Apple tv with Apple music hi res streaming issues?

I am trying to get hi res audio from Apple Music and Amazon Music HD through my Apple TV.  But as I understand it (From Apple website) IF I stream through my Apple TV the MAX resolution I can get is 24/48khz which as I understand it is only CD quality.

So, how do I get optimum hi res audio streaming quality then?  Do I try to just go to the Apple Music Apps on my smart TV and not try to stream from my Apple TV?

 

I have changed the settings on my computer to the hi res settings BUT the Apple forum says ONLY 24/48khz but not 24/192 hi res.  That makes no sense to me.

 

Please tell me your thoughts.

Ok, but They both claim that they have 24/192 khz.  

I am just a guy wanting better hi res audio.  I don't consider myself an audiophile just a guy that likes good high quality hi res audio.

So I just asked IF went directly to the apps instead of through the Apple TV (Apple Music & Amazon HD) if I might get higher resolution.

Would anyone else please weigh in?  I am obviously in over my head.

Thanks for your comment.  I am running it through a mid level Schiit audio dac and a Schiit audio Freya + preamp and into a a Crown XLS 1502 amp.  I have very old but fully rebuilt and very cool vintage Dahlquist DQ-10 speakers that needed a lot of power.

I am retired and on a tight budget.  I hear that the Bluesound Node 3 streamer which has a better Dac inside might carry the day and improve my situation.

But then the question is:  will the streamer REALLY bring the music and audio to a much better hi res outcome?

As I have said, I am just an old guy that wants to hear as good audio as I can given my current set up.  Thanks again.
