Apple Music streaming vs "direct" connection


With all the streaming options these days, Anyone play around with different configurations to stream Apple Music while staying in their ecosystem?

Iphone>Apple Music>Airplay>Airport Express> amp. (may not be true lossless per Darko article)

Ipad>Apple Music> Apple headphone adaptor>amp (Ipad outputs 24/48, headphone adaptor dac does 24/48 - or so they say)

Any other configurations?

I’ll be the Philistine here.  I use an Android tablet and Chromecast Apple Music to my Cambridge Audio streamer.  It sounds pretty good to me.  If I use my iPhone then it’s AirPlay, which is a slight tick below Redbook Quality
