As far as I like about Linux but audio quality feel less bass despite a tweak to supposedly bring the best sound on ALSA didn’t help.

Piano timbres sound far better on macOS and Windows unless you could advice me.

What DAC are you using? And what audio applications? On MacOS and Windows, if your music player is not using CoreAudio or WASAPI “exclusive mode”, your audio is going to get res ampler and dithered by the OS mixer. This may be the difference that you’re hearing.
