I don't use a receiver. Now I'm worried I'm being ignorant. Why should I?

Currently I have all consoles into the TV with HDMI then optical from the TV to our soundbar. It's an LG B7 TV and we're in a relatively small living room (Where we sit on the sofa is probably just 2-3 feet away from the tv)
Well you're listening to compressed sound rather than uncompressed when you watch Blu-Rays.
2-3 feet, seriously?

Why would going directly from BD player/console to soundbar compress the sound, as opposed to going via receiver??
