I'd say a proper decoder makes a lot of difference and the only way of ensuring its effect would be to have your decoded signal sent to the DAC and amp without a black box compression algorithm but...ah...sigh.

Be nice to have higher Bluetooth streaming on iPhone higher than 320 or whatever the max is.

Apple products are incapable of anything higher than 256kbps. And the lack of the 3.5mm jack means the standalone experience remains subpar as always.

The only reason you'd upgrade to a 'cd quality' stream is to use it on other products that are better.

A fresh report combined with code snippets points to Apple launching a new CD-quality tier for its Apple Music streaming service. Currently, Apple Music streams in 256 Kbps AAC files, which are sub-CD standard and as high quality as offerings from competitors like Tidal and recently announced Spotify HiFi service coming later this year.
