Think if you are streaming from an Apple product that is directly connected it will sound far better over Airplay.
In my car, there is almost no difference between, Tidal, Apple, and Spotify. It's not a revealing system. On my 2ch system, all 3 sound very different. Tidal is best but only when using Tidal Connect, then Apple, then Spotify.
How you are listening, and using the service, vastly affects the sound quality. Anything running native on the streamer/dac will sound vastly better over any other method.
