere from when I originally bought my new M1 iMac to now the Airplay quality sounds like a year 2001 mp3.

Music Source: Apple Music (Streaming + songs that I own with known good quality)
Airplay to Denon AVR-X3600H

I've always had good sound quality with my setup. When I Airplay from an iPhone or iPad, there are no issues.

Does anything think this is iMac or Monterey related?

For what its worth, this new M1 setup has not been the greatest experience. The iMac seems sluggish and now it doesn't show Mac OS 12.1 as being available more than 30 hours after its release...
