OP,
i think you’re over thinking the process. I would focus on what you can control, which is picking a decent streamer, DAC and preferably wired Ethernet connectivity. Once you do, you will find streaming quality from Qobuz and Tidal more than satisfactory and enjoyable.
In direct comparison, there are plenty of albums from 50’s and 60’s on Qobuz that sounds amazing when compared with vinyl.
